Central Dalmatia<br />

entral Dalmatia has it all – a large, vibrant city with a Mediterranean<br />

C swagger, a wealth of historic towns, <strong>and</strong> some of the country’s most<br />

popular isl<strong>and</strong>s. The city in question, Split, is Croatia’s second biggest, after<br />

Zagreb. It’s also the nation’s busiest ferry hub, making it a great base for<br />

exploring the likes of lavender-infused Hvar, Bra, famous for the marble which<br />

helped build the White House, <strong>and</strong> remote Vis, many Croats’ favourite Adriatic<br />

isl<strong>and</strong>. Traces of the various civilizations that have swept through the region<br />

emerge colourfully, with epic Roman remnants like Diocletian’s Palace in Split<br />

<strong>and</strong> the ruined town of Salona, while the Venetian empire too has left its mark,<br />

on Trogir, Hvar <strong>and</strong> Vis. With an increasing number of flights into Split, <strong>and</strong><br />

the br<strong>and</strong> new motorway linking it to Zagreb <strong>and</strong><br />

the European road network, this scenically stunning<br />

corner of Croatia seems on an inexorable rise.<br />
