Villas in Dragovode

About Dragovode

Listings under the name Dragovode are mapped around Split, Croatia's second-largest city with 160,577 residents in 2021, rather than in one small village, and they spread over about 11 kilometres. The homes are mostly modest: two bedrooms for around four, nearly all air-conditioned, many with a garden and a minority with a pool. Split grew up around Diocletian's Palace, completed in 305 CE, and the historic core has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. The Riva is the main pedestrian street, and Marjan, a wooded hill of 178 metres on the western side of the peninsula, is the city's favourite walk. Split's port is a gateway to the islands and one of the busiest passenger ports in the Mediterranean, so a day on the water is easy to arrange.

Croatia Airlines flies from Heathrow all year, and several other airlines add seasonal London flights. With homes this spread out, a car is the easiest way to reach each address.

When to go to Dragovode

Split has hot, moderately dry summers and mild, wet winters, and the northern bura wind can make winter days feel cold. Most London flights are seasonal, so winter links are thinner, though Croatia Airlines keeps its Heathrow route all year. Summer is the time for island days.
