Split, in Dalmatia, is the second largest city in Croatia and the largest on the Adriatic coast. With excellent transport connections by bus, sea, air and train, it’s easy to travel to and from the city and is fast becoming a popular holiday destination. It is a buzzing, exuberant city which combines tradition with modernity. Split has some beautiful architecture, fabulous and varied restaurants, interesting bars and a lively nightlife, not to mention some dazzling beaches and shorelines.
Some of Croatia’s most beautiful islands are easily accessed from Split; Brac is the largest island in central Dalmatia with several towns and villages and a striking landscape of steep cliffs, inky waters and pine forests. The scenery on Hvar Island is awe-inspiring with abandoned ancient hamlets, vineyards and the lavender fields for which the island is famous, but a visit to swanky Hvar town is a must – this really is the place to see and be seen with elegant restaurants and legendary bars, Hvar is rapidly becoming the go to place for the latest generation of “Jet Setters”.
