About Split Riviera

The city of Split started its life as a Greek settlement and expanded when the Roman emperor Diocletian ordered that a retirement residence be built in 295 AD. Split grew from there, hosting a wide variety of conquerors over the years and becoming a top tourist destination in the 20th century. 

Best Time To Visit Split Riviera

Many people say that the summer months are the best time to visit Croatia, and if you’re looking for really hot weather then you’ll probably enjoy Split the most if you visit between June and August. However, to avoid excessive crowds but still get the chance to enjoy very warm and dry weather, we recommend that you visit at the start of autumn in either September or October.
