Travel Tip
Swim Off the Rocks
The bottom is rock and shingle rather than sand, which keeps the water clear all season. Locals swim off the concrete platforms at Kolovare and the rock slabs past Diklo; bring swim shoes and watch the ladder on the way out.

Hiring a car in Split
Compare the local operators on one screen. Worth knowing before you book: the Old Town is pedestrian and the lots outside it fill by mid morning in August, so most visitors hire for the days they leave the city rather than the whole stay.

Common Questions
May to mid-June and September to October are the sweet spots: warm enough to swim, cool enough to walk the peninsula without melting, and rooms cost noticeably less. July and August run past 30 degrees with the year's biggest crowds on Kalelarga and the Riva.
A morning covers it properly. The peninsula is about six hundred metres across, so the forum, St Donatus, the cathedral, Five Wells Square and the market are all within a short walk of each other. Add the bell tower climb and a long coffee on Kalelarga and you have filled a day.
The airport sits at Zemunik, about nine kilometres south east. The shuttle bus meets flights and reaches the city in around twenty five minutes; taxis, Uber and pre-booked transfers reach Old Town accommodation in fifteen to twenty minutes and the Borik hotels in about twenty five.
No. The Old Town is entirely pedestrian and no vehicle reaches most doors. Parking sits on the mainland side, is charged by zone and fills by mid morning in summer, so visitors staying inside the walls usually park at the harbour quay or the covered garage and walk in.
Calls run from spring into November and berth at Gazenica, three kilometres south east of the peninsula, with passengers reaching the walls by shuttle or taxi from mid morning. The forum and the Riva are heaviest from about ten until mid afternoon; early morning and evening stay calm.
For a half day, yes. The crossing takes twenty minutes as a foot passenger and costs a few euros, and the island gives you olive groves, quiet harbours and the view back at Split from the fort above Preko. Take a bicycle if you can; the ferry carries them for very little.
