Lazing on tucked-away bays, eating in harbourside cafés, hopping from one dozy island to the next – that's just a taste of what's in store on Dalmatian Coast and Islands holidays.
Mixed bag family
The Dalmatian Coast takes up a big portion of Croatia’s southern shoreline. Historic Split and Makarska are the big sisters, while towns like Tucepi and Podaca are the younger, sleepier siblings. Plus, the coast’s bumped up a kilometre or two by a sprinkling of beachy islands.
Seaside breaks
If you’re not a fan of sandy toes, you’re in for a treat here. The Dalmatian Coast champions pebbly beaches – the smooth, white kind. Top billing goes to Tucepi Beach – a long, shingle sweep backed by Mount Biokovo. Podaca also gets an honourable mention for its sunbed-free arc. Meanwhile, Brac Island’s the exception to the rule. It’s got sandy beaches, plus the famous Zlatni Rat.
Culture on tap
City-wise, everything revolves around Split. This place swiftly outgrew its original home – inside the Roman Diocletian’s Palace, and its streets are now chockfull of churches, bars and shops. Plus, it’s on the coast, which means you’ve got a stylish waterfront to strut down.
