Croatia - Split is a city with Mediterranean
character that is visible at every step of the way through when you walk along
Riva adorned with palm trees, park-forest Marjan, the narrow streets inside Diocletian's Palace, or around it but most of
the Mediterranean character is visible in its temperamental people, including
many internationally successful and world wide famous athletes, who has brought
many Olympic and World medals (Goran Ivanisevic, Toni Kukoc, Dino Rada, Durdica
Bjedov, Mario Ancic, Deni Lusic, Igor Boraska brothers Skelin, Blanka Vlasic...).
This 1700 year old city grew around the palace of Roman
emperor Diocletian which is now a monument of cultural heritage and it is under
the protection of UNESCO. Many accommodation facilities such as Hotels, Apartments and Rooms that we rent as a Travel agency are located
within the walls of the palace or in its immediate vicinity. Cultural life and
entertainment in Split
is especially rich during the summer months when there are traditional festivals
such as Summer of Split, Split Festival, as well as many folk
performances and folk festivals.
