Go for a wine and cheese tasting, for instance in the Library Jazz Bar Marcus Marulus. Sample local produce from Croatia and Bosnia in 15th century atmosphere surrounded by about 1,000 books. The bar is located in front of the City Museum in Old Town.

Try the Dalmatian cuisine that contains lots of seafood but also very hearty dishes like roasted lamb.

Watch dolphins or sea turtles. Do water sports like diving, snorkeling, fishing, water ski, wakeboarding, kayaking and many more. Or hire a bike and cycle around the area. In Split you have plenty to do and explore, so go ahead and soak up the beauty of this amazing Dalmatian city.

Which ones are the best yacht charter escapes from Split?

When you do sailing or motor yacht hire in Split, there are numerous very attractive destinations you can visit within a day´s excursion. Here are a few examples:

The lovely city of Trogir is only about 8 nm away and you can just as easily sail to Ciovo, an island just off the coast from Trogir. Go to Drvenik, or Solta with the beach resort town Maslinica. Both islands are only about 10 nm from Split.

Head to Brac with the beautiful Zlatni Rat beach that features on so many postcards and enjoy gorgeous Lucica Bay with its amazing turquoise water. Visit the villages of Bol and Milna. Buy some local olive oil and sheep cheese or try the lamb that is the local speciality dish.

Anchor and swim in the breathtakingly beautiful Stivina Bay on Vis Island, ca. 27 nm from Split. Go to Ravnik, a mini island just south of Vis. Well worth visiting there is the so-called Green Cave, it is very large and you can enter by boat. Then there is the close-by neighbour island Bisevo with the amazing Blue Cave for which you need tickets to enter. Snorkel in the Blue Lagoon of Budikovac Island, also just south of Vis. The island is inhabited by only one person all through the year.

Cruise to lively Hvar Town with its Venetian palaces and charming streets and squares. Visit Hvar Fortress. Head over to the Paklinski archipelago off the south-west coast of Hvar. It lies opposite the entrance of Hvar harbour. The name is derived from the pine resin that used to be harvested there and employed to coat the boats. It is a 10 km long chain of islands with a very indented coastline, providing numerous coves for anchoring, snorkeling and fishing, for instance, beautiful Palmizana Bay.

Korcula, about 32 nm from Split, and its gorgeous old town with nice souvenir shops and galleries is calling.

Then there is the Lastovo Archipelago Nature Park, south of Korcula, with absolutely stunningly pure, untouched nature.
