Dalmatia Blues
A Journey Through Sea, History, and Culture
Your Journey
Welcome to Split
Welcome to Croatia! Upon arrival to Split Airport you will be meet by your chauffeur for private transfer and check in to Hotel Ambasador 5* - exclusive hotel, located on a waterfront promenade, with splendid views of Split port and the islands. Historic old town, restaurants and bars are just a few steps away from your hotel. Settle in and relax after your flight. Enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.
Split & Trogir
Meet your local guide after breakfast for a pleasant walk through Split and its Diocletian's Palace, exploring the bustling markets and charming shops. The palace, the ancient heart of present - day Split, is one of the best - preserved examples of a Roman imperial residence and was originally Emperor Diocletian's summer home. Split developed as a city after the Roman capital of Dalmatia, Salona, was invaded. More than 3,000 people continue to live within these ancient walls. Split is a "living ruin," offering not only historical treasures but also the vibrant Dalmatian way of life. Your guide will bring the city to life with fascinating stories and insights from its rich history and culture. Continue with your guide and chauffeur to Trogir, a beautiful coastal town and UNESCO World Heritage Site, located just 30 minutes north of Split. Unlike Roman Split, Trogir has Greek roots. Its crown jewel is the spectacular 13th - century Cathedral of St. Lawrence, whose elaborate portal, carved in 1280, hints at the wonders within. Return to Split in the afternoon hours and enjoy the rest of the day at your leisure.
Krka Waterfalls NP
After breakfast, head to Krka Waterfalls National Park. Formed by centuries of travertine deposits, the Krka River is a true karst marvel, cutting a dramatic canyon along its 70 - kilometer route from the foothills of the Dinara Mountains to its breathtaking estuary beneath the ancient walls of Šibenik. Stroll along the park's winding wooden walkways, explore the open - air ethnographic museum and browse charming artisan shops located in the restored watermills at Skradinski Buk. Return to Split in the afternoon hours and enjoy evening at leisure. We suggest taking a walk to Marjan Hill and Vidilica panoramic spot for stunning views of the town and a refreshing drink.
Blue Cave, Vis & Hvar
Check out after breakfast and meet your chauffeur for short transfer to Split marina where you will meet up with your skipper and board a private motor boat for a full day adventure on the sea. Sail out toward Biševo and Vis islands. These islands are renowned for their stunning inlets and caves, the most famous being Modra Špilja (the Blue Cave), accessible only by boat. On a sunny day, sunlight streams through an underwater passage, reflecting off the sea bottom and filling the cave with an incredible glowing azure light. Afterwards, continue exploring the hidden coves and beaches of Vis Island, some of the most breathtaking spots in Croatia are found here. The most famous is Stiniva Cove, a dramatic beach reached through a narrow opening - once the entrance to a large cave - that opens into a wide pebble beach surrounded by 35 - meter - high cliffs. Truly outstanding! Continue to Pakleni Archipelago islands. These islands are located off the southwest coast of the island of Hvar , opposite the entrance to the Hvar town. In the afternoon hours arrive to Hvar town for check in to Hotel Palace Elisabeth 5* and overnight.
Hvar
After breakfast meet up with your local guide for a full day exploration of Croatian sunniest island. During your guided walking tour, you will encounter numerous hidden gems, including the 550 - year - old Franciscan Monastery and the Benedictine Convent, where nuns continue the delicate tradition of lace - making from agave fibers - a craft recognized as one of Hvar's four UNESCO cultural heritages. Your visit culminates at the Spanish Fortress, offering sweeping panoramic views of the town and the glittering Pakleni Islands stretching across the harbor. The UNESCO legacy continues as you journey eastward to the Stari Grad Plain, an 80 - hectare agricultural expanse founded by the Ancient Greeks in 384 BC. Enjoy traditional lunch in an abandoned village of Malo Grablje - once a bustling agricultural settlement, it was abandoned in the early 20th century when residents moved closer to the coast for better opportunities. Today, its stone houses and narrow streets stand frozen in time, offering a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into Hvar's rural past. Return to Hvar in the afternoon hours and enjoy evening in Hvar at your leisure.
Ston & Dubrovnik
After breakfast and check out board fast ferry for Split. Upon arrival to Split port meet up with your chauffeur and head to Dubrovnik with en route stop in Ston bay. The villages of Ston and Mali Ston are renowned for their outstanding local specialties - oysters, mussels, olive oils, and wines - a true celebration of Dalmatian flavors. A short boat ride will take you to the oyster farms tucked into the sheltered bays. Enjoy oysters pulled straight from the sea, opened and savored on the spot. Your host's family has been dedicated to oyster farming for generations, carrying on traditions and skills passed down over the years. Afterward, unwind in the shade and indulge in a spread of fresh oysters, mussels, local olive oil and wine. After lunch continue to Dubrovnik and check in to Hotel Excelsior 5* - hotel with impeccable service and priviledged location, next to the Ploče gates of Old town. In the afternoon hours meet your local guide for a private guided tour. A magnificent city with its incredible fortified Old Town, Dubrovnik is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Croatia's most popular destinations. Stroll along the main pedestrian thoroughfare - Stradun, where centuries of wear have smoothed the white stone, creating a beautiful promenade lined with cafés, shops, and historic landmarks at either end. Marvel at splendid churches, monasteries, and museums adorned with intricately carved stone facades, reflecting the city's eventful history and vibrant artistic tradition. Return to your hotel on your own after the tour and enjoy evening at leisure.
