Split, Hvar, Korčula, and Dubrovnik 9 days

Upon arrival at Split airport, one of our cars will take you to the hotel for check-in.

The rest of the day will be to relax and begin to enjoy one of the largest and oldest cities in the country.

Split has several tourist areas. In the center, Diocletian's Palace, which mixes Roman and medieval heritage. Around it, the squares, towers and Venetian mansions, to the west the most humble Fisherman's Quarter, the wooded mountain of the Marján Park and to the south the port, the promenade and some small beaches. It is the city with the perfect combination of beach, history, nature and good food.

Greca Tip: As you stroll along the Riva promenade, don't miss the chance to savor a traditional plate of "cevapi," a beloved local dish.

You will start your day with a delicious breakfast to recharge your energy and thus enjoy your free day in the beautiful city of Split, the capital of the Dalmatia region.

In recent years, the city has emerged as one of the country's premier tourist destinations, drawing visitors from far and wide to explore its rich history and stunning Adriatic coastline. As you stroll along its picturesque medieval streets, you'll encounter a plethora of historically, architecturally, and culturally significant landmarks, many of which are nestled within the walls of Diocletian's Palace.

Commissioned by Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century as a retreat for his twilight years, this architectural marvel fell into disuse in the 6th century before being repurposed by the locals, transforming it into the vibrant heart of the city. 

Today, the Roman edifices house a vibrant array of homes, boutiques, and eateries, offering visitors an immersive journey through time. Don't miss the chance to explore the revered "Golden Gate", which marks the grand entrance to this historic complex.

You can also walk and marvel at the constructions located around the central courtyard, called the Peristyle. Another important place to visit is the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, where you will find the Mausoleum of Diocletian. You can also explore the underground passages, which are of great historical importance.

Greca Tip: From the cathedral bell tower, you will have wonderful views of the entire city.

After a delicious breakfast, you'll be transferred to the port, where you'll board a ferry or catamaran to Hvar Island.

Hvar boasts being the longest island in the Adriatic, adorned with unspoiled forests, pristine white beaches, vineyards, and lavender fields. Its city exudes charm with a blend of architectural styles—Gothic, Renaissance—and is rich in history, marked by the influence of the Venetian aristocracy.

Notable landmarks include St. Stephen's Cathedral, an exquisite Renaissance masterpiece nestled in the heart of the main square, alongside the Franciscan Monastery, the Ancient Theater (Europe's oldest public theater), and the majestic Spanish Fortress, a testament to Venetian craftsmanship.

Beyond exploring the old town's cobblestone streets, indulge in shopping, dining at cozy cafes, or unwinding on the island's picturesque beaches.

Greca Tip: The best sunset views can be enjoyed from the Spanish Fortress.

After a delicious breakfast, we will have the day free to continue exploring this fascinating place and its surroundings at our own pace. We can choose to wander through the old town and its narrow streets in search of unforgettable corners.

Greca Tip: Get lost in the streets of the historic center.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast, we'll head to the port for boarding a ferry or catamaran bound for the island of Korcula, often referred to as the "Black Corfu" by the Greeks due to its lush greenery.

Upon arrival in the city, we'll check into our hotel and settle in.

Korcula city presents itself as a quintessential Dalmatian medieval village, adorned with red defense towers and colorful rooftops. Legend has it that Marco Polo, the intrepid explorer who ventured to China and Mongolia, was born here, and his museum is just one of the many cultural attractions waiting to be explored in Korcula.

Greca Tip: Savor the regional and seafood delicacies offered at the traditional coastal taverns.

After a delicious breakfast, you'll have the day free to continue exploring Korcula and its surroundings at your own pace.

One recommendation is to explore the surroundings, where just 6 kilometers away you'll find the village of Lumbarda, surrounded by vineyards, rural houses, and small sandy beaches. In Lumbarda, you can enjoy seafood in one of its numerous taverns accompanied by its typical white wine, Grk. Another option, if you're not a fan of seafood, is to try the country's typical cheeses and local wine.

If you prefer to enjoy the beach and diving, you can visit other fishing villages along the south coast such as Putnatska Luka, Brna, Prizba, and Potirna.

At the end of the day, you'll be staying in Korcula.

Greca Tip: Don't miss trying the delicious Dalmatian ham at any of the local taverns.

After a revitalizing breakfast in the morning, you'll have free time until the afternoon transfer to the port of Korcula to board the ferry bound for Dubrovnik. Upon arrival in Dubrovnik, transportation will be waiting to take you to your hotel.

This beautiful walled city sits along the shores of the Adriatic Sea and has a rich history of being ruled by the Byzantines, Venetians, Hungarians, and Turks. In 1979, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its historical significance.

Dubrovnik suffered greatly during the war with Serbia, and its scars still remain despite efforts to restore the city to its former glory. On December 6, 1991, it was heavily bombed, with over 2000 bombs falling on it, resulting in the destruction of many buildings.

Today is designed for you to enjoy Dubrovnik, explore its beautiful streets, mingle with the locals, and experience its shops and establishments. In Dubrovnik, you'll find not only stunning stone beaches with unique charm, but also a cultural scene that offers an elegant experience.

After a peaceful and fabulous breakfast, you will have the day free to enjoy "The Pearl of the Adriatic."

Dubrovnik is a walled city dating back to the 7th century, full of contrasts and fusion that continues to enchant its visitors. Strolling within the walled area, we will reminisce about hundreds of years of history. Its walls and towers are considered the main attraction of the city, and from there we can capture breathtaking panoramic photos.

You shouldn't miss a visit to the Church of St. Blaise (1715), located in the heart of the city, the Stradun Street, the main artery of the city, where we will find bars and shops, and also the Franciscan Monastery and its church (14th century), home to the oldest pharmacy in the world.

To further explore the city's history, we recommend visiting the Sponza Palace, which dates back to the 16th century. We can also take a funicular ride to Mount Srđ to enjoy the views and have a good cup of coffee.
