About Split
Welcome to Split – the central part of Dalmatia that is 1700 years old! The Roman Emperor Diocletian had a very good reason for building his palace in this very city, which has been confirmed by the numberof tourists that have visited the palace.
At the very entrance to the city is Salona, the largest archeological locality on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. Near the city is the Our Lady of Sinj shrine. There are plenty of excursions to takeadvantage of and wherever you go you can expect good restaurants where you can enjoy seafood specialties, proscuitto and a variety of
cheeses.
It is a well-known fact that people from Split love sports and as such, the city has produced many famous athletes including Goran Ivanisevic, Toni Kukoc or Slaven Bilic. Maybe this will inspire the athlete in you and you will take up tennis, scuba diving, swimming, bicycling or even rock climbing. Don’t have the necessary equipment? No problem, you can rent whatever you need. At night head out to a bar or disco or enjoy a theatre performance at the Split Summer Festival. Go to a concert or check out an exhibition as part of the cultural
festival. Capture memories of your visit to Split in a bottle of olive oil or a sprig of rosemary and they will always remind you of summer.
