Short directions
To arrive in south Dalmatia by car from direction of central, east or north Europe, we recommend highway A1 which connects Zagreb with central Dalmatia. Highway is still under construction from Sestanovac (approximately 50 km southern of Split ) towards Dubrovnik, therefore you will have to exit on Sestanovac and continue to south Dalmatia by using Adriatic road.
Due to increased traffic on borders and highways during summer months there is possibility of short traffic jams.
