Krka Waterfalls & Scenic Coastal Road Day Tour from Split

As we pass below Klis Fortress, you’ll notice its strategic position on a narrow mountain pass between the coast and the inland. This fortress has played a key defensive role for centuries, controlling the main route between Dalmatia and the interior. It is especially known for its importance during the Ottoman wars, when it served as a stronghold against invasions. Today, it is also recognized as a filming location for the city of Meereen in the TV series Game of Thrones, which added to its international popularity.

Krka National Park is a natural paradise that offers guests a range of stunning sights. From the charming town of Skradin to the magnificent waterfalls of Skradinski Buk, visitors will be immersed in the park's beauty. The walking paths lead through lush greenery, revealing traditional mills and an ethnographic museum that showcase the park's cultural heritage. Guests can also swim in the crystal-clear river and encounter diverse flora and fauna. The park's landscapes are simply breathtaking, making it an unforgettable experience for all who visit. We have 1h 20 min driving to Krka waterfalls.

After visiting Nacionalni park Krka, we head to Skradin, a small riverside town located at the entrance of the Krka river. Here, you will have free time for lunch, with several local restaurants offering fresh seafood, traditional Dalmatian dishes, and a relaxed atmosphere by the water. Skradin is known for its slow pace, marina views, and authentic setting, making it an ideal stop to unwind before continuing the scenic coastal drive.

Primošten is a small coastal town known for its distinctive old town built on a former island, now connected to the mainland. Surrounded by clear waters and stone houses, it offers a compact but very photogenic setting, ideal for a short walk, relaxed atmosphere, and coastal views. The area is also famous for its traditional vineyards, recognized as part of the local cultural landscape.

Gospa od Loreta is a hilltop viewpoint overlooking Primošten and the Adriatic coastline. Located above the town, it offers wide panoramic views of the sea, nearby islands, and the surrounding landscape. It is one of the best spots in the area for photos, especially due to its elevated position and unobstructed perspective.

As we pass by Trogir, you’ll see one of the best-preserved medieval towns on the Adriatic coast. The historic center, located on a small island between the mainland and Čiovo, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its narrow stone streets, Romanesque and Renaissance architecture, and waterfront promenade. While we don’t stop here during this tour, Trogir is definitely worth visiting separately if you have additional time in the region.
