You step off the stone alleys of Old Varos and the city exhales behind you — sea-scented wind pulling you onto Marjan's shaded trails. Pine roots grip the path; the Adriatic flashes between olive trees as you rise toward Telegrin, the hill's 178‑meter crown that opens Split like a map.

Grip the stone steps
Wear shoes with good traction — many trails are limestone with worn stone staircases where footing can be slick.
Hydrate early and often
Carry at least 1–2 liters per person, especially in summer when shade is intermittent.
Visit at golden hours
Start early morning or late afternoon for cooler temps, softer light and quieter viewpoints like Telegrin.
Respect cliff edges
Keep to marked paths near Sustipan and the west cliffs; shallow karst can crumble at the margins.
Grippy trail shoes
Sticky soles and ankle support make limestone steps and roots manageable.
1–2 L hydration (bottle or bladder)
Sun and coastal wind dehydrate quickly on exposed sections.
summer
Sun protection (hat, SPF)
Open viewpoints around Telegrin offer little shade at midday.
summer
Light wind shell or layer
Coastal breezes can be cool in spring/fall, best to have a packable layer.
