Holidays to the Dalmatian Coast offer all the Croatian must-haves – historical sights, pine-backed pebbly beaches, and net-fresh seafood.
Croatian coast
Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast runs along the western edge of the country. The hub of the coastline is the city of Split, which is crammed full of UNESCO-listed sights and museums. Branching away from it, you’ll find picturesque seaside towns and islands made for daytripping.
Historical Split
The city of Split centres around Diocletian’s Palace, which was built in the 3rd century as a retirement home for a Roman emperor. Cocooned within its old walls are shops, bars and restaurants, as well as a couple of cathedrals. Outside, you’ll find the Riva promenade, a smart new waterfront area made for evening strolls.
Beach resorts
Head south out of the city to the Makarska Riviera and you’ll find the sort of pine-edged beaches you see on Croatian postcards. The towns of Brela, Tucepi and Zivogosce line up pebbled coves and bays, and calm, gin-clear waters that are ideal for swimming.
Island daytrips
The waters off the Dalmatian coast are speckled with islands. Head to A-list hangout Hvar for chic restaurants and trendy waterside bars. Alternatively, pack your towel and make for Brac – the island’s home to one of Croatia’s most famous beaches.
