Split
Split, the crown jewel of Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast, invites you to experience its rich tapestry of history and modern vibrancy. At its heart lies the majestic Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site where ancient Roman walls embrace bustling cafes, artisan shops, and charming alleyways. The lively Riva promenade offers a perfect setting to savor local Mediterranean delicacies while gazing at the sparkling Adriatic Sea. For beach lovers, Split’s pristine shores provide the ultimate retreat, while adventurers can explore the nearby islands or ascend Marjan Hill for breathtaking vistas. A destination where past meets present, Split promises unforgettable moments for every traveler.
Trogir
Trogir is a small medieval island town 25 kilometres west of Split, with an entire UNESCO-listed Old Town built on a 600-metre island connected to the mainland by a stone bridge. The harbour wraps around the island and most charter boats moor on the Riva — a marble waterfront promenade lined with stone Venetian palaces, the 13th-century Cathedral of St Lawrence, and Roman ruins under glass in the streets. From Trogir, the islands of Šolta, Brač, and the western Dalmatian coast all open within a half-day's sail. The marina just west of the Old Town is one of Croatia's busiest charter hubs. Season runs May through October.
Skradin
Skradin is a small medieval town set 13 kilometres inland from the Adriatic at the head of a long fjord-like estuary, where the freshwater Krka River meets the sea. Yachts can sail right up the channel from the Adriatic and tie up at the town quay. The town itself is a knot of stone houses around a 13th-century church; the draw is Krka National Park just upstream, where the Krka cascades through limestone barriers in seven tiered waterfalls. The main fall, Skradinski Buk, drops 46 metres across a series of travertine terraces — accessible by national park electric boats from Skradin pier. Skradin is 30 minutes from Šibenik. Season runs May through October.
Šibenik
Šibenik sits on the central Dalmatian coast where the Krka river estuary meets the Adriatic, sheltered from the open sea by the long narrow island of Krapanj and the St Anthony channel. The Old Town climbs a steep hill behind the harbour, and at its heart stands the Cathedral of St James — a 15th-century triple-naved church built entirely without mortar, with a unique frieze of 71 carved portrait heads around the outside. The roof was reconstructed in stone after wartime damage, making it the largest stone-vaulted structure in the world. Three Renaissance fortresses surround the town. Šibenik is 30 minutes from Krka National Park, an hour from the Kornati Islands. Season runs April through October.
National Park Kornati
The Kornati Islands form the densest archipelago in the Mediterranean — 89 islands packed into 320 square kilometres of central Croatian water, all part of a national park since 1980. The islands are nearly treeless karst limestone, white in the sun, and the channels between them run deep — the famous crowns on the south side drop 80 metres straight into the sea cliff. Only one road exists on the largest island (Kornat); the rest are reached only by boat. A handful of family-run robinson konobas serve grilled fish at hidden coves, run by shepherds who row in supplies. Kornati is 60 minutes from Murter and 90 minutes from Zadar. Season runs April through October.
Zadar
Zadar is the largest city on the northern Dalmatian coast, built on a small peninsula that juts into the Adriatic. The Old Town walks across the remains of a Roman forum that's still partially visible in the main square, with a 9th-century Byzantine church (Saint Donatus) built directly on the Roman foundations. On the western waterfront, two installations make the harbour a destination in itself: the Sea Organ uses hidden pipes under marble steps to turn the waves into musical chords, and Greeting to the Sun is a 22-metre solar-powered disc that lights up after sunset. Zadar is 90 minutes from the Kornati Islands. Season runs April through October.
Murter
Murter is a small Croatian island connected to the mainland by a stone bridge, just north of Šibenik — and the closest charter base to the Kornati Islands National Park, the 89-island archipelago that's the most spectacular sailing ground in the Adriatic. The marina at Hramina handles 400 berths and serves as the launching point for Kornati day-sails and overnight loops. The island itself holds four small villages, all originally olive-and-fishing communities, and a string of pebble beaches on the western coast. Most charter routes from Murter run southwest into the park's labyrinth of empty channels. Murter is 30 minutes from Šibenik and an hour from Zadar. Season runs April through October.
Rogoznica
Rogoznica is a small Dalmatian village built on a sheltered peninsula halfway between Šibenik and Split — best known as the home of Marina Frapa, a 400-berth full-service marina that's a popular halfway stop on cruises down the coast. The village itself is small but full of waterfront tavernas serving the day's catch from the fishing fleet. A 15-minute walk inland reaches the Dragon's Eye (Zmajevo Oko), a perfectly round saltwater lake 15 metres deep that fills a karst sinkhole; the water turns layers of red and green from a sulphurous bottom. Rogoznica is 90 minutes from Šibenik and 2 hours from Split. Season runs April through October.
Šolta
Šolta sits 9 nautical miles southwest of Split and gets a fraction of the visitors of its larger neighbours Brač and Hvar. The island holds three small fishing villages along the south coast and one larger harbour at Maslinica in the west, where seven uninhabited islets shelter the bay. The interior is olive groves and vineyards growing the rare Dobričić grape — one of the parent varieties of Plavac Mali. Swimming bays at Stračinska, Šešula, and Senjska stay quiet even in August. Šolta is 30 minutes from Split by sail. Season runs May through October.
