While sailing is at the forefront of everything we do, that doesn’t mean we can’t admire Croatia’s coastal roads, especially when they’re as breathtaking as they are here. Croatia’s coastline is no walk in the park, though, spanning over 3,600 miles as one of the longest coastlines in the Mediterranean. Each portion promotes a unique perk of Croatia’s Adriatic charm, from the heights of Istria to the depths of Dubrovnik. But one part, in particular, is noted as the most popular - the drive from Split to Dubrovnik.

Meet Croatia’s second-largest city, the capital of Dalmatia, and the former retirement home of Emperor Diocletian. Does it get much better than that?

A Renaissance, Baroque, Romanesque and Gothic dream that sits on Croatia’s coast, with UNESCO charm and Mediterranean calm. Meet Trogir, a museum town that abounds in history, artistic masters, and magnificent stone buildings that have survived its turbulent past. 

Only nine nautical miles away from Split, Šolta is the closest island to Diocletian’s kingdom. However, it is a lesser-known tourism destination praised for its royalty of olives, honey, and indigenous wine.

Brač is most well-known for its famous Zlatni Rat beach, the poster-child for Croatian tourism; however, this is just the tip of the iceberg or in this case – beach. Brač island has thousands of years of history. Covered in cypress trees, olive groves and vineyards, it is a lush green paradise begging to be explored.

Yo ho, yo ho, it’s a pirate's life for anyone visiting the town of Omiš! Once a base for buccaneers in the 12th and 14th centuries, this picturesque town is set at the mouth of the Cetina River, between the busier cities of Split and Makarska.
