First impressions came early on as we were teetering over the cluster of islands before we got into Split. Beautiful blue Adriatic waters surrounding different shaped islands.  30 minute bus ride out of the airport which took me to the busy harbour. Then a 15 minute coastal walk to my accommodation… ideally located in the old part of the town near the Theatre.

Split is a busy, young, vibrant place which holds the key to a lot of history going back to when Croatia was Yugoslavia! It certainly isn’t short of fine eateries either and has numerous bakeries and ice cream bars.

Several flights of steps and slopes later I found myself taking in the stunning views of Split from a very strategically placed bar …. enjoy the views!
