Day Tour 
Today,
after breakfast at the hotel, we will be met and set out to enjoy a

Trogir. Trogir has a fascinating
2300 years of continuous urban tradition. Its rich culture was created
under the influence of old Greeks, Romans, and Venetians. We will tour
Trogir's treasure trove of sites with our expert guide, and have ample
time to shop, roam the market, and stroll this lovely town's sunny
'riva' before we return to Split.
Upon
arrival in Split, we will begin our private walking tour and get a
glimpse of this city's 17-century long history. We'll study
Diocletian’s Palace from within... a truly jaw-dropping royal
residence, massive in both
building size and in square-block size. Feeling a natural sense of
smallness, we learn about this palace and observe the great wealth of
historic monuments within. Then we head to a casual group lunch at a
local pivnica. We'll be returned to the hotel this afternoon with
remainder of the day free at your leisure.

seaside restaurant serving a unbelievably delicious, 5 star lunch of

After lunch, take some time to enjoy swimming or sunbathing on the
famous beach called Zlatni Rat (Golden Promontory) and walking the
'beach path' and chatting with local artisans selling their creations.
The Zlatni Rat beach reaches out into the sea and creates an ever
changing, wild, beachscape, and is surrounded by dense pine woods in
the background. It has been voted one of the world's top 5 beaches...
