Split

Split is a historical, coastal city in Croatia. The beach at Bacvice is popular with local residents, and tends to be very busy in the summer months. The city is a popular starting point for chartered sailing trips, with the majority operating from ACI marina Split.

There are plenty of accommodation options in the city. On arrival at the bus station or ferry terminal, there will often be people waiting there to offer cut-price accommodation, even late at night. These are generally safe and can be much cheaper than standard accommodation.

Trains run between Split, Zagreb, and Perkovic. Detailed timetables can be found on the Croatian Railways website or elsewhere on Grounded Travel.

A host of ferry services depart from Split to the nearby Croatian islands of Brac and Hvar.
