Andrew, I am enthralled with your trip report. Your manner of writing which makes one feel they are taking the trip with you and your thoughts and reactions during your trip. Now I have the pleasure of enjoying your pictures which I know will be fantastic as I have always enjoyed your photography ability.
And of course I am looking forward to your next installment!

Loved your red sky photos of Korcula.
In Split, how long did it take you to hike up the Marjan hill? I'm trying to figure how long I need to see the highlights of Split. I have two nights there, and during the one full day want to go to Trogir so am deciding between arriving on the early ferry from Korcula (which I think you did) or stopping for a few hours in Hvar. But that would mean only an afternoon evening in Split (plus whatever part of the day we aren't in Trogir). I notice you spent some time wandering the "other" (non touristy) parts of Split so does that mean you didn't spend that much time in the old town (Diocletian's Palace and arround)?

I don't think you necessarily need a full day for Trogir. I got the fast bus out there from the bus station and the slow local 37 bus (which goes right past the airport) back.
And in 2 half days you can see a lot of what there is to see in Split. I didn't go up the Marjan hill so can't comment on that.

Isabel, it didn't take long to walk up Marjan Hill. You start on a city street and then march up a series of steps, at first through a neighborhood then further up the hill. At various points you'll see viewpoints back on Split.
I certainly walked around and through Diocletian's Palace numerous times; my soba was close by so whenever I was coming and going I tried to walk through the palace in various ways whenever I had the opportunity. Much of it is open to walk through and is just used for retail businesses. But I never took a formal tour of "the palace." Some of it isn't open to the public, so I guess you can see that on tour, too.
