SPLIT, CROATIA – IDEAL START TO ADRIATIC YACHT CHARTER
The dramatic Dalmatian Coastline of Croatia is more than 200 miles long and strewn with hundreds of islands, many uninhabited and unspoiled. The yachting center of Split is not only a great place to start your Adriatic charter but is also an excellent city to visit.
The UNESCO protected DIOCLETIAN PALACE in Split’s old town is one of the most impressive cultural monuments in Europe. 
After exploring the medieval city, be sure to visit MARJAM HILL, easily reached by stone steps from the Riva. From above you can admire the splendid views of the city and port. Stop and enjoy a coffee at the cafe VIDILICA. A visit Mestrovic Gallery near KASTELET BAY on southern slope of MARJAM HILL is also a must. 
Split has many great restaurants , but locals recommend the newly trendy VELI VAROS district, where two charming Dalmatian restaurants, VAROS and SPERUN, serve excellent fresh cuisine. Later, explore the maze of pedestrian streets founded by farmhands and fishermen in the late 17th century.
My Croatian friends tell me that Split is known in the former Yugoslavia area as town with the most beautiful women… Ladies, you will not believe how many shoe stores there are in Split!
