Split is the largest and most important city in Dalmatia, the administrative center of Croatia's Split-Dalmatia county. The city is situated on a small peninsula on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea. Although the beginnings of Split are usually linked to the building of Diocletian's Palace, there is evidence that this area was inhabited as a Greek colony even earlier. Diocletian was a Roman emperor who ruled between AD 284 and 305 and was known for his reforms and persecution of Christians. He ordered the work on the palace to begin in 293 in readiness for his retirement from politics in 305. Today, Split is a city who's economy relies mostly on trade and tourism. There are also some old industries undergoing a much needed revival, such as agriculture (fishing, olive, wine production), paper, concrete, and chemicals.
Ancona is located east of the foothills of the tallest mountain range in central Italy - the Apennines. The strategic location of Ancona port has made it the centre of passenger and commercial transportation between Italy, Croatia, and Greece for many years. As a key ferry port in central Italy, Ancona provides daily connections to a variety of destinations across the Adriatic.
