Podstrana is the long seaside stretch just south of Split, between Stobreč and Omiš. From the airport it's about 27 km and around 30 minutes by car, because the road bypasses the city centre instead of going through it.
How much is a taxi to Podstrana?
A metered taxi from the airport rank is priced by distance and traffic, so the final price is only known when you arrive. A private transfer with us is fixed before you land: around €60 in a car for up to 4 and around €85 in a van for up to 8, per vehicle. That includes tolls, fuel, meet & greet in arrivals and child seats on request. Book a return trip together and you get 5% off both ways. See how our Split Airport taxi service works.
The exact price depends on where in Podstrana you're staying, the area is almost ten kilometres long, and shows instantly in the booking form.
Is there a bus?
Local buses from Split run along the coast through Podstrana, but there's no direct connection from the airport. You would take the shuttle into Split first, then a local bus back out: usually well over an hour with a change, and not practical with suitcases.
Hotels in Podstrana
Podstrana is home to some of the largest resort hotels near Split, including Le Méridien Lav. Drivers know the hotel entrances and drop you at reception, not on the main road. If you're in a private apartment, the side streets down to the sea can be narrow and steep. Put your exact address in the booking and we'll confirm the best drop-off point.
Staying in Podstrana, visiting Split
Podstrana is a good base: quieter than Split, with long beaches, and only 15–20 minutes from the old town. Local buses run to Split regularly. For an evening out, a taxi back is easy to find in Split, but agree the price first.
