Why Fly to Split, Croatia?

Split Airport (SPU) has seasonal US connections and strong European links. Most US travelers connect via London, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam. From Split you can take ferries to Hvar (1h), Brač (50 min), and Vis (2.5h) islands, visit the Plitvice Lakes National Park (2.5h inland), and drive the Makarska Riviera to Dubrovnik (3h south).

Diocletian’s Palace (UNESCO)
Diocletian’s Palace — built 295–305 AD as retirement quarters for the Roman Emperor Diocletian — is one of the world’s most remarkable ancient monuments: a palace-city where 3,000 residents still live within the Roman walls, their homes, restaurants, and bars occupying the corridors, vestibules, and even the mausoleum of an ancient emperor.
Hvar Island — Croatia’s Glamour Island
Hvar — 1 hour by catamaran from Split — is Croatia’s most fashionable island, with a medieval walled town of Venetian palaces, lavender fields in the interior, and some of the Adriatic’s most beautiful secluded coves accessible only by boat. The Hvar nightlife (Carpe Diem beach club) attracts a sophisticated European crowd.
Plitvice Lakes National Park (UNESCO)
The Plitvice Lakes — a UNESCO World Heritage cascade of 16 turquoise lakes connected by waterfalls in a forested canyon 2.5 hours from Split — are Croatia’s most spectacular natural attraction. The colour of the water changes through the day from emerald to sapphire depending on minerals, organisms, and light.
Brač & Zlatni Rat Beach
Brač Island — 50 minutes by ferry from Split — contains Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn): a distinctive triangular pebble spit that shifts direction with the current, ranked among the most beautiful beaches in Europe. The island’s quarries provided marble for Diocletian’s Palace and the White House.
Dalmatian Cuisine & Wine
Dalmatian food is among Croatia’s finest — grilled fish (brancin, orada), crni rižot (black squid-ink risotto), peka (lamb or veal slow-cooked under a bell), and the indigenous Plavac Mali red wine from the Pelješac peninsula define a Mediterranean cuisine of exceptional quality.

Fly into Split, Sail Out via Dubrovnik Open-Jaw

The classic Dalmatian Coast itinerary is fly into Split (SPU) and fly out of Dubrovnik (DBV) — or vice versa — on an open-jaw ticket.

Comparing SPU and DBV open-jaw fares from your US city often reveals significant savings.

Book July–August Ferries Well in Advance
