Day 2

split croatia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 17:00

Split, Croatia’s vibrant coastal hub, blends ancient history with a lively Mediterranean atmosphere. At its heart lies Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that feels more like a living city than a museum. Wander its maze of marble streets, stumble upon hidden courtyards, and admire the mix of Roman, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. Don’t miss the Cathedral of Saint Domnius and the climb up its bell tower for sweeping views over the terracotta rooftops and sparkling Adriatic Sea. The city’s seaside promenade, the Riva, is where locals and visitors converge from morning coffee to late-night cocktails. Lined with palm trees, cafes, and restaurants, it’s the perfect place to people-watch and soak up the Dalmatian lifestyle. Just behind, the bustling Green Market and fish market offer a glimpse of everyday life in Split, with stalls piled high with fresh produce, local cheeses, and seafood straight from the Adriatic. For swimming and relaxation, head to Bačvice Beach, famous for its shallow waters and the local ball game “picigin,” or explore quieter pebbled beaches like Kašjuni and Firule. Nature lovers should hike or bike through Marjan Hill, a forested park offering panoramic viewpoints, small chapels, and secluded coves ideal for a peaceful dip. The shaded trails and sea breezes make it a refreshing escape from the city center. Split also serves as an excellent base for exploring the Dalmatian coast and islands. Everyday ferries and catamarans link the city to Hvar, Brač, Šolta, and Vis, each with its own character—from chic nightlife and vineyards to quiet fishing villages and hidden bays. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, foodie, beach lover, or island-hopper, Split offers a compelling mix of culture, relaxation, and adventure.

Day 3

dubrovnik, croatia

Arrival: 08:00 - Departure: 18:00

George Bernard Shaw referred to Dubrovnik as "the pearl of the Adriatic, a paradise on earth", and indeed, it might be one of the most stunning cities you'll ever witness. Predominantly constructed and long occupied by the Venetians, Dubrovnik exudes a regal charm and remarkable architectural harmony that attracts thousands of tourists every summer. Established in the 7th century, Dubrovnik was nestled amidst a vast oak forest, from which it derived its name. Take a stroll along the ancient city walls for panoramic views of the old town and the nearby coast. Just before leaving the old town through the western gate, make a right turn to visit the Franciscan Monastery and tranquil cloisters. Right at the entrance is Europe's oldest pharmacy, established in 1371. In the northern corner of the old city lies the Dominican Cloister and Museum, housing a polyptych by Titian. The majestic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is situated in the heart of Poljana Marin Držić and its treasury is open for visits; look out for the artwork by Raphael. Dubrovnik boasts warm, crystal-clear waters; don't just admire it from afar, take a plunge. The adventurous can dive and sunbathe along the rocks or swim around the city walls while others marvel from above. Dubrovnik's formidable battlements shine in the early morning light, but by early afternoon, the sea's pristine blue waters lure you away from the city and its tourist noise. If you can handle the crowd, you might also discover a slice of paradise.
