Split is a city in Central Dalmatia, Croatia. The city was originally built around the Diocletian palace (a palace/fort built for the retired Roman emperor Diocletian) where the locals sought refuge centuries ago. Despite initial appearances, however, the city is not a small tourist town, and extends over a large area well beyond the ancient core. With over 300,000 people in the wider bay area, it's the economic hub of the eastern Adriatic shoreline (the unofficial capital of Dalmatia). Wandering the historic centre of Split you can still clearly see the Roman walls, squares, and temples.
Because of its ideal climate, with 2,800 hours of sunlight each year, local people have a few nicknames for Split: The most beautiful city in the world and Mediterranean flower. Many famous Croatian sports people are born in Split, so locals often nicknamed their city as The sportiest city in the world. The most popular sport institution is the football club Hajduk. The whole city is painted with the club's colors and logo. This is done by Torcida, the oldest supporters group in Europe, established in 1950. Beside bell tower of St. Duje, the symbols of city are the Dalmatian dog and a donkey. Locals have a high place for the donkey because of its past indispensable place in field work and transport across Dalmatian mountains.
Split is much, much larger than other coastal towns (Rovinj, Pula, Zadar, Sibenik) and has modernized as the city has grown. If you're expecting the same charm as these cities and towns, you will be disappointed.
Winters in Split are generally mild, with temperatures above 0°C, but despite the popular saying that the city experiences snowfall once every 30 years, there is actually at least one snowy day nearly every winter, usually in January or early February. If you find yourself in Split on a day with significant snowfall, expect serious traffic disruption.
Central Split is quite compact and most sights can be easily seen and best experienced on foot, but there are frequent local buses to outlying attractions and the airport. Most of the city buses in Split are new AC and low floor. Tickets can be bought at kiosks or from the bus driver. Only single-journey tickets can be bought in buses at the driver. There are many companies that offer speedboat transfer/taxi service to nearby destinations; half-day, daily & weekly rentals; and guided excursions with a skipper.
The most famous local delicates is Soparnik. It originates from nearby Poljica region (formerly known as Poljička Republika or Republic of Poljica). It is a crepe-like dough filled with Swiss chard and onions and baked on fireplace. On top comes olive oil and garlic. You can find it on Pazar (green market).
Split and surrounding parts of Dalmatia have an extensive system of private accommodations where visitors can rent a room (Sobe) or an entire apartment (Apartman) from a local host. Some of these accommodations can be arranged ahead of time via booking sites on the internet, but most are arranged in person upon arrival.

To top it off, Split has a unique setting.

It's this thoroughly lived-in aspect of Split that means it will never be a fantasy land like Dubrovnik.

출발지인 아드리아해의 남쪽 끝으로 향하는 여정은 로마를 거쳐 크로아티아 수도인 자그레브를 경유해 긴 시간이 걸렸다. 아드리아 해에 신기루처럼 떠있는 두브로브니크 ‘지상의 낙원을 보고 싶다면 이곳으로 오라’고 극작가 ‘버나드 쇼‘는 말했다. 7세기에 형성된 이 작은 도시는 해상무역의 중심지로 명성을 떨치면서 막강한 부를 축적했다. 1806년 나폴레옹이 이 문을 통과하는 순간 공화국의 수명이 다한 역사적인 심장부, ‘필레 관문’이다. 광장에 들어서니 탁 트인 시야에 사람들의 웅성거림이 정겹다. 프랑스 서사시에 나오는 빨간 목도리를 두른 중세의 영웅, 롤랑 기사 조각상이다. 세계 각지에서 온 관광객들은 저마다 방문 스케줄을 짜기에 바쁘다. 나는 낯선 여행객들을 따라 시가지로 발길을 옮긴다. 크로아티아를 대표하는 극작가이자 문학가인 마린 드리지츠 동상과 마주했다. 그는 귀족이 아닌 사람도 사람대접을 받는 평등하고 자유로운 세상을 꿈꿨다고 한다. 이 도시의 상징인 렉터 궁전이다. 이 작은 공화국의 행정을 맡았던 최고 지도자의 집무실 겸 집이라고 한다. 통치자는 보수도 없고, 임기는 한달 정도로 짧은데 임기동안에는 궁 밖으로 나갈 수도 없다고 한다. ‘공적인 일에 전념하라’는 문구가 입구에 새겨져 있다고 한다. 광장까지 이어진 약 300미터의 플라차 대로를 지나 작은 골목의 속살을 들여다보기로 했다. 골목 안에선 다양한 풍경이 펼쳐진다. 손님들 또한 세계 도처에서 온 듯하다. 어느 기념품 가게 안으로 들어서니 주인이 손을 들어 반긴다. “가족 사업인데 이건 세라믹으로 만든 거예요. 도자기가 아니죠. 직접 손으로 만든 겁니다” 다양한 기념품들 사이로 친근한 글씨가 눈에 들어왔다. 아무래도 한국과의 인연이 상당한 듯하다. “한국 사람들 많이 와요. 한국 사람들과 찍은 사진이 이렇게 많이 있어요.”

The journey to the southern end of the Adriatic Sea, the starting point, took a long time via Rome and via the Croatian capital, Zagreb. If you want to see the paradise on earth, come here, said playwright Bernard Shaw, who is a mirage in the Adriatic Sea. Built in the 7th century, this small city has earned a reputation as a center of maritime trade and has accumulated tremendous wealth. At the moment when Napoleon passed this gate in 1806, the Republic's life span is at the heart of the historic 'Fleet Gate'. When you enter the square, you can see the bustle of people in a clear view. It is a medieval hero, a Roland Garon statue, with a red shawl in a French epic. Tourists from all over the world are busy scheduling visits. I travel to the city by following strangers. It faces Croatian dramatist and literary artist Marind Droitz. He says that even non - noble people dreamed of an equal and free world to be treated. It is the symbol of the city, Lector Palace. This is the office and house of the supreme leader who was in charge of the administration of this small republic. The ruler has no remuneration, and his term is as short as a month, but he can not go outside the office during his term. It is said that the phrase concentrate on public affairs is engraved on the entrance. We walked past the 300-meter-long Placa Boulevard leading up to the square and decided to look into the small alley. In the alley there are various landscapes. The guests also seem to come from all over the world. One of the souvenir shops inside the shop, the owner welcomes his hand. It's a family business, it's made of ceramic. It is not porcelain. It was made by hand. There was a familiar handwriting among the various souvenirs. It seems that the relationship with Korea is considerable. Koreans come a lot. There are so many pictures taken with Korean people.

Croatia, Europe's hottest destination -- Sail Croatia
There's good reason Croatia has risen to its seat as one of the hottest destinations in Europe. With 1,185 islands and 1,778 kms of coastline, Croatia is incredible!
The towns and cities of Croatia have plenty to offer as well. Split, the largest city in Dalmatia and the start of the South Route, has a history going back nearly two millennia. Split boasts a prolific literary tradition so you'll have a range of museums and galleries to choose from.
Dubrovnik is one of Croatia's southern-most cities and the starting point for many of our trips. George Bernard Shaw said of the town, If you want to see heaven on earth, come to Dubrovnik. He wasn't the last admirer of this beautiful town. The city has enjoyed a resurgence as of late thanks to the hit television series Game of Thrones, which shoots many of its episodes here. Dubrovnik was once one of the Italian Maritime Republics, and its wealth and beautiful structures of the old town are on par with those of Venice.
Makarska is a smaller town, but one of the best known on the coast. From here you'll be able to hop on our popular river rafting excursion, explore one of Croatia's most famous night clubs, housed entirely inside a cave and wind through the streets of this typical coastal Croatian town.
Every week we aim to also visit a variety of island towns like Hvar, Korcula, Vis and more. We'll explore the beautiful national park on the island of Mljet. Here you'll be able to unwind on a sun-kissed beach or go for a walk along the lush hillsides for breathtaking views of fertile vineyards and olive groves.
It's not all about the cities though - Croatia is home to beautiful natural bays, deserted islands and picturesque mountain ranges - all of which you'll have time to explore with Sail Croatia.

Croatia - USS Cape Race Arrives For RRF
T/I: 10:49:50
The United Nations rapid reaction force in the former Yugoslavia
is almost complete. The latest supplies arrived on Tuesday (8/8),
when a large American vessel, the USS Cape Race, arrived in the
Croatian port of Ploce, carrying vehicles and other equipment for
the British division of the force. English Major Jerry Bartlett
said the supply ship was the last scheduled to bring supplies for
the 24th Air Mobile Brigade. In Split, U.N. spokesman Colm Murphy
said on Tuesday that Croatian authorities may have stalled the
arrival of the supplies until they had completed their offensive
to retake Krajina. On Sunday (6/8) German troops arrived in Split,
and on Monday (7/8) numerous helicopters brought British troops to
Ploce. Six Puma and six Chinook helicopters of the RAF 24th Airmobile
Brigade left Britain on Tuesday, with plans to make a refuelling
stop in southern France.

Korcula 360° Panorama Video Croatia
Korčulais a Croatian island in the Adriatic Sea. It has an area of 279 km2 (108 sq mi); 46.8 km (29.1 mi) long and on average 7.8 km (4.8 mi) wide — and lies just off the Dalmatian coast. Its 15,522 inhabitants (2011) make it the second most populous Adriatic island after Krk and the most populous Croatian island not connected to the mainland by a bridge. The population are almost entirely ethnic Croats (95.74%). The island is twinned with Rothesay in Scotland.
Ancient history
According to legend, the island was founded by Trojan hero Antenor in the 12th century BC.
The island was first settled by Mesolithic and Neolithic peoples. There is archaeological evidence at the sites of Vela Spila (Big Cave)and at Jakas Cave near the village of Zrnovo. The findings at Vela Spila are on display at the Center for Culture in Vela Luka. The fate of these peoples is not known but the sites do provide a window into their way of life.
The second wave of human settlement was by Illyrians. It is believed that the Illyrians arrived in Balkans approximately 1000 BC. They were semi-nomadic tribal people living from agriculture. There are numerous old stone buildings and fortresses (gradine) left behind by the Illyrians.
Melaina Korkyra (Greek: Μέλαινα Κόρκυρα, Black Corcyra) was the ancient CnidianGreek colony founded on Korcula. Greek colonists from Corcyra (Corfu) formed a colony on the island in the 6th century B.C. The Greeks named it Black Corfu after their homeland and the dense pine-woods on the island. Greek artifacts, including carved marble tombstones can be found at the local Korčula town museum.
A stone inscription found in Lumbarda (Lumbarda Psephisma) and which is the oldest written stone monument in Croatia, records that Greek settlers from Issa (Vis) founded another colony on the island in the 3rd century BC. The two communities lived peacefully until the Illyrian Wars (220 BC to 219 BC) with the Romans.
The island became part of the Roman province of Illyricum after the Illyrian Wars. Roman migration followed and Roman citizens arrived on the island. Roman villas appeared through the territory of Korčula and there is evidence of an organised agricultural exploitation of the land. There are archaeological remains of Roman Junianum on the island and old church foundations.
In 10 AD Illyricum was split into two provinces, Pannonia and Dalmatia. Korčula became part of the ancient Roman province of Dalmatia.
Middle Ages
In the 6th century it came under Byzantinerule. The Great Migrations of the 6th and 7th centuries brought Croatian invasions into this region. Along the Dalmatian coast the Croatian peoples poured out of the interior and seized control of the area where the Neretva River enters the Adriatic, as well as the island of Korčula (Corcyra), which protects the river mouth. The Christianisation of the Croats began in the 9th century, but the early Croatian rural inhabitants of the island may well have fully accepted Christianity only later; in the early Middle Ages the Croatian population of the island was grouped with the pagan Narentines or Neretvians, who quickly learned maritime skills in this new environment and became known as pirates.
Initially, Venetian merchants were willing to pay an annual tribute to keep their shipping safe from the infamous Neretvian pirates of the Dalmatian coast. After the 9th century, the island was briefly under nominal Byzantinesuzerainty. In 998 the Principality of Pagania came under Venetian control. Doge Pietro II Orseolo launched a naval expedition along the coast and assumed the title Duke of Dalmatia. Afterwards Korčula came under the control of the Great Principality of Zahumlje.
In the 12th century Korčula was conquered by a Venetian nobleman, Pepone Zorzi, and incorporated briefly into the Venetian Republic. Around this time, the local Korčula rulers began to exercise diplomacy and legislate a town charter to secure the independence of the island, particularly with regard to internal affairs, given its powerful neighbors.
The brothers of Stephen Nemanja, Miroslav and Stracimir, launched an attack on the island on 10 August 1184, raiding its fertile western part. The island's inhabitants called for help from the Republic of Ragusa(Dubrovnik), which in turn captured all of Stracimir's galleys.
The Statute of Korčula was first drafted in 1214. It guaranteed the autonomy of the island, apart from her outside rulers: the Grand Principality of Raška, the semi-independent Great Principality of Zahumljeand the Republics of Ragusa and Venice. Captains were created for each of the island's five settlements for organized defence. Korčula had fewer than 2,500 inhabitants at that time.[citation needed]
In 1221, Pope Honorius III gave the island to the Princes of Krka (the Šubićs).

Our first stop was Queen Jelena Madijevka Park which has the distinction of being the oldest public park in Croatia. The park looks over the Land Gate which is the main entrance to the Old Town.
During the 16th century, the Venetians helped Zadar withstand the Turkish sieges by building a large water cistern with five wellheads, giving this square its name. These five wells were used to supply the city with water until the year 1838.
Among the ruins of the forum, you might notice there’s one particular Roman column that still stands intact. This one is called the shame post which during the Middle Ages was used to chain and humiliate people who had committed crimes.
The Church of St. Donatus sits in the middle of the Roman Forum and it dates back to the beginning of the 9th century. The church was built in the Byzantine-style in a circular shape - typical of the early medieval construction in Dalmatia. This church has seen many uses from warehouse to museum, but these days it hosts concerts.
Located right next to St. Donatus, the bell tower is actually part of St Anastasija's Cathedral. Climbing this Romanesque bell tower is not for the faint of heart, especially once you reach the spiralling metal staircase on the last floor, but if you make it, you are rewarded with views of the town and the marina.
The meal came to 32 Euros for two mains, two glasses or red wine, and two desserts. The truffle gnocchi was our favourite truffle dish in Croatia.
When it comes to sunset, there are quite a few spots to choose from. We really enjoyed the pier right across from the Roman Forum, however, the Sea Organ is another popular spot. If you do go to the Sea Organ for sunset, you can also check out the Greeting to the Sun, which is another unusual art installation.
This solar-powered work of art lights up in an array of colours once the sun goes down.
Lastly, we leave you with a few scenes of Zadar at night.
We hope you enjoyed this video and we’ll see you in the next one as we continue our travels in Croatia.

We have finally made it to one of my dream destinations. We're in Hvar, Croatia so and oh my it is beautiful. Today we have blue skies so we're just going to run around like crazy to show you guys Hvar.
As you probably already know, we never start sightseeing without a good meal, so the first item on our list was to find some breakfast. This proved to be a little tricky considering we were visiting during low season, but after a few false starts we settled down at BB Club for shakshuka, omelettes, nutella crepes and cappuccinos.
With bellies full, we were ready explore and our eyes were set on the fortress, which is the focal point when you gaze up from the Old Town.
Reaching the fortress means walking straight uphill, but there are a few scenic stops along the way, including a beautiful park, a seemingly abandoned church, and plenty of lookouts where you can admire the town and the harbour.
After visiting the fort, we came back to the Old Town and decided to go on a little walk along the waterfront. We hadn’t packed any bathing suits and it was too late in the season to go for a swim, but Audrey was set on testing out the turquoise waters.
Continuing our wander through Hvar Town without a particular place or direction in mind, we then came across a medieval Venetian bell tower that we had noticed peeking through the buildings. The bell tower is part of the Ruins of the Dominican Monastery and St. Mark's Church, and while the structure is closed off, it’s still a cool landmark to visit.
We went to KOGO which is located in the main square just footsteps from St. Stephen’s Cathedral. They specialize in pizzas and pastas, and everything was so tasty!
Lastly, to finish up our 1-day tour of Hvar Town, we walked back to the marina, this time heading left in the direction of the Franciscan Monastery, where we were treated to a magical sunset complete with live music.
