Znjan is a larger beach area southeast of the centre, with wider promenades and more open space than the compact Old Town. It suits beach holidays and families wanting a resort-style stay by the sea, with a bus ride or drive into the historic core.
The area is built around an extensive stretch of beach and seafront promenade, offering more room to spread out, swim and stroll than the central bays. It's calmer and more spacious than the Old Town, geared toward relaxed seaside days rather than nightlife or sightseeing on the doorstep.
Getting around
The Old Town and Diocletian's Palace are a short bus ride or drive west, roughly 4 km away, and Split (SPU) is about 25 km away by car, taxi or ride-hail; having a car makes this base considerably easier.
