What to see and do during a sailing holiday in Croatia

For those who choose to experience the timeless beauty of Croatia, a small ship cruise could be the perfect option. After all, there are more than 1,185 islands to explore off the country's 1,778 km coastline and with a combination of expansive pebble beaches and intimate coves, you'll never stop enjoying the view.

Of course, when you go ashore during your cruise in Croatia, there's plenty to offer on dry land as well. With Sail Croatia, you can choose from six different destinations for your sailing holidays in Croatia, giving you the opportunity to see much of country.

Split is the largest city in Dalmatia and one of the oldest as well, with a history going back 1,700 years. It boasts a prolific literary tradition and those who visit during a cruise to Croatia will have a range of museums and galleries to choose from.

Dubrovnik, one of the country's southern-most cities, has long been a centre for maritime trade and once rivalled Venice. Today, visitors on a cruise in Croatia will enjoy the city's centuries-old architecture and stunning harbour.

Makarska is a smaller town, but one of the best known tourist areas on the coast. The destination offers a number of historic landmarks, including cathedrals, monuments and a Baroque palace.

On a luxury cruise in Croatia, you could also spend time on some of the islands, with options including Hvar, Vis and Korcula. Unwind on a sun-kissed beach or go for a walk along the lush hillsides for breathtaking views of fertile vineyards and olive groves.
