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. One of the largest ports in the Adriatic, Split
is not only the capital of Dalmatia, but also its cultural and touristic centre.
Split is easily accessible on the new motorway from Zagreb, as well as by train
or by air. Half an hour’s ride on the passenger ferry will take you to the
island, while the car ferry takes about fifty minutes.
