Split

Croatia’s second largest city is one which brims with history. A major port since Roman occupation the renovated sea front now blends ancient and modern in a stylish way and in the summer the town hums with life as visitors and locals mix in the bars and cafes with the stunning mountainous coastline in the background. Split is much more than glorious architectural scenery, it’s a venue for excellent food and wine, cultural festivals, film, theatre, art, palaces and music.

Hvar

Widely known as the “new St-Tropez” Hvar is clearly one of Croatia’s top islands and one of the jewels of the Adriatic. One of Hvar’s major features is sunshine.

The renovated Venetian townhouses on winding little streets serve as a backdrop to the best nightlife on the Adriatic. Away from Hvar town you will find pristine beaches leading down to crystal clear waters where you can experience a more relaxed and Dalmatian way of life in Jelsa, Stari Grad and Vrboska.

Vis

Vis remains one of the least developed islands in the Adriatic retaining it’s natural beauty as, until 1989 it was used as an army base and cut off from tourism. Now the cozy restaurants will have you hanging out for hours sipping on locally-produced wine from the island, which is some of the finest in Croatia. Savour the freshly caught fish and lobster, enjoy the welcome of friendly locals and relax on the unspoiled beaches. Discover the contrasting pictures of the island, Vis town is wealthier and rich with history while the fishing town of Komiža has much earthier charms.

Solta

The island of Solta is often overlooked by visitors to Croatia, because of this it remains one of the most unspoilt on the Croatian coastline despite its proximity to Split and is an ideal destination for peace and tranquility. Solta is a great place to savour locally grown olives and honey and to taste the wine from the island’s vineyards. Explore, relax and dive into the beauty of many bays, explore the little beaches and coves or visit one of the picturesque little harbour towns like Maslinica and Stomorska.

Korcula

Korcula has some of the best beaches in Croatia, many of them small and secluded in little coves and sandy bays with turquoise water making them the perfect swim spots when exploring on a yacht. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the old town, known as ‘Little Dubrovnik’ is steeped in history. Immerse yourself in the life of bustling harbour town Vela Luka, as you wander through cobbled streets and come across charming shops and markets. 

Trogir

Go for a swim in the warm, clear waters or explore with a paddle board or snorkels.
