[@kristijanEX]

The Bačvice beach is a famous beach in Croatia where the game of "picigin" originates, it's essentially a small ball game with at least 2 people, where the goal is to keep the ball in the air as long as possible whilst being a bit less than waist height in water so you can leap out of the water better. It's really fun.

[@angieroney4741]

Very informative! I love the way Kendra talk, very smooth voice and clear! and Croatia is so beautiful! Added on my bucket list!! ❤️

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Thanks so much for your kind comment! Croatia is lovely! You’ll love it!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Thanks so much Lashon! We’re so glad you liked the video! Hope you like Split as well!

[@TravelInteresante]

Such a historical place, can't wait to visit one day! The cathedral is really impressive and the view from the Bell Tower is just beautiful. I like how you were by the water while eating! Lol like your pose at Klis Fortress! You two love visiting national parks - don't blame you though, its so nice and glad the boat ride is included in the price.

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Split is fabulous! You’ll love it once you finally get to Croatia.

[@kaitsdiary]

very nice travelling the waterfalls looks amazing

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Yes, the waterfalls at Krka were spectacular! We can highly recommend it!

[@BeingBedingfield]

Split looks like a beautiful town! Unbelievable that it belonged to one person 😵 Again you found a beautiful viewpoint going up a narrow staircase 🥰 The shopping area in the cellar looks really cool. Oooh, Game of Thrones filming location!! The picture of the before and after cgi is amazing! And the views are stunning. The waterfalls in the National park are beautiful!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Yes I wonder what it’s like to own a whole town as your palace. Unreal I bet!

[@diannelane3192]

Just discovered your channel and you guys are awesome! Greatly appreciate that you mentioned the month in the video, most don't. It's very helpful to figure out what to wear at various times of the year and how busy it is. Also love that you gave a great deal of information, tips, and how to instructions. Well done!!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Glad it was helpful Dianne! Hope you have a great trip!

[@FunandBudget]

12 hr bus ride...whew, the dedication!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Yes indeed! You know we’re die hard though!

[@TideKnotTravellers]

Thank you for showing us Split, it’s the one place I really wanted to squeeze in during our visit to Croatia but couldn’t. Loved the Egyptian myth that David said, freaky but interesting! Glad you loved the food you found there too, it looked really good 😋

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Happy to share! Sorry you didn’t have more time to explore the city.

[@Explorcation]

Hey guys, another great episode jam packed with so many travel ideas 🙌 Thanks for sharing the history of the sphinx...I think I would avoid looking it in the 👀 Umm that beef dish in the wine sauce sounded and looked soo good. I am not even going to try to spell it though😆 The views from the fortress were so pretty 😍

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Yes we loved a jam packed adventure! There’s so much to see in Croatia.

[@TheAverageTourist]

The cathedral looks so beautiful. I would love to try that beef pasticada - looked soo tasty! It would be cool to see the fortress and try to remember the spots it was in the show. The beach and the national park would also be on my list of things do to, can't pass up a waterfall!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

We were so surprised at how good that beef pasticada was. Watching the footage made me want to go back to Split just to eat it again.

[@BeHereTravel]

Looks like you guys covered every square inch of that place ;)

[@LucasWorldTravel]

We tried! We decided not to climb the hill with 300 stairs so technically not every inch. 😉

[@francinejaninesarmiento1797]

Wow, thanks for these Croatia tips! This is very helpful for my next travel! Have you tried using a duffle bag for your travel? I recommend using the Bento Bag from Nomad Lane. I've been using this bag for months now and it is such a hack. It has a trolley sleeve feature and it fits under the seat too! makes your travel more convenient and effortless and it packs like a suitcase too!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Great tip!

[@kristijanEX]

The Klis fortress used to be home to the legendary Croatian warriors known as Uskoci (in English that would translate something like "soldiers that jump out of nowhere"). Their leader was Petar Kružić and he commanded 2000 Uskoks at most in the 1520s to about the 1540s when they relocated to Senj under a new leader called Ivan Lenković in another fortress called Nehaj. That defene lasted until 1618, the Uskoks committed acts of piracy and although they primarily fought a guerilla fight against the Turks, they also fought against the Venetians. It is said that after the Senj Uskoks were disbanded in 1678, they migrated to the Žumberak region of Croatia and the Bela krajina (White Frontier) region of Slovenia.

[@kristijanEX]

The Saint Domnius Cathedral is also the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world.

[@gylbert8668]

Hi. Can you please tell me what is the name of the accomodation? Or how far is from Diocletian Palace? Thank you!

[@LucasWorldTravel]

Here’s the Airbnb link. abnb.me/v5ZEC5lFZqb. It was a 10 minute walk to Diocletian’s Palace!
