Split is a very touristy city, but
still worth visiting; but a warning would have been nice. Split is a hub
for cruise ships and bus travel so during the day it is filled with
people from cruise ships and people staying in town. I think if we
were to visit again, we would visit more islands in the area via
ferries during the day and enjoy the quieter evenings in Split. For
this, the ferries work well as their prices were relatively
inexpensive. Getting to one of the islands (Solta) was only about $6
USD for about an hour's ride.
The beaches near the Marjan were nice
and not too crowded. There aren't really long stretches of beach but
instead access to the water is broken up into different areas. It
works out so you can choose the area you want to hang out in (more
shade or deeper water or stretches of large rocks to sunbathe on). Note: The walk to this area takes about 20-30 minutes and there is not a lot of shade.
Like
the rest of Croatia, getting an apartment (apartman) in Split
was pretty common. They tend to cost less than a hotel room and we
were able to rent a small studio apartment for about 50€
per night which seemed to be the going rate for a studio or one
bedroom.
