Port of Split Transfers Shuttles

Practically at the heart of Croatia’s massive city of Split, the Port of Split offers cruise attendees the opportunity to reach downtown with just a short drive toward the central region. Look forward to the city’s many beaches, plazas and parks by taking advantage of its many modes of public transportation, looking forward to relaxing rides toward the Adriatic Islands from one of dozens of ships departing Split Ferry Terminal, or utilizing the Split Railway Station for transfers to the north side and other distant villages. Those looking to bring adventures close to the cruise port should reserve a private vehicle for intimate travels instead, arriving to ornate downtown palaces as much as quiet hills in the distance via sedan, van or SUV, meet-and-greet services adding to the excitement through convenient drop offs ranging from hidden beach recommendations by local personal drivers to world-renowned restaurant arrivals through the elegance of a chauffeured limousine.

Home to a signature Mediterranean style of architecture that calls for stacked cement buildings and narrow alleyways, Split offers instant access to beautiful prehistoric locations, from the old ruins of Diocletian’s Palace to the still-functioning Roman promenade of shops, restaurants and alley cats across the Antiche Mura Romane (Italian for Ancient Roman Walls). Various art exhibits also make up the town’s central Josipa Jurja Strossmayera Park, from the European works at the Museum of Fine Art to the more modest Croatian focus at Galerija Umjetnina. Move onto bigger things by ending the rest of the day at Marjan Forest Park, an all-in-one oasis of beaches, hidden cove lookouts and old landmarks ideal for watching sunset change form - especially worthwhile spots include the observation views from Vidikovac (Bosnian for ‘Lookout’), while ‘Jug’ offers glimpses of the sea shrouded in evergreen. Before returning to the cruise ship, grab dinner at the popular Joe’s Beach Lounge & Bar, a no-frills hangout along the park’s connected Kasjuni Beach and offering the perfect last-minute meeting spot for a memorable conversation.
