Split Holidays

Known for its irresistible beaches, terracotta rooftops and fascinating history, Split is fast becoming one of the most popular destinations in Croatia. It’s the largest city on the Dalmatian Coast, set on the Adriatic Sea, half way between Dubrovnik and Zadar.

Walking through Split’s winding streets is like stepping back in time. Peppered with Roman buildings and ruins from the Middle Ages, this city is steeped in history. As you meander through the Old Town’s narrow lanes, expect to stumble across beautiful stone buildings and grand archways. The ancient palace and cathedral are particularly impressive.

The curling coves along Split’s coast have formed several gorgeous beaches, but Bačvice tops them all. It’s near the centre of the city, and the sand is so spotlessly clean that the beach has been awarded a Blue Flag. Shallow, clear water means it’s perfect for families, while more adventurous swimmers can find deep water further from the shore.

If you think Dubrovnik is the party capital of Croatia, think again. From classy cocktail bars on the seafront to lively bar crawls in the city, Split wakes up once the sun goes down. There are loads of nightclubs to choose from and, in the summer months, you can dance at the beach parties until the sun comes up.
