Split-Dalmatia County

A county in central Dalmatia, Croatia, famous for Diocletian's Palace in Split, the old town of Trogir and islands such as Hvar.

Split-Dalmatia County lies on the central Adriatic coast of Croatia and is one of the country's most popular tourist regions. The old town of the capital, Split, is built within the ancient Roman Diocletian's Palace, and nearby Trogir is also a World Heritage Site; offshore, the island of Hvar is known for its lavender fields and nightlife, Brač has the Golden Horn beach, and Vis is quieter still. Along the coast you will also find the Makarska Riviera and the Omiš Gorge. June–September is beach season, while May and October bring fewer crowds and pleasant weather. Split has an international airport and a ferry port.
