How to get to MedILS?

The Mediterranean Institute for Life Sciences is situated in a wonderful, yet hidden location, so that we provide below some useful information about how to get there:

Route to MedILS from the Split Airport

All the information on reaching Split by air can be found on the Croatia Airlines website and, presumably, on many other air carriers’ websites; here, you will find only the info about how to reach MedILS once you’ve arrived at the airport. The Split Airport is located in Divulje, between Trogir and Kaštela, around 25 kilometers from the Split centre. Croatia Airlines provides a bus directly from the airport exit station to the main bus station in Split, the ticket price being HRK 30 (approximately EUR 4). Taxi is also available, as well as a local bus line Trogir-Split.

If you are driving from the airport, follow the signposts for Split. Once you approach Split there are two options: one to go straight, and the other to make right turn to the Split-Center. Take the right turn to Split-Center. Follow this road down two traffic lights and make a right turn at the third light. (To the right of the third traffic light there is a building named Slobodna Dalmacija). Once you make this turn drive all the way down until you come to a tunnel.On the way to tunnel you will move past the football stadium Poljud. Go through the tunnel and continue straight until you come to a T-intersection where you will take a right turn again. Drive down the road for about 1 kilometer. The Institute is located on your left side, on a downhill driveway with a security gate.

At the highway Zagreb-Split take Exit Split, Dugopolje. After the exit follow the follow the signposts for Split. Once close to Split, take the first of two entry points marked Split Center - Industrial Zone. (The road will bend to the right). Follow this road down two traffic lights and make a right turn at the third light. (To the right of the third traffic light there is a building named Slobodna Dalmacija). Once you make this turn drive all the way down until you come to a tunnel.On the way to tunnel you will move past the football stadium Poljud. Go through the tunnel and continue straight until you come to a T-intersection where you will take a right turn again. Drive down the road for about 1 kilometer.

Route to MedILS from the Split Main Bus Station

The Main Bus Station is located in the eastern part of the Split ferry harbour, so that the instructions below also apply to visitors reaching Split by sea. The taxi service is available at two locations: one right next to the bus station and the other on the western part of the harbour, immediately next to the St. Francis Church; we encourage you to take a 5-minute walk to the other side. Why? There are three good reasons:
1. taxis are much cheaper if you take them there; you would pay around HRK 50-60;

2. there is another bus stop and the local line number 12 would lead you straight to the Institute, the ticket price in Split being HRK 9;
3. the Split harbour is really a wonderful sight.
