But the island is more than just a collection of sleepy settlements. First mentioned by the Greeks as Olinta, for the majority of the of its past, Solta was a rich "province" of Split - regardless if it was the Roman Emperor Diocletian who had a "summer" residence here as well as a private fish farm (!), or the rich Cindro and Cipiko families. The island is currently famed for its olives, honey and red or white wine. The economy of the island is based on vineyards, olives, fruit, fishing and tourism. While the main villages ( Grohote, Srednje Selo, Gornje Selo, Donje Selo) are inland, the primary fishing centres are Maslinica. which is left open to only north-westerly winds, making it a excellent shelter for smaller ships.
