Split is the largest city in Dalmatia, second largest city in Croatia and it is placed around 130 km from Pakoštane. If you take motorway A1, you can be in Split for one and a half hour. However, we would recommend to rather take Magistrala for longer but much more beautiful journey. Then you can take a break at Primošten or Trogir, also beautiful small towns/places on the coast.
The story of Split is already 17 centuries old, dating to the time the Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to build his Palace right on the peninsula near the great Roman city Salona, where he wanted to spend the last years of his life. During these 1700 years the Palace slowly turned into a city, which to this day lures with its rich tradition, glorious history and beauty of its natural and cultural heritage.
