A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Split, Croatia by TravelPod blogger Mattad titled “Next Tour: Croatia Sailing”. TravelPod is a company of TripAdvisor™. Mattad’s travel blog entry: “I had survived. After three consecutive overnight ferries totaling 44 hours plus 4 hours of buses and half an hour of trains I had made it from Santorini to Split. Split was to be my only night on land in 11 nights. It was to be the first of many Croatian spots that blew me away. From the very friendly locals, to the amazingly preserved cities and fortifications, epic coastlines to the awesome food, what more could one want? My time in Split should have consisted of a nice relaxing night as it was my first bed in four nights. Instead I had a sweet evening checking out the city by night with an englishman and two american guys, which turned into a few more by the end of it. The following morning was to be the start of my Sail Croatia adventure with TopDeck. I was amongst the minority on the boat with a mere 6 guys to 23 gals and about 90% of everyone being from Australia. This was a pleasant change from the likes of engineering (maybe not the Aussie thing though). The ratio made sense really, with the Sail Croatia being sold out many months in advance and for the most part guys being last minute, what else was going to happen? The only reason I had a spot was because I booked it before I left, so way back in April and even then I only just got a place.” Read and see more at …
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Split, Croatia by TravelPod blogger Billnpat titled “We Split!, A Luxury Cruise on the Adriatic.” Billnpat’s travel blog entry: “September 15 A wonderful day on a luxury day cruise on the Adriatic from Trogir to Split. Well, for us it was luxury, and, you know, I would not trade our little trip for the same trip on one of those huge yachts! The first stage was a little put-put passenger ferry, about double the size of a Granville Island ferry, from near the campground into Trogir. We then had about 90 minutes for coffee and another look around Trogir while we waited for the ferry to Split. That ferryboat was a catamaran style passenger ferry, about 100 ft long, with an open upper deck and a closed lower deck… could probably carry about 200, but I figure there were about 80 of us on the trip. It was a lovely little trip, with one stop along th way… about an hour altogether, and a far nicer entrance to Split than the hectic road entrance. We docked about 100 metres from the entrance to the famed Diocletian Palace which forms the core of the “Old Town” of Split. For those unfamiliar with Split, the Diocletian Palace, built around 300 AD by the Roman Emperor for his retirement home, forms a walled inner town of about 4×4 city blocks. It has been substantially torn up and infilled over the centuries, so the interior is a mish-mash of old Roman walls, gates and archways with medieval and renaissance little homes. Shops …
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow slideshow of a travel blog to Split, Croatia by TravelPod blogger Jcastellan titled “Swimming and sightseeing” Jcastellan’s travel blog entry: “Jess was a star this morning and got up at 6am to go and meet Shona at the port. When the rest of us woke up she was in our apartment having a snooze. We got up and ready, luckily there was a 24 hour bakery around the corner for our late breakfast. After consulting a travel guide and a suggestion from other friends, we decided to head up the hill for a scenic view of the city. I wasn’t the keenest on this idea- it was hot and I didn’t have walking shoes on. A short while later (10 mins) after leaving our hostel I mentioned that I wasn’t really interested in the view. Dee whole heartedly agreed with me and we headed back to the apartment, got our swimming stuff together and went to the beach where we had a drink at yesterday evening. This was a much better idea. The water was beautiful. A while later, Jess and Shona joined us (they gave up, the path they followed was the wrong one) and Andy kept going because he is persistent and was determined to make it to the top of the hill for the view. After a great swim and laying about we went back to the apartment and showered and then went for an evening walk around town and had dinner. To end the night, we went back to the beach bars and had a few cocktails- what more could we ask for??” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “Waterfront …

It’s Sunday and the larger shops are closed, so we decided to spend the morning back in our nice apartment organising the next few days of our trip. After lunch we drove to Trogir, a Unesco World Heritage site, which occupies a tiny island connected to the mainland by a small bridge. It has a lovely Venetian Cathedral at the old town centre, 15th Century walls and a preserved tower and castle. Luckily the rain held off for our visit to this pretty town.” Read and see more at: www.travelpod.com Photos from this trip: 1. “View from our Balcony” 2. “Unesco World Heritage Town of Trogir” 3. “Trogir” 4. “Cathedral of St Lawrence” 5. “Trogir Church” 6. “Quaint Building Trogir” 7. “Detail Trogir Church” 8. “Statue of Priest Trogir” 9. “Monestary in Trogir” 10. “Bridge to Trogir” 11. “Clock tower Trogir” 12. “The Fortress Kamerlengo (15th century)” See this TripWow and more at tripwow.tripadvisor.com
