5/2-Split, Croatia





5/2-Split, Croatia was a great port, a combination of historical architecture, interesting shopping, a beautiful seaside promenade, good (and cheap) coffee, and free restrooms. We had a great day of just strolling the neighborhoods as well as the tourist area, which included the Roman emperor Diocletian's palace, built in 295 AD. Originally, the entire medieval city was located within the palace walls, until the population outgrew its confines. Around the palace there are several pedestrian squares with shops, restaurants, and outdoor cafes. The Croation people were very friendly and accomodating, and weather was perfect. After three days onboard ship in Venice we will be returning once again to Split, and look forward to continuing our exploration of the city.
