Split | Trogir | Sibenik | Primosten SPLIT 25 km from Rogoznica Only second to Zagabria, Spalato is the most important city of Croatia and, despite its ancient origins still witnessed by the stone-made buildings of the historical center, nowadays it is a modern city fully oriented to tourism. Particularly, the promenade and the historical center are enriched by several shops, restaurants, pubs and discos. Absolutely not to forget to visit is the magnificent Diocleziano Palace, built by means of white stone and sorrounded by mighty walls. Diocleziano Palace is considered one of the most important Roman ruins in the world and in spite of the architectural changes made through the centuries, nowadays it still keeps its unforgettable charm. The heart of the palace is made up by a Peristilio, which was the entrance to the imperial areas and to Diocleziano Mausoleum, later on changed in a cathedral between the 12th and 16th century. For those fond of art and history, we recommend to visit the Arheoloski Muzej, where you can admire archaeological finds of the nearby Roman town Salona. Visiting time: 1 day Diocleziano Palace Palace underground View from the sea Useful information In Spalato during Summer several artistical events take place, which embrace the jazz festival, on July, and many concerts and theatrical representations. Shakespeare's disco organizes outdoor concerts. For further information: www.visitsplit.com Recommend restaurants The best value-for-money restaurant is unmistakeably Varos in the downtown. The restaurant on the ACI Marina has a terrific view and overall good quality. We found a bit disappointing the famous Sumica. Galija. Pizza, spaghetti, all good quality. Sarajevo. Balcanic specialties (meat) but also fish. TROGIR 20 km from Rogoznica Trogir stands on an island very close to the dry land to which is linked by a bridge. It was founded by Illirians and then conquered first by Greeks, then by Romans and in the more recent times by Venetians who left their architectural sign to the city. One can make a promenade in narrow streets, admiring great palaces in Venetian style and white stone-built houses, typical of this place. Worth of mention is the central square, where a masterpiece of the Venetian architecture, S. Laurence' Cathedral stands. For its beauty, Trogir is Unesco's World Heritage. Visiting time: half a day View Promenade Square Useful information Trogir has a nice little market, where it is possible to buy typical Croatian foodstuffs like ham and cheese. The Tourist Office stands in front of the Cathedral Square. Recommend restaurants Excellent is Kamerlengo (Vukovarska 2, in the old town). Very good also Barba 1 km before Trogir driving from Rogoznica (specialized in mussels and shells) and Celica (floating restaurant just passed the bridge to Ciovo, on the right). SIBENIK 25 km from Rogoznica Sibenik was founded by the first Croatian tribes and up to now it keeps a very characteristic historical center that dates from the 15th and 16th century, the time when the city could acknowledge its greatest splendour under the Venetian domination. The heart of the historical center is represented by the square with S. James' Cathedral, whose external walls are decorated by 71 heads figuring all the different types of human personalities, and the Town Hall perfectly rebuilt after the bombing endured during the war. Sibenik's promenade is dotted by several bars, restaurants, pubs and discos which represent a special destination worthing a cheerful night all together. Visiting time: half a day House with wistaria S. James' Cathedral Cathedral ornament View from the sea Promenade Useful information The last week of June and the first of July the Children's International Festival takes place. It has the aim to make children familiarize with different artistic genres (painting, music, theatre…). In two-week time also different kinds of laboratories are organized along Sibenik's streets.

PRIMOSTEN 5 km from Rogoznica Primosten is a medieval village with well-kept stone houses, built on a small peninsula which offers a magnificent view on the islands facing this expanse of the coast. We recommend to make a promenade following the whole village's perimeter in order to admire the splendid sorrounding coast. Visiting time: 2 hours   View   Useful information For those who like night-life, we point out the Aurora discoteque, the biggest of the place. Recommend restaurants Kamenar, very good, just entered old Primosten from the main villane door. Dalmacija. Quite good and less expensive fish restaurant. Within the old town of Primosten. Saricevi Dvori. In Primosten Burni, just on the hills above Primosten (10 km from Rogoznica), highly recommendable for price-quality.
