Departure: Split Riva / passenger port
The ferry from Split to Bol leaves from Split Riva / passenger port, in Split - Split is Croatia's Dalmatian port city, built around the Roman Diocletian's Palace, and the ferry gateway to the central islands. Foot passengers should be at the port 45 to 60 minutes before departure, earlier on international crossings where passports are checked. Getting there: The airport shuttle bus takes about 45 minutes to the main bus station near the port and suits a single traveller staying in the centre; a private car is faster and simpler for Trogir, Omiš, Makarska, island ferry connections or a family with luggage.
- Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Split Riva / passenger port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing
- Haqqi Tours provides a private transfer from your hotel in Split to the port on request
