More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A cool wind from the Adriatic lifts off Split’s Riva as the boat eases away from the quay. You’ll feel the city curve behind you — stone walls, café terraces and the distant outline of Diocletian’s Palace — while the captain points the bow toward Marjan Hill and the slow, green slope of the peninsula. The deck is a place for shade or sun; the bar hands out wine, beer and bottled water as the coastline unfolds.
