Fantastic 5.0

I highly recommend this apartment. It's located in the city center, and there's a small supermarket right next door for buying water or snacks. You can also cook if you want. In the morning, they provide simple croissants and coffee for you to enjoy.

Great 4.0

It was a lovely visit to Krka National Park and we enjoyed being in nature. It was an easy walk on the boardwalk with some stairs. We enjoyed ourselves. The visit however, was marred as I was pickpocketed at the park. I’ve informed the guide to alert others who are on this tour. We stopped at Skradin via the boat ride, frankly nothing much to do there if you are not going on the wine tour. So we had lunch and walked about which could be covered in 1.5 to 2 hours.

What a fantastic day. Highly recommend the Krka Waterfall tour from Split. Our guide, Richard was super friendly and knowledgeable, elevating the entire experience. The driver Ante, was also great, very smooth and safe ride - I normally get travel sick and didn’t, so thanks! The scenery was beautiful, and there are food and drink vendors at the major locations so no need to bring food with you, but do bring cash.

fantastic day on the water. I recommend checking the wind conditions for the day you want to book, if the winds are too strong and the waves too big you cannot enter the cave. we had calm conditions and had a great day exploring the islands and blue cave.
