Spilt is a small city located in the south of Croatia and wedged in a thin strip of land between the Adriatic sea to the south and mountains to the north which rise up behind the town. The city has an airport which serves major European destinations, and can be reached in 5 hours by road or rail from the capital Zagreb in the north of the country.
Discover Split’s 4 zonesSplit is divided into 4 zones. The historical centre and harbour area, where you are likely to spend most of your time in the city, the coastline stretching to the east, replete with various coves and beaches, and which makes for a wonderful daylong stroll, the modern suburbs sprawling north-eastward from the centre, and the delightful area around Majan Park to the west.

Multiple boats leave a day from the harbour to the island of Brac, with its world-famous Golden cape beach. Join the jet-set at the island of Hvar, with its many nightclubs, posh restaurants and lounge bars, or sail to the quaint island of Solta and explore its imposing wild and natural landscapes.
Split for water sports aficionadosSo what is it going to be? How about a half day rafting trip in the River Cetina canyon near Split. Tackle the white-water rapids, then learn to rock-jump, and stand under a waterfall! Or what about a tour exploring the sandy beaches and rocky coves around the city on a kayak, cruising through the Caribbean-esque turquoise waters. Still not satiated? Then how about a snorkelling tour in nearby Omis? Paddle through a wide canyon, snorkel over a shipwreck, and visit a gorgeous beach!

5. Charter a boatIn this review of Split I have used the term “best in the” a number of times. This is not hyperbole.
