Wine bar in the pretty village of Primošten, the outdoor seating spots have an incredible view of the sunset. Watch the yachts roll in to moor for the night and local fisherman take thier catches direct to the local restaurants. The organic wines should reduce that hangover too

Of all the bars on Split's main seafront promenade Olive Tree seems to be one of the most popular (maybe because it opens 'till 1am). It's a modern, cool, sassy joint with great cocktails.

Worth visiting this place and taking a look at this interesting architecture!

Words can’t describe how absolutely mind blowing it is to walk here. Feels like a completely different world￼

Bring your raincoat and good shoes to hike the stairs up to the top of the waterfall!
