When visiting Croatia, the city of Split must be included in your itinerary. My friend and I stayed at the "Pink Apartment," which was a dream come true for girlie girls who love the color pink. The decor in this one bedroom, spacious apartment was extraordinary, plus it was only a 5 minute walk to the city and beach.

Spending a day at Bacvice beach is a obligatory when visiting Split. This beach is filled with very friendly locals who are all engaged in the game of Picigin (a local game where you hit a small ball back and fourth with your hands while splashing everyone around you). It is worth buying a small ball from one of the vendors on the beach and trying it for yourself.

We also spent a day in the labyrinthine streets of Diocletian's palace and enjoyed shopping galore. Before leaving Split, we made sure to rub the toe of the gigantic statue, Gregorius of Nin, which ensures our return to the enchanting city of Split.
