Hotel Split
Upon arrival at Split airport, take a transfer to your hotel.
Freshen up and then enjoy a true introduction to the region: wine and olive oil tasting. The heritage of the ancient Greeks, the two are today essential ingredients of any Croatian meal, and you will savor them with a dash of modern zest, slowly catching on in this otherwise quite traditional area. A guide will uncover for you the secrets of the UNESCO protected Diocletian’s Palace. This Roman emperor spared no expense for the construction of a sumptuous residence, importing best quality marble, sphinx and columns. The original palace was modified by its new inhabitants during the middle Ages, but making it even more beautiful and what it is today: the city's living heart. Its narrow streets hide passageways and courtyards, some deserted and eerie, others lively and animated by the music from bars and cafes, or by the everyday life of its residents (3 hours).
Enjoy Split in the evening on your own.
After breakfast, set out to explore the shorelines surrounding Split.
You will visit Split and Trogir both with an Greeks, Romans, Venetians heritage. Still, over time, Split flourished into Croatia’s second largest city, while Trogir retained its small-scale charms. Start the day by visiting one of the most beautiful spots in Split, Meštrović gallery, hosting some of the most prominent sculptures of this world famous artist, disciple of Rodin. Learn about the stunning heritage in their UNESCO-listed historic centers, and visit their Cathedrals, St. Domnius in Split and St. Lawrence in Trogir.
After breakfast at the hotel, get on a private motorboat for a transfer to the stunning island of Hvar and its glitzy hotspot, the town of Hvar.
Hvar is the birthplace of organized tourism in Croatia and also the home of the oldest European public theater, but outside the town premises, the island still upkeeps its traditions, sloping vineyards and endless lavender groves.
