Šolta is a small island in Middle Dalmatia and certainly one of the greenest and most beautiful islands of the Croatian Adriatic. Not too big and not too small, Šolta is 19 km long and about three kilometres wide. Steep cliffs form the southern coast, pleasant coves in the north offer possibilities to swim, while the western parts are mostly made up of olive groves and vineyards, offering plenty of opportunities for hikes and places to visit. Šolta is about nine nautical miles away from Split, the capital of Dalmatia.
