WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. {
The Riva started to look the way it does today two centuries ago, when the French, in time of Napoleon ruled these parts through Marshal Marmont. Today this promenade is the cities living room, the most popular and most important public place in Split. In the meantime it has been widened and reconstructed several times, but it was always blessed with the most spectacular set, the south facade of the Diocletian Palace, with the entrance into the Substructures, and later on with the buildings that were built west of the Palace, also the Franciscan monastery with the church of St. Francis, and the Bajamonti Dešković Palace and last but not least the Port Authorities building on the east end
2. {
Bacvice is sandy beach, with sand being very soft. It is pleasing to walk on it and enter the sea. Water is shallow even 100 meters away from the coast. That means it's ideal for having fun and playing water sports. Bacvice is place of birth of game called picigin, which is part of UNESCO non-material heritage. The game is played by throwing a small ball to the other players, in shallow water. The ball must not enter the sea, and aim of the game is to keep it up in the air as much as possible. Every year in Split is held Picigin World Cup. Croatian team usually wins.
3. {
The southwest cape of the Split harbour is called Sustipan after a Middle Aged monastery of St. Stephen under the pine trees, which served as the resting ground to the Croatian Kings. At the beginning of the 19th century Sustipan became Split's first cemetery, outside of the city at the time, only to be demolished, regardless of the emotional connection citizen's of Split had for this location and an extraordinary artistic value of the local tombs, by the communist authorities after the opening of the new cities cemetery. The only thing preserved to this day of the entire cemetery is a Classicistic gloriette. Sustipan is turned into a beautiful park, a genuine little green oasis in the immediate vicinity of Marjan and the city, from its reefs that meet the sea a breathtaking view spreads directly towards the deep sea and the islands in front of Split.
4. {
Marjan, the hill that overlooks the city has always been the most impressive part of Split imagery. Such a harmony betwwen natural and urban is rarely found; on one side the densely populated city in all of its glory and on the other a peninsula of almost pristine nature.
5. {
Backing onto the pine-covered foothills of the Marjan peninsula, this scenic pebble and sand stretch has an appealing laid-back atmosphere. Kašuni Beach is an attractive beach destination for swimming and sunbathing. More peaceful and rural in feel than Split’s main Bačvice Beach, it is a good place to enjoy a relaxing day out. Bask in the sun and lounge away an afternoon on its tranquil shores. The strip is comprised of fine pebble and sand and is bordered by wooded sloping hills. Also we stop in front of the beach for swimming.

Wonderful evening. The crew was fabulous - thank you Sokol! Much fun and laughs on board. The boat is lovely and there was plenty of time to see the sunset and enjoy everyone’s company. If you’re lucky you will see dolphins too.

Great walk in a festive atmosphere to admire the coast on a fairly calm sea and a light wind. All for €30 each. The boat changes to modern ones and a little beer on board..

We felt pretty fooled by this Tour - if you book this Tour at the harbor, you pay half the price for exact the same Tour. So - don t book it online...

This boat ride exceeded our expectations! The views along the route were beautiful. We got to jump off and swim around. The host was so friendly and provided a lot of information about the history of Split as well as useful recommendations for our time there. Would definitely recommend!

The trip took over 1,5 hours. There were only a few people on the deck, in the front we sit with another couple so we had good view for making videos and photos. We also enjoyed talking with the couple who were originally from Azerbaijan but emigrated to America because of the turmoil in their country. Ante offered us refreshment of our choice in a plastic cup - wine for my husband and lemonade for me once- despite he announced it will be unlimited drinks. We paid Euro 70 for both of us. There is some confusion for us what's the name of the agency as the bill was printed as from BAJAM tur. agencija and the voucher heading was of Travela travel agency. Despite we enjoyed a lot of our trip it would be appreciated if we would be told or got some information what part or Split's coast we were passing by. We would do it again if we will be visiting Split.

So good to get away from the crowds for 90 minutes - 2 large cruise ships were in town. Good to see Split from the sea, and also the Marjan peninsula. White plonk served in plastic cups both on the outward and return journeys, and opportunity for a swim for those who wanted it. Awnings were put up to keep the sun off. The only disappointment - there was no commentary, and we had to ask the “captain” for information on what we were passing. More info on the replica boat would have been useful; it had lovingly been built but we knew nothing about it!

We booked via Mia on stand 6 and she said along with the sunset, you'd go past some historical places, get unlimited drinks plus cheese/ham boards

Judita failed the deliver - not sure if she was drunk (she seemed it a bit and a few of us thought she was) otherwise she was just v.lazy on wed 12th

We got 3 drinks total - 2 soley because we finally managed to find her off her phone or not hiding or just finally catch her attention to ask for one!

The cheese board...we got a cube or two each then we watched her scoff have of it herself while she was standing with 2 other guests but hadn't cicled around elsewhere
And didn't see any ham.

Also who knows where the historical places were, no info shared.

Cute to spend time with my friend watching the sunset so for the view spot and a trip that doesn't use a lot of your time then fab.

But yeah Judita was certainly having a majorly off day - she's there to make the experience but she soley was a 1* performance!

Was a great experience! Definitely worth it with Judita and Ivica were great! Despite the rain they made it a fantastic experience. The captain knew a lot about the history!
