| Review by Sanna Rauhala from London
Split is the center of Dalmatia, one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean, the city is 1700 years old.
Split is not only an urban, curtular and traffic centre of Dalmatia with road and sea connections to Dalmatia`s numerous summer resorts, but it is itself often a tourist and excursionist`s destination.
The city at the foot of Marjan can be reached by The Adriatic Coastal Road, winding by the sea or by hinterland roads connected to Split. It will take you 5 hours to get to Zagreb and 4 hours to get to Dubrovnik in your car. You can also reach Split if you get on a coast ferry liner from Rijeka or Dubrovnik, from all central Dalmatian islands. There are excellent fast and regular ferry lines from Ancona and Pescara, Italy. From the Airport Split flights connect the city with Zagreb several times a day, as well as with European capitals. There are also trains from Split to the north of the country and further on to Europe. You can transport your car by train, as well.
Review by Ruzica Sumich from Portoroz
Split - it is situated in the warmest area of the northern Mediterranean coast, in the mere centre of the Adriatic coast and in the immediate nearness of the rivers of Jadro and Žrnovnica.
Without hiding their pride, the people of Split will tell you that their city is "the most beautiful one in the world and beyond". You´d better not discuss this with them for well spirited Split will convince you in this as soon as you discover it! This forever young city with the population of about 300,000 that give it its warm Mediterranean temper, has lived its urban rhythm for as long as 1700 years, with its heart in the Diocletian´s Palace and its soul widespread to embrace you. Ever since the life of the city protected by the UNESCO and entered into the register of the World Cultural Heritage has been writing the history of this unique capital of Dalmatia.
Beaches: concrete, rocky, pebbled. The most famous is Bačvice beach, having the blue flag in its possession granting the high sea quality, clean offshore zone, sport and recreational contents and the presence of the rescue service.
Climate: Its mild climate, with 2700 sunny hours per year, makes it an oasis where, sheltered from the wind, one can enjoy the sun even in wintertime.
