Hotels near Bol Airport
Bol
13-14 km from the airport, 20-25 minutes by car or taxi along the mountain road that comes down from Veliko Žedno; since there's no direct public transport from the airport, almost all accommodations arrange a private transfer on request.
Best for: Travellers who want the harbour, Bol's beaches and Zlatni Rat on foot or with a short walk, without evenings out in Split's nightlife.
- Harbour, promenade and most of Bol's restaurants are within walking distance of accommodations in the centre
- Zlatni Rat, the island's most photographed beach, is 10-15 minutes away on foot or with the little tourist train
- The airport has few flights, mostly seasonal charters: for many routes the ferry from Split is still the better option
- Outside the old centre Bol is hilly, with some climbs that are tough going with luggage
