Split
Dalmatian lifestyle revolves around a bougainvillea adorned terrace and their sea. Lingering lunches, abundant amounts of fish, deep olive groves, bountiful vineyards, midnight swims, and many an espresso are the bona fide norm. Any Dalmatian will proudly attest that their sole priority is to enjoy life. And they should. The men charm and the women break hearts. These are passionate people and logic does not need a place when one lives amongst such fantasy.
SPLIT HIGHLIGHTS
Tourism happened to Split. Split had its easygoing lifestyle, working properly as a normal city and then, one day a cruiser shipped in and everything changed. Still stunned by tourism, Split yet has to develop its full tourist potential. Number one attraction in Split is Diocletian's Palace which is preserved to some point, but still great monument to a great Roman emperor! If you are looking to do some shopping, you won't find a better city on Adriatic coast to spend your hard earned money!
