Hidden Gems of Dalmatian Coast: Split

2 min

Lying in the heart of the Dalmatian coast, the city of Split is one of the Adriatic Sea’s destinations that have enchanted travelers for more than a millennium. Here you can walk in an emperor’s footsteps while discovering Roman Emperor Diocletian’s summer palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, visit the St Duje, a 4th-century cathedral featuring an Imperial Roman mausoleum and bell tower but also the intriguingly rich Jewish heritage that lies concealed within the palace walls of the city center – in the narrow alleys you will find one of Europe’s oldest synagogues.

Immerse yourself in the ancient atmosphere of the old town center, home to fashionable boutiques, galleries, and cafés or wander the city’s spectacular waterfront and shade yourself under the palm trees and enjoy a glass of wine and delicious local cuisine like black cuttlefish risotto, a traditional Croatian dish that’s made with cuttlefish ink.

Split is home to sandy and pebbly beaches, and during your stay, make sure you visit Bacvice, the most popular beach which takes about a 20-minute walk from Split Kastelet. If you don’t feel like swimming, Bacvice has beachfront bars too where you can sit and relax in a shade.

Aboard our privately owned, 50-passenger small ship luxury designed and constructed for a small group of travelers you will not only discover the Dalmatian Coast’s iconic city of Split but also travel off the beaten path to smaller ports, like Stari Grad, Bol, and Vis.

So, join us on a journey that will linger in your memory like a gentle Adriatic breeze.
