As you leave Split, embark on a scenic drive along the stunning Adriatic coastline. Stop by the picturesque town of Omis, nestled between the Cetina River and the Adriatic Sea. Here, you can indulge in adrenaline-pumping activities such as river rafting, zip-lining, and rock climbing. Don't forget to take a moment to admire the magnificent views of the surrounding cliffs.

Continue your journey south to Makarska, a coastal town that offers a perfect blend of nature and entertainment. Spend a day unwinding on the famous Makarska Riviera, known for its stunning sandy beaches and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Indulge in water sports such as snorkeling and paddleboarding, or simply relax under the warm Mediterranean sun.

Immerse Yourself in History

Leaving Makarska behind, head towards the historic city of Dubrovnik. On your way, make a stop at the charming town of Ston, famous for its ancient defensive walls. Take a leisurely walk along the walls, built in the 14th century, and soak in the breathtaking views of the town and its surrounding landscapes. Don't miss the opportunity to taste the famous Ston oysters, considered a delicacy in Croatia.

Arriving in Dubrovnik, prepare to be enchanted by its UNESCO-listed Old Town. Walk along the iconic city walls that surround the historic center, and immerse yourself in the rich history and culture that seeps through every stone. Explore the narrow streets and hidden alleys, visit the impressive Rector's Palace, and enjoy panoramic views from Mount Srdj.

Delight in Cultural Experiences

While in Dubrovnik, don't miss the opportunity to attend a traditional Croatian music performance or a theatrical play at one of the city's historical venues. Sample delicious local cuisine, such as black risotto and octopus salad, at one of the many charming restaurants scattered throughout the Old Town. End your day by savoring a glass of Dalmatian wine as you watch the sun set over the sparkling Adriatic Sea.

As you conclude your journey from Split to Dubrovnik, you will have experienced the best that Dalmatia has to offer. From exploring ancient Roman ruins to indulging in thrilling outdoor activities, and immersing yourself in the rich history and culture, Croatia will leave you with unforgettable memories. So, pack your bags and embark on an adventure to discover the hidden gems of Croatia!
