Adriatic: Route from Dubrovnik to Split, tailor-made by car

Croatia, with its ancient cities, fantastic natural spaces and stunning Dalmatian coast has become one of the hottest destinations in the Mediterranean. Few places in Europe offer the magic and diversity you'll find on the route between the beautiful Croatian cities of Dubrovnik and Split, dotted with World Heritage monuments. Ahead lies a cultural, culinary and scenic itinerary that will help you escape the daily routine and feel the embrace of the Mediterranean at its magnificent beaches and coves lapped by turquoise waters. At our own pace, we'll cross the beautiful Peljesac peninsula, where we'll find authentic gastronomic temples as Mali Ston and Ston; amazing medieval walls that meander for more than 5 kilometres along rugged mountain tops; picture-postcard landscapes of vineyards bursting with history around the towns of Janjina and Potomje; and dreamlike beaches such as Orebić. On the beautiful and mysterious island of Korcula, birthplace of Marco Polo, we'll head through thick forests and roads that wind through luscious Mediterranean vegetation to reach beautiful cities like Korčula, fantastic beaches such as Lumbarda or Vela Luka, and charming villages that seem to be stuck in time. We'll continue on our route and marvel at the majestic palace of Diocletian in Split and the enchanting citadel of Trogir, both declared World Heritage Sites by UNESCO. Next stop is Solin, where it's easy to let your imagination flow and fantasise about what the ruins of Salona were like centuries ago when the roads were trodden by intrepid soldiers and famous Roman emperors. And the rich cultural heritage is complemented by the warm Croatian hospitality and incredible natural beauty, which each season draw in travellers from around the world. Its long coastline, with thousands of nooks and crannies ready to be explored, the amazing Krka National Park, the beautiful arboretum in Trsteno and the enigmatic island of Lokrum are just some of the eco-destinations that await you throughout the route. And remember: "The plan is your plan". If you want, you can extend your trip over in neighbouring Montenegro, where we recommend visiting Perast and Kotor; or the nearby towns of Pocitelj, Medjugorje and Mostar.
