There is an absolute harmony between the compact brown-beige welter
of palaces, shambling streets of beautifully preserved Venetian
influenced medieval towns, and the exuberance of shouting market
stall owners, travelers on the move, waterfront restaurants with
a smell of fresh local fish from the grill, small cafes at every
corner, night clubs and avenues of the palm trees and olive plantations.
There is something that all of us are missing - the life
in its full intake.

Trogir
(8km away): Built by ancient Greeks in third century BC,
this antique and monumental city is spread like a fishnet between
the seventeenth century Land Gate on one, and the Town Gate that
leads to the seafront promenade, Riva. The thirteenth century Romanesque
Cathedral, fifteenth century Tower Lodgia, and Venetian Gothic mansion
Cipiko Place are just a few of Trogir s landmarks.
When the Tower Clock strikes dinner time, Alka, Kamerlengo, or Konoba
Fontana will start serving superb grilled fish and shellfish, Top
Balloon will smell on pizza, pasta and lasagna dishes, and Skrapa
s wooden benches |

will
be filled up early. As far as drinking is concerned, the town squares
are stuffed and the treys are full. When the Tower Clock strikes

Split
(35km away): So much to choose from The crumbling old town
which grew out of the former Roman Emperor Diocletian s palace in
295 AD remains the central arteries of the city. Cathedral of St.
Domnius, the fifteenth-century Town Hall, Franciscan Monastery with
its frescos, the Gallery of Ivan Mestrovic, country s most famous
sculptor, and utilitarian stone houses grouped tightly around narrow
alleys of Veli Varos, are all worth of a great wander.
The wooded heights of Marjan peninsula will command more of the spectacular
views over the coast and islands. The best place to start wandering
is Riva, the waterfront and everlasting promenade of the locals, |

in the Croatian National Theatre. Split Summer Festival runs from
mid-July to mid-August, and Fort Gripe is onlye among the numerous
spots for open-air pop concerts. |

National
park Krka (44 km away): In the intact surrounding only
12 km from Sibenik towards Knin, scraping the edges of limestone
rocks, the river Krka has formed the natural wander of 17 cascades
and waterfalls set between the sun and its water broken reflection.
Here everybody stays speechless and leaves with the everlasting
collection of photographs. |
