1 - Split

Without hiding their pride, the people of Split will tell you that their city is "the most beautiful one in the world and beyond". You better not discuss this with them for well spirited Split will convince you in this as soon as you discover it! This for ever young city with the population of about 200,000 that give it its warm Mediterranean temper, has lived its urban rhythm for as long as 1700 years, with its heart in the Diocletian Palace and its soul widespread to embrace you. Ever since the life of the city protected by the UNESCO and entered into the register of the World Cultural Heritage has been writing the history of this unique capital of Dalmatia.

The city of Split is situated in the warmest region of the northern Mediterranean coast, in the very centre of the Adriatic eastern coast and in the immediate vicinity of the rivers Jadro and Žrnovnica that have been watering it for 1700 years. Its mild climate, with 2700 sunny hours per year, makes it an oasis where, sheltered from the wind, sailors can enjoy the sun even in wintertime.

2 - Drvenik Veli

Drvenik Veli is an island in the central Dalmatia, placed northwest of the island of Solta, between the Drvenik and Solta Channels. The main occupations of people here are farming, viticulture, olive growing and fishing. The coast of this beautiful island is indented, with numerous coves and pebble beaches. This beautiful paradise is located just off the mainland of Croatia. The total population of the island is around 170 people. They make their living fishing, farming and inviting tourist to share the wonders of an ancient island. Only the village Drvenik Veliki is bigger village at island. At the coast are bays with sandy and pebbles beaches. The church of St. Juraj is located at Drvenik Veliki and was built at 16th century.

Crystal clear sea, hidden bays, cliffs, olive fields, carob, rosemary ... this is the tourist offer of Drvenik Veli, an island that has reported only 120 inhabitants. In the quest for peace, tranquility and virgin nature there is no need for our guests to give up the benefits of civilization. There are shops, one post office, a bakery and restaurants on the island.

3 - Primošten

The enchanting peninsula of Primošten is one of the most photogenic spots on the Adriatic coast. A shady path runs around the whole peninsula and you can stop along a cove or beach to take a dip in the crystal clear waters. There are no particular museums or "sights" in Primošten but the old medieval town has preserved a great deal of its ambience. The most striking feature of the old town is the church of St Juraj erected in 1485 and restored in 1760. The church is on a hill from which you get sweeping coastal views. Mention must be made of what is, for some, Primošten's star attraction--its disco! Aurora is the largest disco in Dalmatia and hugely popular throughout Croatia.

4 - Skradin

Skradin is simply magical in its each and every detail. In the loud morning silence that gets under your skin and the stentorian traditional folk ‘klapa’ singing that touches your heart. In the peace and quiet of the Visovac monastery and the burst of water drops of the Skradinski Buk waterfall. In each moment of enjoyment of food which has skillfully managed to escape both fridges and freezers which would rob it of its natural aromas and has arrived thoroughly fresh at your table. Such is Skradin, small, picturesque and filled with flavors, found at a point where the river passionately embraces the sea.

5 - Vodice

Vodice - with its surroundings is a truly miniature of all things Croatia can offer to visitors. Located in the privileged environment with some of the most important and beautiful National Parks of Croatia, Vodice is a popular travel destination. The town of Vodice is a famous tourist centre. It is a coastal town located in a wide bay, 11 km northwest from the town of Šibenik, the centre of Šibenik-knin County. It numbers 10,000 inhabitants, and is considered an ideal place for vacation where everyone can find something that they will enjoy.

Piskera is a small uninhabited island in the Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. It is one of the Kornati Islands in central Dalmatia and its area is 2.66 km². Its coastline is 10.64 km long. Although uninhabited, a marina with 150 berths operated by ACI Club is located on the island, open between March and October every year. Marina Piskera is sheltered from the worst of the winds by the offshore island Panitula Vela. In the past, Piskera and Panitula Vela were important centers for fishing and when the Venetians controlled the Kornati Islands, they had a customs post here for taxing the fish catch.
