We already wrote about the city of Split and its beauties on our blog, and you can read more about its sights and beauties here. What we haven't written about yet are the day trips from Split that we would recommend considering that they are beautiful locations that are located close enough to make the most of the day. Depending on how adventurous you are, you can choose between more peaceful excursions or choose one with a dose of adrenaline.

We present the 5 most popular excursions from Split below.

1. KRKNJASI - BLUE LAGOON

The indented Trogir archipelago is a paradise for sailors, and it is full of many beautiful bays that you can explore and enjoy the untouched nature and unreal blue sea. The most beautiful islands in front of Trogir are Drvenik Veliki and Drvenik Mali, which offer untouched paradise coves and beaches. The most popular place on Drvenik is the Krknjasi cove, or more popularly known as the "Blue Lagoon", which captivates with the turquoise color of the sea, its cleanliness and the overall impression of untouched nature. KrknjasI Bay is located between two islands and has the color of the sea of tropical areas. A trip to Krknjaše is a trip for rest, swimming, sunbathing, swimming and diving. Many excursion boats offer tours of the Krknjasi cove departing from Split, and we definitely recommend that you visit this heavenly cove and rest your body and soul in these Mediterranean tropics.

2. KRKA NATIONAL PARK

The Krka National Park and its waterfalls are a well-known sight all over the world thanks to the wealth of water, beautiful colors, and the rich flora that adorns it. A trip to the Krka waterfalls departing from Split is one of the most popular trips. While you are staying in some of our villas in Split, set aside a day for this trip and spend it surrounded by greenery and the Krka River, where you can also swim in the designated area. The river is always refreshing because the water temperature is lower than the sea, so refreshment after visiting the park is guaranteed. In the park, in addition to walking, you can ride bicycles, see Skradinski buk, Roski waterfall and visit the islet of Visovac. You can read more about Krka National Park on our blog.

3. BLUE CAVE AND HVAR ISLAND

A full-day excursion from Split is an excursion to the island of Hvar, which is always combined with the Blue Cave. Hvar is the most famous Croatian island itself and has the highest number of sunny hours a year. It is the island that attracts visitors with its rich cultural and gastronomic offer, and it is often the destination chosen by many famous celebrities such as actors, singers and athletes. The blue cave is located not far from Hvar, on the islet of Bisevo. This tiny islet became known all over the world for its natural phenomenon and major tourist attraction - the Blue Cave. It is unique in that it lets the sun's rays through an opening located below sea level, and the rays reflecting off the white bottom create an enchanting blue color. This fantastic effect attracts many visitors every year. It is located in Balun bay, on the eastern side of the island.

4. OMIS ZIPLINE

The Dalmatian karst relief is home to numerous rivers and beautiful landscapes created by cutting their course, one of which is the Cetina river. The town of Omis is located an hour's drive from Split, and the most attractive activity is the zipline. The Omis zipline is located in the Cetina river canyon, 3 km from Omis. It consists of eight 8 cables with a total length of 2.1 km at 150 m above sea level. It offers a view of the river Cetina, the canyon and the hinterland of Omis. The trip lasts a total of two hours. We definitely recommend this excursion for all lovers of adrenaline and nature. Apart from the Zipline in Omis, there are other locations in Dalmatia that you can check out on our zipline blog.

The Cetina River is not only home to the zipline, but also to rafting. Rafting takes place on a 12 km long section of the river. Rafting lasts between 3 and 4 hours. The start is in the village of Pensici, and the trail passes through picturesque cuts, playful waterfalls and rapids and ends in Radmanov Mlinice. There you can take a break and enjoy the natural environment, which, with its fresh air and specific relief, is so different from the nearby Adriatic coast.
