Flights to Split: Budget Guide
Split is Croatia's coastal hub — Diocletian's Palace, Adriatic sunsets, and the ferry launch point for Hvar, Brač, and Vis. At $75–95/day it's not cheap, but it's the cheapest way into the Dalmatian Islands.

At $75–95/day, Split is Western European pricing on the Adriatic. Dorms run $35, a local konoba lunch is $12, and the ferry to Hvar costs $8. Not budget-friendly, but manageable if you eat local. More in our budget beaches Croatia guide.
