Croatia’s two most historic cities, Split and Dubrovnik, are separated by one of the Mediterranean’s most attractive stretches of coastline.

Journey along the stunning Dalmatian coast and unravel the fascinating history of Croatia through the well-preserved fortified cities, cathedrals and palaces. Begin in UNESCO-listed Dubrovnik, famously described as ‘The Pearl of the Adriatic’ by Lord Byron. Take the ferry to the picturesque island of Hvar to explore the mediaeval old town and fortress. Finally board another ferry to cruise along the Adriatic to Split, where highlights include two beautifully preserved Roman buildings; the Diocletian’s Palace and the Cathedral of St Domnius.
