- Walk along the coastal path to Postira (approx. 45 minutes); the route gives great views and small swimming coves.

Splitska is located in a deep, forested bay on the north coast of Brač island. The village has a fascinating history: in antiquity, it served as a port for transporting the famous white Brač stone used for the construction of Diocletian's Palace in Split. Near the village, the ancient quarries of Rasohe can still be found today, where a relief of Hercules carved directly into the rock by Roman stonemasons can be admired. The village landscape is characterized by grand Renaissance houses and an elegant waterfront promenade. The most prominent building is the Church of St. Mary in the village center. Splitska is known for its tranquility and is a well-suited place for guests wanting to escape the hustle of larger tourist centers. Nearby bays offer secluded swimming spots under pine trees. Culinary-wise, Splitska pampers its visitors with lamb specialties typical of Brač island, along with excellent wine and olive oil. A walk to neighboring Postira or a hike through olive groves in the hinterland provides wonderful views of the Brač channel and the Biokovo mountain massif on the mainland.
