Port of SPLIT, CROATIA on our Oceania Riviera Cruise – Super Walkable! | Ep. 3

We are Janelle and Mike and we are taking a cruise aboard the oceanana Riviera today we are exploring Split Croatia let’s give you a little tour around the [Laughter] Port one of our favorite things to do on a cruise is watch from our balcony as the ship docks at each Port today we are going to to Split Croatia on this morning it was very cloudy and rainy but that didn’t stop us from venturing out Early it’s always a lot of fun seeing the different boats docked as we make our way toward the City split is a very walkable Port you can easily see many of the Prime attractions on foot close to your cruise Ship The first place you’ll come to is the Reva the Reva is full of bustling cafes and restaurants where you can stop and enjoy a nice meal or drink this prominade is the most important and popular public place in Split to the west side of the harbor is

The church and convent of St Francis this church houses the tomb of Croatian author Marco Marik split is full of charming Alleyways and facades we spent a lot of time just walking around and enjoying the views we’re currently in Split Croatia and it’s quite rainy and a little bit

Windy but it’s a beautiful city taking up a prime Harbor Side position the extraordinary complex of dian’s Palace is one of the most imposing ancient Roman structures in existence today and it’s where you’ll spend most of your time while in Split don’t anticipate a palace though nor a

Museum this is the city’s living Heart full of Labyrinth streets packed with people bars shops and Restaurants each wall has a gate at its Center there’s the elaborate Northern Golden Gate the southern bronze gate the Eastern Silver Gate and the Western Iron Gate We made our way toward the palace’s Golden Gate [Laughter] So Janelle what are we doing we’re in Ivan mro Gregory of nin that’s what we’re looking at Gregory of nin was a 10th Century Croatian Bishop he fought for the right to use old Croatian in lurgical Services instead of Latin notice that his left big toe has been

Polished to a shine it’s said that rubbing the toe brings good luck and guarantees that you’ll come back to split then we made our way over to the aqueduct of Dean how does it turn On the aqueduct was designed to bring water to the Palace it was constructed between the end of the 3rd and the beginning of the 4th Century ad at the same time as the Palace as we continued Meandering through split we found ourselves at the Silver Gate of deian Palace there’s so much history here with the worn Stones beneath our feet to the Towering columns and archways these ruins are some of the most valuable surviving buildings of the Roman era on the Adriatic Coast it’s easy to see that the parisle is strategically positioned within dian’s Palace it would provide the

Emperor and his courtiers with direct access to his quarters it didn’t serve solely as a place for relaxation of the emperor but rather as a venue for religious and other public events from the Paris style you can enter the podrum this is a Labyrinth of vaulted underground chambers that is

Located under what was Dean’s Palace back in Dean’s day the podum was used as a storehouse and a prison the main passageway is lined with stalls selling souvenirs and artwork the Mosaic tole flooring that you see coming out of the podum was discovered in 1905 the split Department

Of Conservation has made a concerted effort to restore and preserve these tiles that were made in the late 4th and early 5th Century as the day wore on the sun broke through the clouds and the temperature Rose we realized it was a good time to

Go back to the ship grab a bite to eat and change our clothing this is something we love about these ports the city is close enough to the ship that we can walk back for a break and still have time to go back out and explore some more

While we relaxed for a few minutes on the back deck of the Oceana Suite we were able to observe fairies come and go from the Port after changing into clothes more appropriate for the warmer weather we headed back out for one last stroll around split going back out again going to try it again Yes As the sunet we said one last goodbye to Croatia before moving on make sure you stick around because in the next episode we dock in the vibrant city of Bari Italy thank you so much for watching make sure to hit the like button and subscribe as it really supports our Channel see you in Bari
