Sailing through South Dalmatia is a special experience due to its somewhat undiscovered treasures.
South Dalmatia is at the very eastern tip of Croatia, and since it’s so far away it is often left out and both locals and tourists don’t visit as much as they should. But not for a good reason. South Dalmatia has lots of hidden spots and beautiful clear sea. We could call Dubrovnik the capital of South Dalmatia. And now back to our route.
Rovinj is a star attraction of coastal Istria. Although it can be crowded with tourists during the summer, the town still remains one of the last Mediterranean fishing ports. Wooded hills and low-rise hotels surround the old town, which is surrounded with cobbled streets and piazzas.
Is there more romantic time than summer? Is there more romantic setting than the Croatian coastline? The answer to both is – no, there isn’t. That’s why, if you are sailing with your spouse or simply, your significant other, you should spice your vacation a bit more.
Having dinner at the fine restaurant and enjoying some local seafood and a glass of fine wine will get both of you in a romantic mood.
A unique shape of the beach is a sight you won’t want to miss. And the shape is constantly changing, due to the sea currents and winds.
…it’s good enough for me!
What does this mean – if it’s good enough for the emperor? Here’s a little piece of history for you. Diocletian was a Roman emperor who wanted to build himself a nice place to live. So he build a palace. And of course, he built it in one of the most beautiful cities in Adriatic, Split. Because Diocletian was no fool.
Today the palace, along with adjoining areas to the west, forms the very heart of Split. Many shops, restaurants, bars and apartments for tourists can be found within the palace. The curious thing is that there are still people living inside the palace. Maybe they are not emperors, but still, they live good.
Dubrovnik or King’s Landing for some
Everyone that’s heard of Croatia has also heard about Dubrovnik. It’s our most famous place for tourists. That’s why we won’t tell you the typical story of Dubrovnik.
But what we will tell you that Game of Thrones has been filming here since season 2. And what’s more important, Dubrovnik is King’s Landing, the capital of Seven Kingdoms.
