SPLITSKA

> back to island map

The quiet village of Splitska offers the perfect destination for holidaygoers looking to get away from the rigours of city life. Spread around the two bays of Zastup and Splitskarska the surrounding area offers numerous pine tree-lined coves in which to relax by the sea.

The village has its origins in medieval times when it was used to transport Brac stone to the mainland. However the frequent attacks by pirates from Omis forced the inhabitants to take refuge in the inland fortress at Skrip. It wasn’t until the 16th century that the erection of a fortress on the waterfront afforded enough protection to allow the inhabitants to settle permanently. This fortress still stands today next to the church of St. Maria and it forms the focal point of the village.

During the day the old Splitska – Postira road provides the perfect setting for a long walk or bike ride. On the way you will find the little bay of Gabova where you can take a break from the afternoon sun and enjoy a swim. There are plenty of quiet venues for an afternoon drink or for an evening meal down by the harbour and for a more lively nightlife you will find many late-night restaurants and discos in the neighbouring towns of Postira (2.5km) and Supetar (5km).
