I am traveling with my family, which included 3 sons (13, 12 & 9), my parents and my husband. We are taking a Royal Caribbean Cruise, but we would like to spend a day on the beach. I have noticed some people are recommending Bacvice beach, could you please tell me how far it is from the cruise ship port and if we could get to the beach easily on our own? Also, is this the best beach you would recommend for the 7 of us?
Hi
Bacvice beach is only few hundred meters from ferry harbour, so it is no problem for you to get there.
Bacvice is one of most popular beaches in Split and one of the only sand beaches, which might also be the reason why it is always very crowded.
Anyway if you are only in Split one day I would absolute recommend you to go there, Split of course has other beaches, but they would be bit harder to reach for you on foot.
When you pass custom cleerence on the right side you will see big lighthouse.Just follow the car road next to rail and on the top is Bacvice.In the morning is not that croudy then you can return for lunch and shower to the ship around 12-00 and visit town until departure.beware sun light is very strong after 13-00 better be in shade
Seventeen hundred years ago, Split was marked on the map of the Roman Empire when the Emperor Diocletian chose to have his residential palace erected there. The palace erected inside natural bay of Adriatic, which is also protected by the line of islands in front of it. See closer look to the remains of the palace, it represents nucleus around which the town of Split has raised up.
Gregory of Nin was a 10th-century bishop who strongly opposed the Pope and official circles of the Church and introduced the Croatian language in the religious services after the Great Assembly in 926. This is a bit of who he was, but the reason for my bringing this tip is for the statue itself.
In front of the Golden Gate of the Diocletian's Palace, the statue was made by Ivan Meštroviæ in 1.929, however, it was originally located in the Peristyle of the Diocletian's Palace.
The real reason is that the statue was so imposing that it drew my attention very much.

This tip goes for you guys; the girls from Split are the most beautiful girls in whole Croatia. They are very tall, with very loooong legs and have a beautiful smile. The question is, how the make a contact with the girls? Usualy, most of the girls speak english, but also Italian, German and French. Just be original and you might have succes.
We took this ferry actually the other way round, ie from Supetar to Split. The journey took an hour or so and the cost for a pedestrian in September 2008 was 30 Kuna.
We found it amazing that this ferry was actually more expensive than the catamaran to Bol which was a longer journey in kilometers.
The cuisine of Dalmatia and the islands follows the trend of modern nutritionist recommendations. The food is mainly cooked or grilled, with plenty of fish, olive oil, vegetable and self-grown herbs found near the sea is why the cuisine is considered very healthy.
You can start with dalmatian brandy (either herb brandy or grape brandy), dalmatian prosciutto (wind-dried ham), sheep cheese, salted sardines, marinated fish or sea-food salads. The next course can be soup – either white fish soup or lamb soup. Then you can choose between fish and sea-food dishes, or meat dishes (barbecued lamb, “pasticada” (stewed beef or/and veal served with potato noodles)).
Do not miss local wines …. Red wines: the best known are Dingac, Postup, Faros, Babic, Bolski plavac, as well as many other sorts grown in privately owned vineyards and bottled in small wine-cellars. White wines are equally rich and good (Posip, Marastina, Grk, Bogdanusa, Vugava).
