Thanks again for the wonderful and informative site! I’ve been looking around to book a transfer from Split airport to Okrug Gornji, but the quotes I’m getting are much higher than the examples you give in this post. The quotes I got from different transfer companies range from 28 euros to 45 euros one way for 1-4 people. This is pretty much the price range you said is to go to Split city center, and more than twice of what you say a taxi should cost from airport to Trogir. Considering Trogir/Ciovo is a about a third of the distance to Split, I don’t understand why it’s so expensive to get a transfer.. Have prices more than doubled in the past year, or are the tranfer companies just trying to rip off silly tourists?
Hi Elena,
I forgot to put that in my post, for short distances taxi is almost always the cheaper options
Why are the transfer companies so expensive? Well most of them are based in Split so when you order a transfer from Trogir to Okrug Gornji, they first have to go to the Airport and then wait there for you, taking into consideration that your plain could be late, then they have to do the transfer and drive back to Split, based on this I think their prices are quite realistic and for sure not a rip off, simply pure cost calculation.
Morten
Thanks Morten! I will just try getting a taxi from the airport then. I’ve found in other holiday destinations that booking transfer in advance was usually cheaper than hopping into a taxi, but I guess Croatia is different. Thanks again for your help!
Elena,
your are welcome, let me know what you paid, when you are back.
brgds, Morten
Hi. Can you help me to find a transfer from Split ariport to Baska Voda ? I have tried to find it out on the internet. Is any public transfer to Baska Voda or is it only taxi ?
Thank you,
Olina
Norway
Hi Olina
well you basically have 3 options!
1. Take the Airport bus from Split Airport to Split city center, from here you have 300 meters to main bus station where buses leaving for Baska Voda – cost of trip, 30 kuna for Airport bus + app. 50 kuna from Split to Baska Voda.
2. Take a taxi – i am not sure about price but i would guess something like 600-800 Kuna (100 Euro)
3. book a private airport transfer, where the company has driver waiting for you in the Airport, is cheaper then taxi, but of course much more expensive then the bus.
Hope that helps you a bit

Hello,
I wrote that but nr 37 is going from Split tot Okrug Gornji. Het also stops at the airport Split?
Hope to hear from you, thanks, Joanna
Hi Joanna,
was that a question? if so? yes bus number 37 also stop in front of Airport Split.
Morten
Sorry, something went wrong. Bursnr 37 also stops in Okrug Gornji as well as at Split Airport. Is this correct?
thanks again. Joanna
Hi Joanna, no as far as i am aware of, Bus nr 37 does not go to Okrug Gornji on island Ciovo, but there is a bus going from Trogir to Ciovo, but i dont know the number.
Brgds, Morten
There is no direct bus from Split airport to Okrug Gornji, at least there wasn’t one last August. So you can either take the Bus 37 to Trogir bus station and then make your way to Okrug Gornji or you take a taxi from the airport straight away. The bus between Trogir bus station and Okrug Gornji is very infrequent, it goes about once every 2-3 hours, so you may have to wait for a long time. You can take a boat from Trogir old town to Ciovo island, which goes more frequently, but convinience of this depends on whether your accomodation is close to the boat stop or not. If you’re thinking of taking a bus to Trogir and then a taxi over to Okrug Gornji, it’s not worth it – I tried that last August and was charged 200 kuna for what was less than a 10 minute drive. And it’s the same price you’d be charged for the whole way from the airpot to Okrug Gornji. It’s a rip off, but because it’s quite difficult to get to Okrug Gornji by public transport (with suitcases, etc), the taxi drivers take advantage of it.
I am traveling to Malena hotel and apartments by I think Senget outside Trogir. I was told there is a bus that goes from the airport past this location. Can you confirm this and any idea of the cost?
Hi Pete, i am not sure if number 37 goes to Seget, but worst case you will have to change bus in Trogir. cost should not be much more then 20 kuna as trip is fairly short
Morten
Hello,
I will be coming to Split Airport and I am staying at the Villa Pinocchio. Which is little far from the airport. Is there any transportation that I can use beside the taxi services.
Villa Pinocchio is located on Grljevacka 26 21312 Podstrana.
If someone can help me with this. I would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Chirayu
@Chirayu
You can take airport bus into Split, in Split you would then have to change to Local bus in direction Omis, alternativly you can pre book a transfer to Podstrna

Hi,
I am arriving at Split airport & need to find out how i would get to Split bus Station where i am catching a bus to Dubrovnik from the airport?
Thanks
Alan
Hi Alan, just take the airport bus to the centre of Split, from there you have 300-400 by foot along the water, to the main bus station, where you find the busses leaving for Dubrovnik.
Brgds, Morten
Hi Morten,
Thanks for that. Would that be bus no 37?
Thanks
Alan
Hi Alan, bus number 37 is on option, but there is an actual airport bus, which wait just autoside the terminal, that is then one i would recommend. Number 37 is a local bus stopping on main road in front of airport, and what is important to notice is that bus number 37 has end station in Split quit far away from the main bus station.
Hi Morten,
Great thanks i will take your advice. Much appreciated.
Hi Morten,
I’m arriving in split at 9am on a Thursday and i’m looking for the airport bus timetable. Do you know how often they run? Is it every hour or more?
Also, is the drop off point far from Preradovicevo setaliste? As that is where i’m staying.
Hi Mat, i dont remember exatly when it runs but i think it is by arrival of Croatia airlines plain. i would guess about every second hour or so.
As far as i can see you are staying at Bacvice which is about 15 minutes walk from drop off point.

Morten
Hi Morten,
We will arrive Split Airport on Saturday 16/7 around 12:30 and we will stay in Trogir Rivieran.
Can we take bus 37 all the way?
and if we take the airport bus into split I suppose we have to shift bus in split to get to Trogir Rivieran? what bus no?
And finally – what will a taxi cost in Eur?
Thanks!
Karin
Hi Karin, from Airport you can take number 37 to bus station in Trogir (center). (No need to Split first)
Taxi to Trogir centre should be around 100 kuna (13 Euro)
Best, Morten
Hi Morten
Sorry if this seems like a blonde question
I was just wondering with the airport transfer bus is for people only flying on Croatian Airlines? I notice that you’ve put a contact number if people are flying on other airlines, do I need to ring and book a seat? I’m arriving on a Malev Airlines flight.
Are you able to tell me the street name where the bus stops in Split? I’m just trying to work out how to get from there to my hotel
Thank you very much
Leisa
Hi Leisa, you can also go with bus is you travel with other airlines, but the schedule is normally addapted to arrival of Croatian airlines flights. You do not need to reserve, in fact you can not reserve a seat on the bus.
The Airport bus stops at the end of the Riva in Split, which is straight in the centre. if you have a look at the at the map in this nightlife guide, the bus stops by the taxi stand (the right one)
Morten
Hi Morten,
I came to Croatia 3 years ago, please can you refresh my memory.
When i arrive at Split airport I need to take a bus to the ferry to can catch one to the Island of Brac, which bus do i take and how long will it take plus cost. Also, when returning my flight is at 10.30am, will the earlier ferry plus bus get me to the airport in time .
Hi Nicole,
from the airport you take the airport bus to Split centre, price 30 kuna / person – travelling time app. 30 minutes.
I think you shold be able to catch the early bus, but check when you get out in Split what time it departures in the morning.
Morten
Hi there,
My fiancee and I will be landing at Split Airport at around 10am on thursday morning (18th). We don’t want to pay private transfer prices, but instead would like to use public transport. I believe we can get the 37 bus from outside the airport for 20 Kuna each, which takes us to Split Bus Station. My question is what to do next? Can you please tell me what bus route takes us from Split to Omis? And also if we need to pre-order tickets? We’ve read in a few books that it’s advisable to reserve seats, is this true? Do you know how much it will cost to get from Split to Omis?
We will try to speak as much of the language as possible, but I have to admit my knowledge is not great. Is it easy enough for an englishman to get around? Do the bus drivers speak english generally?
Thank you for your assistance.
Kind regards, Liam
Hi Leam
The bus to Omis is number 60, you can not reserve tickets, so i dont know who gave you that advice?
you should get along fine with English.
Morten
Hi Morten,
We are arriving to the Split airport on the 15th of September. Could you please give us detail information about how it would be better to get Baska Voda using public tranport (there will be five of us – 4 aduls + child). And how much time it will take?
Could you also give us the price guidance on bus tickets?
Thanks in advance,
Inna
Hi Inna,
first you take airport bus to Split Riva, (Centre of town) 30 kuna Person, from there you walk direction ferry terminal (You cant miss it) 100 meter before ferry terminal you see a lot of bus on your left hand side. Bus to Baska Voda will be leaving from here, there should be plenty of departure, i am not sure of about price, but my guess would be around 50 kuna a Person
Best, Morten
Hi Morten,
Thank you for your reply. Thank you for this site and for you assistance in arranging of peoples’ trips to Croatia.
I have one more question. Visiting Croatia I would also like to take a one day trip to Italy by ferry.
Would it be possible to go there (any place) from Split or Baska Voda? Or I should go to Porec first and then to Venice only?
Best regards,
Inna
Hi Inna, you are welcome
in relation to visiting Italy, i think only options would be from Porec, although i am not 100% sure.
From Split it would only be possible if you take night ferry from Split to Ancona, i think it arrives there about 7 Am, the returning Catamaran (SNAV) leaves about noon from Ancona, so it will be a lot of travelling for a few hours stay.
Best, Morten
