Plitvik Lakes
Split
Split has some great restaurants and markets.
Plitvik Lakes National Park is a 295-sq.-km forest reserve in central Croatia. It's known for a chain of 16 terraced lakes, joined by waterfalls, that extend into a limestone canyon. Walkways and hiking trails wind around and across the water, and an electric boat links the 12 upper and 4 lower lakes (https://np-plitvicka-jezera.hr/). A magical place, get there early to avoid the crowds. And then onward to the historic and enjoyable city of Split.
