The motorboat slips out of Split’s harbor as the city exhales gold; the Marjan peninsula slides past to starboard, pine-scented slopes darkening against the sky. Waves throw back the dying light and the Adriatic dares you to slow down. Music hums; a glass of bubbly is handed over. Ahead, low islands break the horizon and the shoreline of Diocletian’s city becomes a string of lights, familiar stones taking on a theatrical glow.
