How long does it take

Drive Times

Split airport (SPU)

~50 km · 50–60 min
The fastest route is the coast road south, then the A1 highway eastbound to Šestanovac.

Split (old town)

~50 km · 45 min
A1 east to the Šestanovac exit. Diocletian's Palace, the Riva and ferry port are about the same distance.

Makarska

~30 km · 35 min
South over the Biokovo foothills, then down to the Riviera coast.

Brela & Baška Voda

~25 km · 30 min
The closest "famous" beaches — Punta Rata in Brela is a Forbes-listed beauty.

Imotski (Blue & Red Lakes)

~40 km · 40 min
East into the karst country — two of the most dramatic sinkhole lakes in Europe.

Dubrovnik

~185 km · 2 h 45 min
A long day trip down the coast — viable for a single sunny day, magical at sunset.

Step by step

From Split Airport in Six Steps

01
Out of the airport
Pick up your rental car. Head east toward Split on the D409 → D8 coast road, or via the A1 highway through the airport-side ramp.
02
Onto the A1 highway
Join the A1 eastbound, in the direction of Dubrovnik / Ploče. The highway runs along the foot of the Mosor and Biokovo mountains — a beautiful drive in its own right.
03
Exit at Šestanovac
After roughly 30 km on the A1, take the Šestanovac exit. Pay the toll, then follow signs toward Šestanovac village.
04
Through Šestanovac
Drive through the village. You'll pass Tommy and Studenac grocery stores, a pharmacy, the medical first-aid station — useful to know exists, never useful to actually need.
05
On to Kreševo
A short drive west along Radobiljska cesta brings you into Kreševo Polje — the karst valley spreading out below the village. The river Cetina runs along the southern edge.
06
Arrive at Madrino
Follow Maja's pin and photos for the last turn. On-site parking for several cars. The gate opens onto the front yard — kids straight onto the playground, you straight onto the porch.
Practical

A few things worth knowing

✦
Bring a car. Madrino is in a village — public transport exists but is sparse. A rental from Split airport gives you the freedom the location is built around.
✦
Parking is free. Several spaces on-site, no street-parking headaches. EV charging from the house is available — small per-hour fee, let us know in advance.
✦
Tolls on the A1. The Split airport → Šestanovac stretch is tolled — keep about €5 in change handy, or use a contactless card.
✦
Groceries before you arrive. Šestanovac has Tommy and Studenac, both five minutes from the house. Stock up on the way in — pasta, wine, olive oil, fresh bread, whatever feels Croatian.
✦
Mobile signal. Strong 4G/5G in the valley. Wi-Fi at the house, of course — Maja will share the password on arrival.
✦
Driving routes from Brač, Hvar, etc. If you're arriving from an island, the Makarska ferry brings you the closest. Then it's the coast road north, turning inland just before Brela.
