Where are Split and Dubrovnik located?

Our tour starts from the thriving city of Dubrovnik and, after a week of sailing northwards, arrives in another important Croatian city, Split.

Both of these splendid Croatian resorts overlook the Adriatic Sea, and the stretch of coast that separates them is characterized by being very jagged and steep, with slopes, hidden coves, and bays, as well as countless islands not far from the continent and willing to form more ” strips ”or levels along with the entire distance that separates the two cities.

How do we reach our departure destination?

The best way to reach Croatia from Europe is certainly by air. In our case, the best stopover is the Dubrovnik airport, located just 19 km south of the city and the main airport in the region, which is particularly interested in charter routes during the summer season.

Once you have reached your final destination, there is no need to return to Dubrovnik to go back home. Split-Kaštela airport, located about 25 km northwest of Split, offers flights to European cities such as London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome, and Paris and is an excellent alternative for your return flight.

At Your Boat Holiday, we specialize in preparing and managing itineraries tailored to our customer’s requests and preferences. What you see below is just one of the many possible itineraries that our company usually organizes in the Croatia Dalmatian islands:

• Day 1: Dubrovnik

With more than 250 days of sunshine a year, modern Dubrovnik has much to offer its visitors. Reborn after one of the bloodiest conflicts on European soil in recent years, today it is an enchanting city where the white of the stone and the soft colors of the roofs mix and create a striking contrast with the blue of the sea.

Its imposing walls make for a pleasant walking path from which you can peek over the old city, which has splendid churches, palaces, squares, and streets.

Be sure to visit the city’s exciting museums and take a relaxing break on one of its beautiful beaches. With mild temperatures that allow you to swim from April to October and an active tourism organization that organizes events even in winter, Dubrovnik is increasingly becoming a popular destination in the Mediterranean panorama.

• Day 2: set sail to Mljet Island National Park

Mljet National Park occupies most of the northwestern part of the island. The park covers 3000 hectares, and the lake area is accessible only on foot, by bicycle, or by kayak or canoe.

The island is perfect for those who love trekking. It is worth reaching the highest peaks, Veli Gradac and Mali Gradac, or exploring the caves in the hinterland. Inside the National Park territory, numerous paths can be covered on foot or by bike.

Do not miss a visit to the Ulysses cave, located south of the island. It is an oval karst cave whose bottom is covered with water. It can be reached both by sea and by crossing a staircase by land. It is so-called because it is supposed that here, the goddess Calypso held Ulysses prisoner for seven years before letting him go.

The island is also one of the best places to dive. Among the best spots are Goli Rat, Lenga, and Odisejeva špilja.

• Day 3: Lastovo Island

In the center of Dalmatia is one of Croatia’s most beautiful and wildest islands, Lastovo. Home to a military base, it remained closed to tourism until 1998, which is why it retains its extraordinary beauty today. The island is surrounded by 46 smaller islands that form the Lastovo Archipelago, a wonder for all sailing lovers and those looking for unspoiled nature.

The most famous bay is Pasadur, located on the western side, about 3 km north of the Ubli port. Two saltwater lakes, Velo Lago and Malo Lago, can be reached thanks to paths in the woods.

• Day 4: Korcula Island

Enchanting beaches, ancient villages, and delicate white wines have made this small island, only 47 km long and 5 km wide, an unmissable stop on a Dalmatian trip. Food and wine tourism are attracting more travelers who love wines produced here.

One of the most famous tourist attractions is also the alleged birthplace of the famous traveler and explorer Marco Polo. There is no evidence that he was born here, but tradition points to Korcula as his birthplace.

Many beaches, bays, inlets, and coves shore up the coast. Among them, we point out Vela Przina, Korcula’s most popular sandy beach, frequented by tourists and locals. It is located near Lumbarda, in the southern part of the island.

• Day 5: Hvar Island

Hvar is the most visited island in Croatia and the most exclusive Croatian island. Among ancient villages immersed in the lavender scent, renowned locations such as Hvar city stand out, an elegant medieval town enclosed within fourteenth-century walls, surrounded by pine forests and overlooking a blue sea. Over time it has built a reputation as a “glamorous city”, where you can find luxurious hotels, elegant restaurants, and a long line of bars and clubs for young people looking for nightlife.

The Hvar city marina is one of the best anchorages in Croatia and maybe of the Adriatic Sea. It is also the best starting point to discover the hundreds of coves and bays that make up Dalmatia.

Dubovica is probably the most famous beach on the island, a pebble beach with crystal clear sea.

• Day 6: Brac Island

Brac is the largest central Dalmatian island. Its beautiful Mediterranean landscape is characterized by steep cliffs, pine forests, and deep waters.

A day here can only be dedicated to the Zlatni Rat beach, or the “golden horn.” It is a very famous beach made of sand and pebbles in the shape of an arrowhead located in the village of Bol. It is so famous that it appears on most Dalmatian postcards.

• Day 7: Split

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia by population and an essential stop on a south-central Dalmatia yacht charter.

Among its attractions, it is certainly worth mentioning the splendid Diocletian’s Palace, a small town within the city built of precious white stone that creates a striking contrast with the color of the sea.

The elegant city center streets and the seafront allow visitors to shop while enjoying the city’s liveliness.

Split is also home to several cultural activities, including prestigious festivals, international movies and theater events, and traditional folk festivals.

If you are looking for nightlife, there is certainly no lack here, with a wide choice of pubs, clubs, and discos.
