An English speaking guide will take you on a morning Split city tour, walking you through the historical Diocletian’s Palace. Split is the second largest urban centre in Croatia and the seat of the Split-Dalmatia County, boasting 1,700 years of history. Since 1979 the historic centre of Split has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. City’s historical and cultural buildings are located inside the walls of the palace. At 1200HRS, start cruising to Omiš with lunch on board. An ancient town with city walls, fortresses and stone churches, Omiš is located at the delta of Cetina River with its wonderful beaches. For centuries, Omiš was a stronghold of famous pirates, a symbol of retaliation, courage and strength in the long historical fight against The Republic of Venice. Cruise continues across the channel to Pučišća on the Island of Brač. Nowhere in the system of towns and villages in Dalmatia does terrain play such a compelling role as in Pučišća. Its spectacular irregularity of steep-sided natural harbour, authentic Mediterranean architecture and rustic ambience are simply unforgettable. Stone from Pučišća quarry was used to build limestone columns of the White House in Washington DC, Vienna Parliament and many other famous buildings around the world. Pučišća is also home to the only stonemasonry school still operating in Croatia. Overnight in Pučišća. (B, L)
