This is the 'scenic side' for the arrival into Split. Most flights approach from the islands or parallel to the coast; sit here to see the famous turquoise water and island archipelagos. Late afternoon flights provide a stunning golden glow over the Adriatic, though you should bring sunglasses to manage the glare.
