Most visitors prefer Croatia for its pebble beaches, but outside the city limits where you will really feel what the Dalmatian coast has to offer.

Filled with Cyprus-shaded castle walls and biodiversity national parks, this part of the south runs from Rab Island to the Gulf of Koto.

Fortunately, most destinations are well connected to the city’s airports, which means you can be unveiled on a yacht on Split or Vis Island in three hours.

And to reach the hidden gems like Makarska Riviera and Mlaget Island – and an offbeat route – to get there, the journey is perfect for idyllic caves surrounded by turquoise waters and dramatic rocky vegetation.

Dubrovnik’s Old Town is known as one of the best and most well-preserved medieval cities in the world, mapped by a maze of eleventh-century stone walls, with huge historic castles and scenic walkways overlooking the spectacular blue sea.

Visit the Rector’s Palace and other Game of Thrones landmarks before ascending the Mineta Castle to enjoy a panoramic view of the King’s landing.

Take a tour of the Lovrijenac castle
Although this landmark is less than a mile from Dubrovnik’s Focal Center, the world is far from the history of the city of St. Lawrence Fortress. Although most of the architecture is relatively modern, chronologists have identified the fort as 1018 or 1038 – and an important structure to resist Venetian rule.

Pop a historic landmark standing on a 100-foot rock, or take a 15-minute walk around the Gulf of California and climb the stairs after sunset for a thrilling view.
Riva in Split is a busy boardwalk with shady beaches and a great place to get a cocktail and see some people. First, there is the south wall of the Diocletian palace, which includes cafes and palm trees in the cobblestone alley. Walk along the Marmantova shopping strip, where most shops are open at night.

There are also art galleries, local handicraft boutiques, potholes, and a vibrant carbide market. Toss at several European-style restaurants – plus a three-mile-long white-tiled promenade – and you’ll find out why this waterfront in Split is the most recommended place.

Spend a Sunday in the Marjan Mountains
Marjan Hill is a natural reserve located on the Split Peninsula, home to the art enclaves of the famous artist Ivan Mestrovic. The view is located high above the Marjan Park-Forest, which overlooks it.

You get panoramic views of the sea, the Old Town and the countryside from the hills. Many of the pleasures of trekking in the Marjan Mountains are wandering through dense pine forests and lined paths in the Adriatic Sea and appreciating the conservation of nature away from the city.

It is impossible to make your way through the old town of Sibenik without being fascinated by the majesty of this Gothic stone-based basilica.

Built by Northern Italian, Dalmatian and Tuscan artists, St. James’s Cathedral is a proud UNESCO World Heritage Site and the most memorable landmark of the Croatian Renaissance.
