Split
A Roman palace turned living city, with the islands of the Adriatic at the end of the pier.

Resumen
Split grew inside the retirement palace of the emperor Diocletian, and 1,700 years later the palace is still the centre: cafes in the peristyle, apartments in the walls, the cathedral in his mausoleum. Around it is a confident Dalmatian port city of beaches, the Marjan hill forest, a ferry harbour that serves Hvar, Brac, Vis and Korcula, and a summer nomad and sailing scene that has made it the Adriatic's most popular base. Shoulder seasons are the secret; July and August belong to the crowds.
Por qué visitarlo
For Mediterranean island-hopping from a city that is itself a monument, and a Croatian nomad permit that lets you stay a year.

Qué hacer
Por estilo de viaje
Una base de datos de destinos, siete vistas. La puntuación de compatibilidad es editorial, sobre cinco.
The Adriatic's hostel hub for island hopping and sailing weeks; shoulder seasons halve the price.
Seasonal hospitality and sailing-crew work for EU citizens; summer is a party, winter is dead.
Year-long nomad permit, sun, sea, EU infrastructure and a summer community; quiet winters and summer rents are the trade.
Viajeros del mundo a largo plazo
The Dalmatian coast is a classic European leg, by bus and ferry to Montenegro and Albania.
Beautiful and affordable off-season; Croatia's residence options for retirees are limited compared with Portugal or Spain.
Learn to sail, dive, kayak and swim the islands for a season.
Flat old town, easy ferries, superb food; choose May, June or September for calm and warmth.
Práctico
Seguridad
Very safe. Sea urchins, sunburn and summer pickpockets in the palace; the bura wind cancels ferries.
Estafas frecuentes
Private-room touts at the bus station (fine, but inspect first), inflated summer taxi fares, and the occasional restaurant 'service' line.
Conectividad y trabajo remoto
Good fibre in apartments; coworking at Saltwater Nomads, Amosfera and a few cafes; strong 4G/5G across Dalmatia.
A sunny, connected, EU-legal base with a year-long nomad permit and a lively summer community; winters are quiet and some nomads rotate to Zagreb or warmer countries.
