From Split to Split.

On the sun-drenched island of Šolta, Maslinica is a storybook harbor village built around a 1708 castle. This serene escape offers a taste of authentic island life with cobblestone lanes, waterfront tavernas serving the day’s catch, and wines made from native grapes. Nearby coves reveal pebbled beaches and crystalline waters, while Šipkova Bay offers rare sandy shores and glorious sunsets. Pine forests and hiking trails provide the perfect backdrop for a leisurely afternoon ashore.

Bathed in sunshine, Hvar is Croatia’s glamorous jewel—an island of lavender fields, olive groves, and a rich blend of Venetian, Roman, and Greek influences. Stroll the old town’s marble streets, visit the hilltop fortress for panoramic views, or wander the Franciscan Monastery to see its renowned Last Supper painting. Just offshore, the Pakleni Islands tempt with hidden beaches and turquoise bays.

Vis, known to the ancient Greeks as Issa, is an island where time seems to pause. Tucked into a sheltered bay, the town is a captivating mix of history, culture, and culinary excellence. Its isolation for much of the 20th century preserved its authentic Mediterranean charm. Explore its cobblestone streets, enjoy a leisurely seafood lunch, and discover the island’s secrets both on land and beneath the waves.

Korčula, often called the “Emerald Isle,” is famed for its dense forests, elegant old town, and deep-rooted traditions. Enclosed by medieval walls, the town’s winding alleys open onto sunny squares and sea views. Sample local Grk wine at a family-run vineyard, wander the lively markets, and soak up the island’s storied history—Korčula is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo.

Tucked into a sheltered bay on Hvar’s northern coast, Jelsa is a charming harbor town framed by pine forests, lavender fields, and vineyards. Its relaxed pace invites long lunches by the water and unhurried swims in the clear Adriatic. Narrow streets lead to shaded squares, while nearby coves promise peaceful anchorage.

Stari Grad, one of Europe’s oldest towns, is steeped in history and framed by olive groves and vineyards. Its harbor is dotted with yachts, and its streets are rich with archaeological treasures. Visit the Stari Grad Museum, explore the UNESCO-listed Stari Grad Plain, or anchor in one of the nearby bays for a swim in pristine waters.

On the island of Brač, Bol is home to Zlatni Rat, Croatia’s most iconic beach, its golden spit shifting shape with the wind and tide. The old town charms with stone houses, Gothic churches, and a 15th-century palace. Visit hillside vineyards, explore the 16th-century Blaca Monastery, or hike to Vidova Gora for breathtaking views over the Adriatic.

Split, Croatia’s vibrant coastal hub, blends ancient history with modern energy. At its heart lies Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site where Roman walls frame lively squares, cafes, and boutiques. Wander its maze of streets, sip local wine in hidden courtyards, or relax on nearby beaches such as Bacvice and Kasjuni before concluding your Adriatic adventure.
