Discover Solta Island


 

When: May to October
Duration: Evenings
From: Split. Program can run from Trogir and Šibenik as well at extra cost for transfers

 
Solta, “the island of olives” is one of the most beautiful in Croatia, known for its numerous beautiful bays, unspoiled natural environment, rocky coastline and charming rustic villages.  Just 45 minutes from Split by ferry, Solta has only a handful of villages--Grohote, in the center of the island, Maslinica, a fishing village, Rogac, the main ferry port, Necujam, a tourist village and Stomorska, a fishing village.  But with its 24 bays Solta is the first port of call for a growing number of yachts and charter boats; while its pristine nature, spectacular rocky beaches and rugged terrain draw legions of nature lovers from all over the world. Although there are far less olive trees than there were centuries ago, the island is still considered by many to produce Croatia’s finest olive oil.
