As there are three different options, you can even combine them and take one route option when going to Krka waterfalls, and other route option back to Split.
Trogir & Primošten
If you like Split, you will also be in love with Trogir. This over 2200 years old island town is located 25 km from Split. UNESCO listed it as World Heritage Site so it takes first place on a list for one day trips from Split. Combined with another small island town Primošten you can experience true Mediterranean spirit.
No matter which town you want to visit first, the best option is to choose coastal road from Split. Primošten is located 60km from Split and town of Trogir is somewhere on the halfway of the route. This means you can spend first half of the day enjoying Primošten beaches and the other half you can explore Trogir's old town and its stunning promenade.
Omiš & Cetina River
