Region Dalmatia is beautiful with untouchable nature and thousand islands.Island Ciovo is only 25 km far away from Split and is connected with bridge to Trogir a litlle town under protection of Unesco.You should visit this phantastic town because many celebrity were there (Bernie Ecclestione, Albert Grinaldi, Gwyneth Palthrow, Armani and many others).

Don't forget Fazana and the islands of Brioni! Just a little north of Pula....You may not see them on a map...but it was a summer home for Tito ( his choice of all Yugoslavia) and farther back the Caesars during the Roman empire (even farther back, stone age man and before him dinosaurs. You can see footprints in stone!) Think about it... with all of Italy why choose to live here? Thats right!
