     Split

     Arrive 08:00 · Depart 18:00

     A Croatian port on the Dalmatian coast, built quite literally inside the walls of a Roman emperor's retirement palace. Diocletian's Palace still forms the living old town, its cellars and courtyards woven through with cafes, shops and the cathedral.
