Split-Dalmatia County

Summer on the Croatian Adriatic coast this year is attracting a fair selection of the international jet set and sports stars. Most have been heading for the island of Hvar and Dubrovnik, resorts that combine culture, cuisine, beaches and nightlife.

European Coastal Airlines, based in Zagreb and owned by German entrepreneur Klaus Dieter Martin, will launch seaplane flights from Split to Pula and the islands of Rab and Hvar next month.
