Bačvice Beach
Bačvice, Split, Croatia
Bačvice is Split's most popular city beach — a shallow, sandy cove east of the old town that is the spiritual home of picigin, a unique ball game played in knee-deep water that has been a Split tradition since the 1920s and was added to Croatia's list of intangible cultural heritage.
Brac Island (Day Trip)
Braće Ivandić, Promajna, 21320, Croatia
Brač is the largest island in central Dalmatia — a 395-square-kilometre island of limestone, olive groves, and pine forest reached by ferry from Split in under an hour, whose most famous attraction is Zlatni Rat ('Golden Horn'), a 634-metre pebbly spit that extends from the southern coast of Bol like a curved knife and changes shape with the wind.

Krka National Park (Day Trip)
Krka National Park, Šibenik-Knin County

Marjan Hill
Park-šuma Marjan, Split

Vidilica Viewpoint
Nazorov prilaz, Varoš, Split, 21000, Croatia
