Relaxed Split
Summary
Diocletian’s legacy
Split is one of the Mediterranean's most remarkable coastal cities. At its core sits Diocletian's Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site that isn't merely a ruin but a vibrant, inhabited city within ancient walls. Wandering its serpentine streets, discovering Roman, medieval, and Renaissance architecture intertwined, offers a uniquely immersive historical experience unlike anywhere else. Roman specialist and award-winning guide, John Shepherd, leads us overground, underground and all around the key sites in this lovely laid-back Mediterranean city. Beyond the Palace walls we also venture into the Marjan Peninsula and explore the nearby Roman settlement of Salona, and the medieval fortress towns of Trogir and Klis.
What to Expect
- Explore the immense palace of the Emperor Diocletian – one of the best preserved anywhere in the empire
- Discover Klis fortress dramatically perched on a rocky eminence between the Kozjak and Mosor mountains
- Relax with plenty of free time and enjoy a blend of rich history, stunning coastal scenery and an excellent local food scene
