Croatia in October - Visit Split during October

Regardless of the time of year you are visiting Split, our long-term itinerary will give you a general idea of places you should not miss while here. However, October is a month reserved for some unique activities, such as regattas. Live out your dream of sailing with either one of the many local sailing companies, or, if you have a sailing license, rent out your own boat and join a racing event.
The month begins with one of the oldest regattas in Croatia – the famous Mrduja regatta, named after the islet Mrduja, the turning point on the 22 km route Split – Mrduja – Split. It was first held all the way back in 1927, and ever since it is scheduled on the first weekend of October. The best spots for enjoying this inspiring event, unless you’re a part of it, of course, are two charming seaside hills in the Split city center – either Katalinić or Sustipan. There you’ll find crowds of people celebrating, watching the sailing race, and you are sure to make new local friends! If you miss this one, consider joining the Vis Regatta – the second oldest in Croatia – where you will sail to the incredible Vis island and live out your fantasies, surrounded by the crystal-clear Adriatic Sea.
