About
Recommended for:
Beach | History & culture
This popular holiday begins with a stay on central Dalmatia's largest island, Brac, with its radiant white stone, which has 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. You'll then move on to 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.

Brac
Brac is the third largest of Croatia's Adriatic islands, and one of its most beautiful. A trip to the summit of Vidova Gora – the region's highest point – is a must, with splendid views over Brac, and the nearby islands of Bol and Hvar.
With four days here, you'll have ample time to explore and enjoy island life, spending relaxing days on Croatia's most photographed beach – the V-shaped Zlatni Rat – or exploring pretty villages such as Murvica, whose residents left in the 1950s to search for a 'new world' and to where their descendants are now returning.

Makarska
The coastal region around Makarska is considered to be one the most beautiful in the Dalmatia region. The white pebble beaches slope gently into a clear blue sea, making it ideal for children, while little villages of stone houses, churches and bell towers are never far away. It's also an ideal base for excursions to Dubrovnik and the island of Korcula. The Biokovo Mountains offer breathtaking views, although the hairpin bends are not for the fainthearted.
