Highlights of Split?

Diocletian’s Palace
This 4th-century Roman fortress is the heart of the old town — and one of the best-preserved Roman structures in the world. You can stroll through its courtyards, dine in restaurants tucked into ancient walls, or book a private walking tour.

Marjan Hill & Park
A great spot for a morning hike or sunset viewpoint, just a short drive or e-scooter ride from the marina.

Ivan Meštrović Gallery
A peaceful museum featuring works by Croatia’s most famous sculptor, with views over the sea. Ideal for a quiet escape from the crowds.

Cathedral of Saint Domnius
Climb the bell tower for panoramic views over Split and your anchored yacht.
