Solta island, ecological paradise

According to its land area, Solta belongs to the medium sized group of Adriatic islands. However, judging it by its natural endowments, it is certainly amongst the most beautiful. It is merely 16km, or 9 nautical miles from Split, with its 60km of coastline interspersed with four harbors and 24 bays, it offers the visitor quick approach and a safe, pleasant stay.

Taking advantage of modern fast boats, one can reach the island within 15 to 20 minutes. The island’s harbors and bays have a capacity to accommodate some thousand boats, while the numerous natural beaches offer sufficient space for many more swimmers.
