Split is a busy commercial and ferry port servicing nearby islands, Italy, and Greece. It enjoys a Mediterranean climate and is one of the sunniest places in Europe. Split is best known for Diocletian's Palace, which dates to the 4th century and takes half of Split's old city. Residences still exist inside the Palace's wall; however, property values are making the residences affordable only to the wealthy. Split's port promenade is abuzz with cafe life and lined with palm trees, which were originally brought to the Balkans by Napoleon.
