In summer there's a possibility of transport by small ship which sails from Split directly to Splitska.

The village has numerous amenities for holidays including restaurants, shops, tennis courts, and a post office.

The village was settled by Romans to mine stones which were used to construct the Diocletian Palace[5] and many other buildings throughout Europe.

In 1577 Mihovil Cerinić, a Dalmatian nobleman from the village of Škrip, erected a citadel in the centre of Splitska.

His intent had been to use it as a fortress against the impending waves of Ottoman Turks that swept across Brač in that era.
