SIESTA TO FIESTA

Split

EUROPE · FIESTA · PALACE LIFE
A living city inside a Roman emperor's retirement palace — laundry lines over marble.
Split's Riva waterfront promenade

The plan

Diocletian's cellars early
The palace basements before the crowds, then coffee in the Peristyle.
Riva at dusk
The palm waterfront is Split's living room — everyone shows up before dinner.
Marjan hill swim
Locals' pine-covered peninsula: run or bike up, swim at Bene beach.
Bačvice & picigin
The city beach where locals play keep-it-up in ankle-deep water. Join in badly.
Island ferry roulette
Brač's Zlatni Rat, Hvar, Vis — the ferry port is a menu of day trips.
