For instance, the town of Vis on the island of Vis was established by the Greeks as their "Polis" (city) nearly 2,500 years ago. From Vis, the Greeks spread to Hvar island and later to the Dalmatian coast. The city of Split, another historic gem, was founded by the Romans 1,700 years ago.
Culture
Ancient amphitheaters, theatres, palaces, castles, fortifications, monasteries, and three UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Split, Trogir, and Stari Grad on the island of Hvar) all lie within 50 kilometers. These cultural treasures make all Dalmatians proud and leave visitors in awe, adding to the charm of this dream wedding destination.
