The town of Hvar on the homonymous island attracts many visitors because of its exceptional beauty and numerous historical monuments, some of them very interesting and valuable. The 17th-century Theater (among the oldest ones in Europe), the Arsenal dating from the 13th – 14th century, its picturesque squares and streets, as well as the Franciscan Monastery – famous for its collection of valuable paintings of old masters, the best known among them being the ”Last Supper” by Ingoli, are only a part of sights worth seeing. Early in the afternoon we continue our hydrofoil sail up to the highest island in the Adriatic Sea – Brac, also the third largest Adriatic island, for a visit to a picturesque little town called Bol.

Split has been a starting point for exploring Croatia, especially Adriatic coast for as long as I can remember, probably a lot longer than that. This is due to it’s geographic position combined with the fact that most vacationers come to Croatia to have some peace and quiet and to enjoy Croatia’s unspoiled beauty. These pleasures are hidden in smaller, more remote Croatian tourist destinations.
People coming to the Adriatic coast for their vacation often land at Split airport and just than decide to look for a way to transfer to their final destination. It’s a mistake to land at Split airport unprepared, that is without having organized a transfer to your final destination in advance. With tourism being one of the primary means of income on the Croatian Adriatic coast, don’t be surprised if you find prices for any travel related service higher that usual, especially during the high season. Same goes for the taxi transfers or any other kind of ground transportation. The smart thing or better yet the big money saving tip is to plan everything in advance.
Split airport is an international airport with direct and connected flights from all over Europe. There are numerous direct flights to Split airport but most arrivals are through connected flights from Zagreb Airport.
Split airport is also called Kastela airport because it is actually located in Kastela (Kastel Stafilic). Even though it is based in Kastela it is referred to as Split airport because Split is biggest destination on Adriatic coast and most people who are flying to Split airport are looking to transfer to city of Split when they land.

What’s there to say about Split climate? I think the fact that roman emperor Diocletian build Diocletian’s palace in Split as his “summer house” say’s enough. He had half the world to choose from and yet he decided to build his summer residence there. Through centuries climate in Split was extremely pleasant and Split was and is one of the sunniest Mediterranean destinations due to it’s exceptionally convenient geographical position. The winter in Split is mild except when cold northern wind called “bora” (NE wind) blows. Then it is better to stay inside and keep warm. This condition doesn’t occur very often however. I would say that during the year maybe one month is really cold (that is around 3 to 7 degrees Celsius) which is nothing compared to most of European or Mediterranean cities.
