Vidilica is a cafe/bar on the edge of the wooded Marjan peninsula, at the north/west edge of the town centre. It has a large shaded terrace with fantastic views over the whole harbour, Diocletian's palace, the old and new towns, mountains and islands beyond.

Comfy chairs and sofas, good for photos.

From the Riva walk towards the little church near the start of the marina, Close to Marmontova and the red-arched Trg Republike. Take the small road to the right of the church (Sperun) and follow it up - the name changes to Senjska and it becomes steps that go straight to the cafe. Alternative steps lead back down from the other side of the terrace.

Split's only veggie/vegan restaurant. A welcome relief after eating pizza all week!

They have a daily set menu for 50KN (£5) which includes soup, salad and a main meal. Open 9-6pm.

Also just round the corner on Mladenova is the Tonic juice bar selling a variety of fresh juices and smoothies.

Tucked away in the middle of Split's old town, Cafe Nabeel is a curious but brilliant little local hangout where tourists also seem welcome. The kitchen rustles up hefty pies, best shared, and you can also fill up on toast. Late at night the cafe morphs into a lively night spot where the genial Nabeel can be seen showing off his 'bungra' dance moves - join in for a discount! Perhaps best of all is the decor - a bizarre mixture of local crafts and pieces of Star Wars Lego. An unmissable local oddity.

Head down Zadarska, off Narodni Trg central square in Split's old town.

Newly opened, already doing a roaring trade, and in a lively back street between Split Old Town and the ferry port, The Bistro Black Cat has something a bit different to offer. Sit on the shady terrace and enjoy a full English breakfast, filled croissants, enormous gourmet salads, tapas and a range of international cuisine at local prices. Or just drop by for a real cocktail with fresh ingredients during Happy Hour between 5 and 6pm.

You’ll find Bistro Black Cat, on the corner of Petrova and Šegvićeva, by walking east to the end of Split Riva, passing the market on your left, and then over the bridge over the railway lines on to Petrova. You’ll quickly come to Šegvićeva on your right and the welcoming sign of “Bistro Black Cat”. Or phone 021 490 284 for directions if you get lost! Open 8 am to 12 pm.

If you’re in the middle of a heat wave and the beaches are too hot, head for the banks of the Cetina river, near Omiš (around 16 miles from Spilt) and take a plunge in icy cool fresh water.

Along the River Cetina are two restaurants which can be reached by ferry from Omiš (for about 35 kunas pp). Radmanove Mlinice is about 4 miles upstream and Restoran Kaštil Slanica, a mile further.
