A Thing or Two About Split and Dubrovnik: The Pillars of Your Island Journey
On our Croatia Islands Private Tour 9 Days, Split and Dubrovnik serve as the magnificent bookends of your Adriatic adventure. While both are UNESCO World Heritage sites, each offers a completely unique atmosphere that your driver guide in Croatia will help you uncover. Split: A Living Roman Palace is not just a city; it is a 1,700-year-old living monument. The heart of the city is Diocletian’s Palace, built for the Roman Emperor at the turn of the 4th century. Unlike other ancient ruins, people still live, shop, and drink coffee within these Roman walls today. As the main hub for our multi day tours, Split is the perfect jumping-off point for exploring islands like Hvar and Brač. Dubrovnik: The Unconquerable Pearl. As the spectacular finale of your 9-day journey, Dubrovnik greets you with its iconic terracotta roofs and massive stone fortifications. Known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, this former city-state (Ragusa) was a powerful maritime rival to Venice. Walking its 2-kilometer-long walls offers breathtaking views of the sea you just traversed. Your private driver-guide will ensure you experience the ‘Old Town’ beyond the usual tourist paths, finding the best local spots and sunset viewpoints.
