Primošten
Primošten sits on the central Dalmatian coast 30 kilometres south of Šibenik — a 15th-century fishing village built on a small rocky cape that was originally an offshore islet, connected to the mainland by a stone causeway built when the Ottomans approached in the 1500s. The medieval Old Town climbs the cape, with a tight grid of stone houses culminating in the church of Saint George at the top — the bell tower is the visual centre of the village from the sea. The harbour below holds visiting yacht moorings and a row of seafront konobas. The surrounding mainland holds the Primošten vineyards on red karst soil — a UNESCO-recognised cultural landscape — and produce the indigenous Babić red wine. Primošten is 60 minutes from Šibenik north and 90 minutes from Trogir south. 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.
Kornati Island
Kornati Island is the largest of the 140 islands and islets of the Kornati National Park, the most dramatic sailing area on the Croatian Adriatic. The park covers 220 square kilometres of mostly uninhabited limestone islands — a 25-kilometre archipelago that George Bernard Shaw called \"the gods' last work in stone\". The islands have almost no vegetation, just bare karst limestone, sheep paths, and the rare summer-only konobas (family restaurants) on a handful of islands. The seaward outer side of the chain holds the famous Kornati cliffs (crowns) — vertical limestone walls dropping 80 metres into the sea. The interior side holds sheltered anchorages on every island. The whole park requires a daily entry permit, available on most charter pickups. Kornati is 60 minutes from Murter and 90 minutes from Sukošan. Season runs April through October.
Vis
Vis is the furthest inhabited Croatian island from the mainland — 50 kilometres offshore — and was a closed Yugoslav naval base until 1989, which kept it free of large-scale development. The result: original stone fishing villages, untouched coast, and a slower pace than anywhere else in Dalmatia. Vis Town on the north coast and Komiža on the west are the two main harbours, both with classic Venetian-Dalmatian architecture. The neighbouring islet of Biševo holds the famous Blue Cave — a sea cave where midday sunlight refracts through an underwater opening, turning the chamber electric blue. Vis is 4 hours from Split by sail. Season runs May through October.
Hvar
Hvar is a beautiful island in Croatia known for its sunny weather, clear blue sea, and lovely towns. It's one of the most famous islands in the Adriatic Sea.
Historic Towns
The main town, also called Hvar, has old buildings and a big fortress on a hill. You can walk up to the fortress to see amazing views of the sea and the island.
Gorgeous Beaches
Hvar has many beaches like Pokonji Dol and Dubovica where you can swim in clear water and relax on the shore.Lavender
Fields and Nature
The island is also known for its lavender fields, olive trees, and vineyards. You can explore the countryside to see beautiful nature and maybe buy some lavender oil.
Cute Streets and Fun Nights
Hvar Town has narrow streets with shops, cafes, and restaurants. At night, it's a lively place with bars and parties, especially popular with young people.
Boat Trips and Water Fun
You can take a boat to see the Pakleni Islands close by, which have quiet beaches and clear water. Kayaking and sailing are also fun things to do in Hvar.
Delicious Food
Hvar offers great food, especially seafood and dishes made with local olive oil and wine.
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.
Primošten Return
Primošten marks the final stop of your unforgettable Adriatic adventure.
