Split-Dalmatia is a county within Dalmatia in Croatia, with Split itself the attractive main city. It's one of the most popular tourist regions in the country, with a riviera strip of resorts strung along its coast. Inland rise the rugged limestone Biokovo Mountains, and towards the south these press in upon the coast, rising sharply from the sea. Their detached ridges also form islands in the Adriatic: these are many km long, with a ferry port at each end so you can use them as stepping-stones across the region.
Highway 8 runs south down the coast from Split through Omiš to Makarska, with buses at least hourly. Beyond Makarska they're less frequent, but at least four a day run via Ploče to Dubrovnik.
