With a population of just 24,862, this small Croatian town is more suburb than destination. The relics of ancient Salona provide a veneer of history, but Solin is today little more than an industrial outpost of nearby Split. Bureaucratic headaches abound, as the town remains firmly in the grip of the larger Split conurbation. And while the mild Mediterranean climate offers respite from the blustery Bura winds, it does little to alleviate the persistent grind of everyday life here. Solin is best suited for those content to live in the shadow of Croatia's more vibrant coastal cities.
