Split is also very famous for its Dalmatian cuisine among which I must put a spotlight or “must try adjective” on the following dishes:
The open market “Pazar” is more than a shopping location, it is a vivid meeting point for the local people: the place to get the fresh groceries and to feel the heartbeat of the town regarding the latest news and happenings in the life of the city. Of course you can get a nice beach towel/souvenir, maybe you’ll come across a nice handbag, a pair of sandals, probably made in China. But this is the place for fabulous fresh fruit and vegetables grown locally and amazing flowers, usually imported, but never the less beautiful. Make sure you set a few hours to spend in the atmosphere of the market soaking in the sounds, colors and the scents. If already there get some homemade specialties: some local cheeses as they go great with walnuts and wine on the balcony in the evening. For your family and friends get some honey, homemade schnapps: Travarica, Rogacica or some other homemade liquors and try the sun dried figs and rogac (Carob) these will be great to nibble on in front of the TV when you get back home.
Split is the largest city on Adriatic coast in Croatia. Recently, Split has celebrated 1,700 years since it was founded. As such an old city, Split has a lot to offer to it’s visitors from both cultural to nightlife perspective which makes it suitable for all types of travelers.
The most notable landmark in Split is without a doubt Diocletian’s Palace which was built in 305 AD. When you visit Split, there is no way you can miss Diocletian Palace so I will not go into explaining how to find it. One walk on popular Riva and you will have Diocletian’s Palace shadowing over you along the way.
