Croatia: Hvar Island and Split's Route, tailor-made by car

This is a journey through centuries of history, attractive landscapes and some of Croatia's most magical corners, which will take you to the ancient city of Split and Hvar, one of the most stunning islands in the world. The jaw-dropping Dalmatian coast wins over even the most experienced traveller with its sensational beaches, exquisite cuisine, unique scenery and a vibrant and contagious Mediterranean spirit. Split is one of those cities whose history is worthy of a movie plot. In fact, the opulent Diocletian's Palace, the amazing complex declared a World Heritage Site, has been one of the main locations for the blockbusting TV series Game of Thrones. We'll round off our trip by touring the graceful island of Hvar, a natural paradise famous throughout Europe for its chic and exclusive atmosphere. Driving around Hvar is a real treat. Its 2,700 hours of sunshine a year, its beach clubs frequented by artists and celebrities, its white pebble beaches and pristine waters, its dense lavender-blanketed landscapes, its views out to an azure sea dotted with luxury yachts... all make it a truly unforgettable place. From Split, you can go on interesting trips to the ancient pirate town of Omiš, the ruins of Salona (Solin), or the charming medieval town of Trogir. Nature lovers will find a haven in the Krka National Park (trip from Split) or the idyllic Pakleni Islands (trip from Hvar).
