Green line: from the Split waterfront towards Dalmatinska zagora

These days, on the initiative of the Tourist Board of the Split-Dalmatia County, and with the support of the tourism sector, the "Green Line" started for the first time.

The tourist bus line departs every day until November at 12 o'clock from the Split waterfront towards Dalmatinska zagora. The first stopping point is Dugopolje, the Visitor Center, which will also be the starting point for excursions around the Dalmatian Zagora. 

The visitor center "Hidden Dalmacija" in Dugopolje will greatly contribute to the dispersion of tourism in Dalmatian Zagora. It is an educational, multimedia and interpretation center with the addition of educational trails and schools in nature. 

"With us, visitors will be able to get all the information about the destination, after which it will be easier to decide what they want to see in this area. The 'Dalmatinska zagora - Split hinterland' cluster will also contribute to this, which will have its own space here. There will also be informative center where travel agencies will be able to advertise with all their offers from gastronomy to adventure to religious and historical tours", explains the head of the Visitor Center, Marko Antonije Bitanga.

After the Visitor Center, the "Green Line" continues through Klis and the ethno-agro park Stella Croatica and returns to the ancient Salona.

"It is crucial that by offering new original content, we bring guests to the gates of the Cetinje krajina and give the opportunity to travel agencies to host guests there, be it bicycles, quad bikes or vans, and to take them for five to six hours to see Dalmatian Zagora Guests will thus have the opportunity to learn about the comparative advantages of the Zagorje part of our county, which offers a number of opportunities to enrich their stay, especially in the preseason and postseason." he says Ivana Vladović, director of the Split-Dalmatia County Tourist Board.

Although it has only just started operating, the line has already recorded excellent daily occupancy since the beginning of April, and the price of such an excursion is 20 euros, while a promotional 10 euros should be set aside for a tour of the three museums on the route of the line, which will certainly be an incentive for visitors to get to know each other more closely. natural, historical and cultural attributes of Dalmatian Zagora.
