Croatia - Split,Trogir,Malačka

My name is Damian, I had the opportunity to visit Croatia several times. For this reason, I decided that my first blog post would be about Split and what to see in and around Split.

 Little Bit About Split

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia, after the capital city Zagreb, however, it is the largest city in the Dalmatia region. From ruins dating back to the roman empire to a stunning seaside promenade lined with palms, packed with bars and restaurants. It is a perfect destination for anyone who would like to relax in the Croatia sunshine and history of this beautiful city. 

Things To Do/See In Split

Split - The Riva

This promenade runs along the southern part of Split, along its harbor. The long, lively promenade is lined with palm trees that can be admired against the backdrop of the harbor while sitting and drinking coffee or tea on one of the nearby benches. Filled with great restaurants and nice cafes that let you enjoy a cup of popular Croatian coffee or a glass of cold local beer, wine with an amazing view of the Adriatic Sea. It is a popular meeting place during the day, but also at night when the promenade is amazingly illuminated. 

- Diocletian's Palace - 

It is probably one of the most popular attractions in Split and well worth seeing. Considered one of the most impressive Roman ruins, this ancient palace built in the 4th century for the Roman emperor Diocletian contains a military camp, the Golden Gate, and the villa where the Roman emperor Diocletian retired. The palace is located in the Old Town, which is very popular for its well-preserved Renaissance architecture that allows visitors to have centuries of history intersecting before their eyes. Game of Thrones fans knows this place very well, as the Game of Thrones scenes were filmed in this stunning location.

- Kozjak / Malačka - 

To the north, the Kaštela Bay is surrounded by the mountains Kozjak, Opor and Trečanica, which gently descend towards the sea. About 27 km from Split is Kozjak, which has one of the tourist spots worth visiting and from which you can see all of Croatia along the Adriatic Sea.

 In the past, caravan routes led through Mount Kozjak. Currently, in Kozjak and the surrounding mountains of Kaštelanska Zagora, there is about 80 km of marked mountain routes, which are very pleasant for recreational mountain trips. The rock cliffs of Kozjak are known for their mountaineering climbing directions (near the "Malačka" mountain shelter), which are not very heavy and you can also climb here for recreational purposes.
