Amidst the Kozjak and Mosor mountains and surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, just a few hours away from one of the other European capitals, the small peninsula where Split is located has a lot to offer to every visitor and traveler.
Croatia, as a Balkan nation, is a must-visit country for anyone who chooses to visit Eastern Europe in a meaningful way. On the one hand, it has a rich historical heritage full of monuments classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; on the other, it is a country that is still recovering from a political war, in the group of countries with the highest number of people living below the poverty line.
With its charming ancient towns and villages, beautiful beaches, and more than a thousand islands, its history has produced a very rich cultural diversity, shaped by Roman and Turkish influences, that is, Mediterranean and Eastern European influences. These historical heritages mark the different regions of Croatia. Between Istria, Dalmatia, and the center of Croatia, the gastronomy, lifestyle, and accents can change a lot, making the country very diverse and interesting. Split, the second biggest city, has a specific Mediterranean influence that makes it especially welcoming, cosy and warm. With its palace just by the seaside, Split brings a peaceful and fresh atmosphere that invites you to come and stay for a while.
