After breakfast, enjoy a private walking tour of Split, exploring the Mediterranean spirit of the old town inside Diocletian’s palace.
There's no single must-see attraction here; it is a question of taking time to wander the narrow, tunnel-like streets where stone houses and narrow streets are a perfect blend of the glorious past and the challenging present. Its charm is hard to resist.

A playful chain of 21 woody isles, dipped in a clear, azure sea, a few resorts and swimming areas, and a number of little, hidden away beaches, stone terraces facing the sun, and beautiful deserted lagoons make these islands a paradise on earth.
