Croatia holiday seekers might be interested in seeing a performance festival at Split, which will showcase the best of theatre, dance and music.

Watching other people dance and perform may be the perfect way to wind down after a Croatia sailing holiday.

The 56th annual Split Summer Festival takes place in between mid July and August.
