About
Recommended for:
Beach | History & culture
This popular 11-day holiday combines a five-night stay on central Dalmatia's largest island, Brac, with five nights on the mainland at Makarska. Brac is famous for two things: its radiant white stone that's helped to build both Diocletian's Palace in Split and the White House in Washington DC, and Zlatni Rat, the long pebbly beach that juts out emphatically into the dazzling Adriatic and adorns 90% of Croatia's tourism posters.
The second part of the holiday is spent at the 4-star Hotel Meteor in Makarska, a pretty port town with a long pebbly beach, lively waterfront restaurants and a limestone centre that turns peachy orange in the setting sun. It's also an ideal base from which to explore the cities of Split and Dubrovnik.

Time to enjoy island life either on the beach - including Croatia's most photographed beach, the V-shaped Zlatni Rat- or exploring abandoned villages such as Murvica, where residents left in the 1950s to search for a 'new world' and to where their decendents are now returning.
