Croatia is a beautiful country in Europe
where life is influenced by the sea the
country has more than 1200 islands and
1100 miles of coastline that means there
are lots of beaches and plenty of
seafood today I'm in split which is a
coastal city on the Adriatic Sea this
area is called the Riva which is the
main promenade along the harbour on a
sunny day it's packed with people going
for walks eating lunch and admiring the
view of the sea just beyond the Riva you
can walk through the old town where you
will find stone buildings with
terracotta roofs and streets paved with
white marble this is the home of
diocletian's palace which was built by
the Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th
century the palace was used as
diocletian's retirement home after you
stepped down for being Emperor in 305 ad
but my favorite part about it is the
food let's go inside and get some dinner
seafood risotto and homemade pasta are
some of the local specialties one of the
most famous dishes is black risotto
which is made with cuttlefish and
cuttlefish ink

favorite as well as beef stew with
homemade gnocchi if you love seafood

Roman history then you should definitely
add split to your bucket list you all
