Fly away to Dalmatia
There is a certain likeness between Nice and Split. Both cities are nestled between the sea and the mountains. Both display traces of their Roman roots and have an Italian feel that reminds us of their historical connections with the Duchy of Savoy in one case and Venice in the other. Split’s Republic Square, with its buildings boasting arches, red façades and green shutters, looks rather like Nice’s Place Masséna. What’s more, the Riva is reminiscent of Nice’s Promenade des Anglais. However, Dalmatia is not the French Riviera, so your Nice-Split direct flight promises an exotic adventure discovering a different paradise.
