Why stay in Split
Split is one of the few Croatian cities where you can wake inside a Roman palace and reach a ferry to Brač or Hvar before lunch. That makes hotel location unusually important: properties within or beside Diocletian's Palace offer atmosphere and walkability, while waterfront addresses trade a little distance for sea views and resort-style calm. For a multi-stop Dalmatian itinerary, Split is often the most practical — and most rewarding — place to anchor a few nights.
