Croatia Split is a port on the Adriatic Sea in the Republic of Croatia. It is the cultural and economic center of Dalmatia. In Split, the harborfront promenade called the Riva has been completely overhauled. The cafe umbrellas, concrete, and patchwork landscaping were replaced by a broad, sleek, bright-white public space. While some people enjoy this snazzy and slick people zone, many locals think it clashes with the higgledy-piggledy Old Town.
Croatia's top destination, Dubrovnik, is being re-discovered,
including by cruise ship crowds. On a very busy day in summer,
as many as 30,000 passengers — seven giant ships' worth —
inundate the little Old Town. Non-cruise travelers should do
their sightseeing, especially walking around the City Wall,
early or late to avoid the midday crush and heat.
The Nona Ana catamaran, which swiftly connects Dubrovnik to
Mljet Island (with its national park), has extended its run. In
the summer, it now also continues four times each week to the
ever-popular island town of Korcula.
