Split
 |
| The Riva, Split's seafront promenade, runs the length of the old town and is one of Europe's finest. |
 |
 |
| The Roman Emperor Diocletian chose this spot to build his lavish retirement palace in AD295. |
 |
| Today, despite centuries of additions, the palace remains the heartbeat of Split's old town; a unique mix of architecture in a maze of narrow streets. |
 |
| The palace was built from lustrous white stone from the island of Brač, and construction lasted 10 years. |
 |
| Peristyle was formerly the palace's central courtyard. All the main sights of the Split old town are a short walk from this beautiful square. |
 |
| Diocletian spared no expense, importing marble from Italy and Greece, and columns and sphinxes from Egypt. |
Krka National Park
 |
| The Krka park admission includes a boat ride from a pretty little riverside town of Skradin through the canyon to Skradinski Buk. |
 |
| Skradinski Buk's 800 meter long cascade descends by almost 46 meters before crashing into the lower lake, which is a popular swimming spot. |
 |
| Krka National Park is one of the most beautiful nature spots in Croatia. |
Kastela
 |
| Exceptional climate conditions in Dalmatian coast are very generous towards wine grapes that are exposed to sun almost 280 days a year. |
 |
| Dalmatian wines are, in general, stronger than wines in Croatian continental areas. They have specific taste that can not be compared with any other wine sorts. |
Trogir
 |
| The stunning Unesco-listed city of Trogir can be reached by ferry from Split. |
 |
| The ancient town of Tragurion (island of goats) was founded as a trading settlement by Greek colonists from the island of Vis in the 3rd century BC. |
 |
| Since 1997, the historic centre of Trogir has been included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. |
