  • Split & Central Dalmatia
    © Lonely Planet Publications 216 Split & Central Dalmatia Central Dalmatia is the most action-packed, sight-rich and diverse part of Croatia, with dozens of castles, fascinating islands, spectacular beaches, dramatic mountains, quiet ports and an emerg- ing culinary scene, not to mention Split’s Diocletian Palace and medieval Trogir (both Unesco World Heritage sites). In short, this part of Croatia will grip even the most picky visitor. The region stretches from Trogir in the northwest to Ploče in the southeast. Split is its largest city and a hub for bus and boat connections along the Adriatic coast. The rugged DALMATIA DALMATIA 1500m-high Dinaric Range provides the dramatic background to the region. SPLIT & CENTRAL SPLIT & CENTRAL Diocletian’s Palace is a sight like no other (a Roman ruin and the living soul of Split) and it would be a cardinal Dalmatian sin to miss out on the sights, bars, restaurants and general buzz inside it. The Roman ruins in Solin are altogether a more quiet, pensive affair, while Trogir is a tranquil city that’s preserved its fantastic medieval sculpture and architecture. Then there is Hvar Town, the region’s most popular destination, richly ornamented with Renais- sance architecture, good food, a fun atmosphere and tourists – who are in turn ornamented with deep tans, big jewels and shiny yachts. Let’s not forget the coastline: you can choose from the slender and seductive Zlatni Rat on Brač, wonderful beaches in Brela on the Makarska Riviera, secluded coves on Brač, Šolta and Vis, or gorgeous (and nudie) beaches on the Pakleni Islands off Hvar.

KLEMENT - NEAR HVAR) – KAŠTELA DAY 1: KAŠTELA - BOBOVIŠĆE BAY (ISLAND BRAČ) - 15 MILES Starting from our home Port- Marina Kaštela we recommend visiting Bobovišće bay - island Brač, where you can decide either to moor in small port or to use a buoy (recommended). Bobovišće is a small village, with 2 restaurants, small waterfront, and relaxing pine wood around very quiet natural bay. DAY 2: BOBOVIŠĆE BAY (ISLAND BRAČ) - STARI GRAD (ISLAND HVAR) With similar distance like in first day of your trip, you are reaching Stari Grad before lunch time. Again, you are having opportunity to choose between mooring at city key or using buoy. This time we recommend mooring, since it is possible that you would need to re-charge your batteries or refill your water. It is also easier to enjoy city-life of Stari Grad while you are moored at the very centre. Stari Grad is the oldest town in Croatia. For sure you will be enjoying while exploring narrow streets and seeing many old stone houses, shops and taverns. Use your day not only for water-fun, also for seeing old city and visiting one of cafes or taverns.

It stretches from the slopes of the Alps and deep into the Pannonian Valley to the banks of the Danube and. Thus according to its natural characteristics, as well as its cultural and historical development, Croatia can be divided into three geographically distinct zones: - the Coastal region - the Mountain region - the Pannonian region. Like many countries in Western Europe, Croatia was founded on the ruins of the Roman Empire. When they arrived in the territory of present-day Croatia, the Croats were politicaly organized in principalities. In 925, Croatian King Tomislav united the principalities, establishing the first Croatian state. Later, Croatia retained its legal status and autonomy within the framework of the Hungarian empire, and the Habsburg Monarchy. The main executive power of Croatian state is the government (in Croatian: "vlada"), presided by the Prime Minister.
