Traveler advice
Getting around
The best is to use Uber or public bus
Uber is cheap and convenient. For buses in Split download application Promet Split where you can buy tickets and check bus lines and schedules. Taxi can be expensive, try to avoid that.

Language
Most locals speak english, be free to ask for informations.
Book before you go
Catamaran
Book boat trip to Hvar, Bol, Vis online the day before departure.
What to pack
Clothes
Bring mostly summer clothes from June till October, maybe some light jacket on top just in case.
Ways to save
Saves
Eat where locals eat, try to avoid restaurants in the palace, they are overpriced
