Discover an Affluent Heritage on a Cheap Holiday in Split
A cheap holiday to Split wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Diocletian’s Palace. Built on the rugged coastline to house the first Roman Emperor to abdicate the throne in 305AD, Diocletian’s Palace is a beacon for all tourists as it proudly boasts the architectural brilliance of antiquity.
Yet, because the city has at one time or another been under Roman, Venetian, Austrian, French, Italian and Yugoslav rule there is plenty for the discerning explorer to discover with cheap flights to Croatia
Tourists on a cheap package holiday in Split keen to delve further into this varied past will find the Cathedral of St Domnius on the eastern side, People’s Square on the western side and the Statue of Gregory of Nin, whose big toe on the left foot is golden because, as superstition goes, if you rub the toe it will bring you luck!

Arguably the busiest beach in Split is the Blue Flag awarded Bacvice Beach which is wide with narrow waters, perfect for everyone to cool off with a quick dip in the sea on a cheap holiday in Split.
