Split the largest town on the Croatian Adriatic
Split is the largest city on Croatia's coast and the most important link to the islands of Central Dalmatia (the islands of Brač, Hvar, Šolta and Vis).The historic center of Split developed around Diocletian's palace (AD 305) which was included on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites in 1979. The palace’s architecture combines the features of the imperial palace and Roman military camp and is considered as one of the best preserved monuments of Late Antiquity.
Places to see
Considering that its more than 16 centuries old, parts of the palace are remarkably well preserved, and the old town is centered around it. In addition to the palace, the Croatian Archaeology Museum and the studio of sculptor Ivan Mestrovic are worth a visit. Not far from the old Roman center of town, the waterfront promenade known as the Riva has lots of restaurants and shops. There's a popular cultural festival here each summer that has concerts, plays, and live theater.
Beaches
Split is well-known for its thriving nightlife. Bacvice beach has many clubs and bars. Live music and outdoor events including free festivals often take place in Split during the summer months.
Other sites worth seeing
Delve into the rich history of Split by visiting the Town Museum, which explains the origins of Croatia. Travelers walking back to their Split hostel after a visit to the museum may find they have gained a better understanding of the city's heritage.
The Archaeological Museum, containing Roman and early Christian artifacts, also provides a fascinating insight into Split's past.
Islands
No one should come to this part of Croatia without seeing the beautiful islands which dot the coast line. There is a ferry central service from Split so why not enquire about the possibility of taking car hire Split on this ferry. Small islands like Hvar are easily navigable by car and are truly spectacular. It is also possible to go to the Italian cities of Ancona and Pescara by ferry and the companies SEM Marina and Split Tours are worth checking out.
Marjan Hill
Marjan Hill, Split's "green soul" forested park in close vicinity, guests enjoy leisure strolls absorbing all the majestic beauty the city has to offer.
Yachting in Split
The reason why so many people come here to enjoy a round of sailing is because Croatia and Split happens to be one of the best yacht charter locations in the Mediterranean, with perfect conditions that include calm waters, lots of sunshine (one of the sunniest places actually), predictable winds, plenty of anchoring points and very beautiful landscape, most of which is wild.More sailing info: www.ayachtchartersplit.com
