Travel Adventures: Split, Croatia

So after Greece, we moved off to Croatia, which I have absolutely and completely fallen in love with! While there, we did a student 'party-boat' type thing, called Sail Croatia, which was an absolute blast and such an amazing week. It was so fun to see so many amazing cities all the while living on a little boat and meeting lots of new people. I highly recommend  Sail Croatia to anyone even vaguely keen, it is just so much fun and Croatia is stunning- I did the Split to Debrovnik navigator cruise. We were in Croatia for a total of 8 nights, and saw quite a few different cities, the first of which was Split. 

Split is one of the biggest cities on this coast and is very touristy and commercial, but really stunning. It has a massive, beautiful promenade along the whole length for a couple of kilometres and has pretty little benches and flower beds and trees all around. The promenade also is lined with loads of restaurants serving delicious seafood and cocktails to sip on by the water's front. Another must-see in Split is the Diocletian's Palace. Split is composed of the old town, which revolves around the ruins of this palace, and then the surrounding newer town, which is quite built up and residential. Old town is build almost entirely of white stone and is filled with local markets, authentic shops and delicious gelato stands on every corner. The actual palace ruins are definitely worth seeing, and you go underground into what was the basement level and can wander around and read up on the history. My favourite part of split was just wandering around through all the narrow alleyways in the old town, going up to the ball tower and learning all about the history. 

Split was really so so lovely and I would love to go back someday!
