Split – Mediterranean energy and timeless history
The journey begins in Split, a city where centuries of history are a natural part of everyday life. Stroll through Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Roman walls coexist with small shops, wine bars and cafés. Along the Riva promenade, enjoy sea views, the city’s lively atmosphere and beautiful sunsets over the harbour.
If you feel like a swim, both Bačvice, Split’s most famous city beach with sand and beach life, and Kašjuni, a beautiful pebble beach at the foot of Marjan Hill, are within easy reach – perfect for a first dip in the clear Adriatic Sea before the island hopping begins.
Brač – Tranquillity and harbour charm in Milna
By ferry, you continue to Brač, where you stay in Milna, a small and charming harbour village offering a calm pace, authentic island atmosphere and crystal-clear water. Days begin slowly with coffee by the quay, followed by salty swims from rocks and small bathing spots around the village.
Evenings in Milna are relaxed and atmospheric, with restaurants right by the water where you can enjoy local dishes as the sun sets over the harbour.
During your stay on Brač, an excursion to Bol is recommended, famous for the iconic Zlatni Rat beach. Here you’ll find a livelier beach scene, turquoise waters and a wide selection of beach bars and restaurants – a perfect day trip before returning to the tranquillity of Milna in the evening.
Hvar – Sun, swimming and the best of island life
The journey continues to Hvar, one of Croatia’s most popular and scenic islands. Here, beautiful coves and clear waters are combined with the vibrant atmosphere of Hvar Town, where historic alleys lead down to the harbour and the main square.
Take a boat trip to the nearby Pakleni Islands, known for their small beaches and secluded coves, or walk up to Fortica Fortress for breathtaking views over the rooftops and the shimmering sea. Hvar also offers a wide range of restaurants – perfect for long dinners on warm summer evenings.
Return to Split – A final evening by the sea
After your stay on Hvar, you return to Split for the final night of the journey. There’s time to experience the city once more – perhaps a final dinner by the sea, an evening stroll through illuminated streets or a glass of wine overlooking the harbour before heading home.
