I went with my daughter about 15 years ago, we stayed in an appartment in the Old Town, about 200m off the Stradun. I first went to Croatia (Split) in 1969 when I was 16 and it was still part of Yugoslavia.

The worst education secretary in modern history and when you consider that the list includes Keith Joseph, Gavin Williamson, Nadim Zahawi, that's quite a feat!
