A beautifully paced private journey through Dalmatia, from Split to Dubrovnik
This is a beautifully balanced Dalmatian route for travellers who want the coast, islands, food, and historic towns all within one journey. It has the easy appeal of island hopping, but with a broader, richer experience of Dalmatia along the way.
It begins in Split, moves out to Hvar and Korčula, then continues south through Ston to Dubrovnik, with time for Cavtat and Konavle.
The pace feels balanced throughout, with generous time to enjoy each stop without hurry. Although the route includes a great deal, it still leaves space for the Adriatic to feel as it should — relaxed, sunlit, and full of character.
Split begins the journey with Roman history, old stone streets, and a city that still feels very much alive. Trogir adds a smaller, more compact historic centre, with its Venetian charm and beautiful Cathedral. Hvar and Korčula bring the sea properly into the trip, with island towns, coves, and a more relaxed Dalmatian rhythm. A boat trip to Vis will delight you in every way.
Ston makes a memorable stop on the way south, known for its food and wine, celebrated oysters, and impressive 5.5-kilometre walls. Dubrovnik ends the journey with the unmistakable character of its walled Old Town. Cavtat and Konavle add a softer final contrast through countryside and the cultural heritage of the Croatian south.
