About Split

Split is Croatia's second-largest city and the main hub for exploring the Dalmatian islands. Built around the magnificent Diocletian's Palace - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - the city seamlessly blends ancient Roman architecture with modern Mediterranean life.

For visitors to Hvar, Split is typically the arrival point, with its international airport and main ferry terminal. While many rush through Split to reach the islands, the city deserves exploration in its own right.

Our private boat transfers offer the perfect way to travel between Split and Hvar - arriving in style while enjoying the stunning Dalmatian coastline views that ferry passengers miss.
