Split

Located right on the Adriatic coast, Split is the second biggest city in Croatia. The biggest in Dalmatia. It has history dating back to Ancient Greece, and more visibly, Ancient Rome. The city is centered around Diocletian’s Palace, an expansive retirement palace built by the Roman emperor at the turn of the 4th century. Today, the palace is a UNESCO World Heritage site and very much a living monument, home to many of Split’s best restaurants, cafés and shops. Many visitors pass by Split on the way to the many islands accessible by its busy port without truly getting to experience all that this beautiful and historic city has to offer. There is nothing quite like getting lost within the labyrinth of ancient walls and finding the perfect café to sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in the laid-back culture of Dalmatia. PS: While often upstaged by its southern neighbor, Dubrovnik, Split too has been a filming site for Game of Thrones.

Marjan Hill

Marjan Hill sits at the end of the penninsula of Split. Covered by dense Mediterranean vegetation, the hill serves an expansive recreational park with beaches, trails, museums and the occasional ancient church. I have spent an entire day exploring Marjan, but even if you only have a couple hours, you can still get a beautiful dose of nature. Take a short hike up to Cafe Bar Vidilica to stare at the beautiful city over coffee or continue up for another 20 minutes to the peak where you can take in views of the coast and the islands, especially breathtaking during the sunset.
