Destination Highlights

Split

Split, the gateway to the Dalmatian Islands, is the second largest city in Croatia and the largest on the Dalmatian coast. This ancient city is full of history and culture and is a great starting point for any Croatian adventure.

Split is well known for its waterfront Old Town, impressive beaches and the fortress-like complex at its centre, Diocletian's Palace.

Dubrovnik

A city of terracotta roofs enclosed in an epic and iconic Old Town wall, Dubrovnik has remained a prominent destination over the Centuries in Croatia.

Also called the Pearl of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is a mesmerising walled city nestled on the far south of the Dalmatian coast. It is a popular tourist destination throughout the year, although we warmly recommend visiting it in the spring or summer months.

Zadar

Zadar is the second largest city on the Dalmatian coast and is home to a sunset that is said to be ‘the most beautiful in the world’.

Old Town Zadar is surrounded by high city walls and impressive gates with an array of ruins, museums, restaurants, and cafes dotted throughout its white marble streets.

Korcula

The breathtaking town of Korčula lies a labyrinth of cobbled streets, incredible restaurants, wine bars, and eclectic stores.

Korčula is the fabled birthplace of the renowned explorer Marco Polo and is affectionately nicknamed 'Little Dubrovnik' due to its similar architecture and structure in the Old Town. Studded by fortified towers reaching high above the city walls.

Mljet

Found on Dalmatia’s most southerly isle sits the mostly untouched and lushly covered island of Mljet. If you’re ready to leave the busyness of your life behind and relax without the constant pressures of city life, Mljet is an Adriatic oasis getaway.
