1. Day: Early arrival to Split airport. Coach & driver are waiting on arrival terminal. Drive to Split for sightseeing.we proceed to Split, which, along with Dubrovnik, is also on UNESCO’s list of world cultural heritage. Today’s Split is the handiwork of seventeen centuries of men and women building and remodeling, adding and tearing down and touching up, so that 18th century houses intersect with ancient Roman walls and fourth century chambers house twentieth century apartments. At the core of this sprawling cityscape is the palace that Emperor Diocletian built for his golden years at the turn of the fourth century. After the sightseeing free time & transfer to the Hotel in Vodice
From Sibenik we continue to the Krka Waterfalls. Krka is a river in Dalmatia; springs out at the western foot of Dinara Mountain and flows into the sea near Sibenik. In limestone it forms a narrow and deep canyon (up to 200 m), flowing over travertine barriers and creating waterfalls. The most beautiful of all are Roski Slap and Skradinski Buk. Return to Hotel in Vodice2. Day: After breakfast at the hotel, short drive to the city of Sibenik. The historic town of Sibenik is rich in cultural and historical monuments. The most representative among them is the famous Cathedral of Sibenik (St. Jacobs), one of the most original architectural projects of the late Middle Ages, primarily linked to the local master Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac (George of Dalmatia). 3. Day: Drive to Zadar in the morning. Sightseeing. The historical part of Zadar is fascinating to all those who respect historical monuments and cultural heritage.
