Croatia

Dalmatian Islands Walk

  • Island hop the Dalmatians between Split, Brač & Hvar
  • Explore charming vineyards, olive groves, museums, castles and Roman remains
  • Plenty of swimming opportunities in the incredible clear blue sea

The exquisite Dalmatian Islands lie just off the Croatian coastline, resting atop the inviting waters of the Mediterranean Sea. These unique islands offer those who visit a diverse experience with pockets of discovery to relish in, whilst the coastal air supplies a fresh breeze to compliment the blissful Croatian sun, perfect for walking! We feature the islands of Brač and Hvar, renowned for their relaxed ambience, fantastic local cuisine and wine, intriguing historic cities and towns, and some of the most scenically dramatic walking in Europe. These Dalmatian Islands are the picture-perfect destination for a keen walker searching for spectacular natural beauty.

Your journey begins in the exuberant city of Split, known for mastering the ideal balance between tradition and modernity. Founded by the Romans, Split's famous UNESCO Diocletian's Palace was once the Emperor's retirement home. Today its warren of narrow alleys houses the town's cathedral, while its cavernous cellars are used as art galleries. A scenic ferry journey brings you to your first Dalmatian Island, Brač encompassing an extensive and fascinating history which provides an excellent window into authentic Croatian Island life.

Another beautiful ferry crossing brings you to your second Dalmatian Island, Hvar, where vast vineyards, olive groves and lavender fields are abundant. There are copious amounts of interesting museums, castles and Roman remains to explore on your journey as well as many swimming opportunities in the incredible clear blue sea. The last of your ferry rides brings you back to Split where you may wish to add extra nights to truly appreciate the culture and architecture of this exciting city, where enticing fresh seafood and local wines can be found around every corner.

We have included three nights in Split and four nights in Hvar, allowing plenty of time to explore the history and nature at your own pace.
