Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik 7 days

Upon arrival at Split airport, one of our cars will take you to the hotel for check-in.

The rest of the day will be to relax and begin to enjoy one of the largest and oldest cities in the country.

Split has several tourist areas. In the center, Diocletian's Palace, which mixes Roman and medieval heritage. Around it, the squares, towers and Venetian mansions, to the west the most humble Fisherman's Quarter, the wooded mountain of the Marján Park and to the south the port, the promenade and some small beaches. It is the city with the perfect combination of beach, history, nature and good food.

Greca Tip: As you stroll along the Riva promenade, don't miss the chance to savor a traditional plate of "cevapi," a beloved local dish.

You will start your day with a delicious breakfast to recharge your energy and thus enjoy your free day in the beautiful city of Split, the capital of the Dalmatia region.

In recent years, the city has emerged as one of the country's premier tourist destinations, drawing visitors from far and wide to explore its rich history and stunning Adriatic coastline. As you stroll along its picturesque medieval streets, you'll encounter a plethora of historically, architecturally, and culturally significant landmarks, many of which are nestled within the walls of Diocletian's Palace.

Commissioned by Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century as a retreat for his twilight years, this architectural marvel fell into disuse in the 6th century before being repurposed by the locals, transforming it into the vibrant heart of the city. 

Today, the Roman edifices house a vibrant array of homes, boutiques, and eateries, offering visitors an immersive journey through time. Don't miss the chance to explore the revered "Golden Gate", which marks the grand entrance to this historic complex.

You can also walk and marvel at the constructions located around the central courtyard, called the Peristyle. Another important place to visit is the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, where you will find the Mausoleum of Diocletian. You can also explore the underground passages, which are of great historical importance.

Greca Tip: From the cathedral bell tower, you will have wonderful views of the entire city.

After a delicious breakfast, you'll be transferred to the port, where you'll board a ferry or catamaran to Hvar Island.

Hvar boasts being the longest island in the Adriatic, adorned with unspoiled forests, pristine white beaches, vineyards, and lavender fields. Its city exudes charm with a blend of architectural styles—Gothic, Renaissance—and is rich in history, marked by the influence of the Venetian aristocracy.

Notable landmarks include St. Stephen's Cathedral, an exquisite Renaissance masterpiece nestled in the heart of the main square, alongside the Franciscan Monastery, the Ancient Theater (Europe's oldest public theater), and the majestic Spanish Fortress, a testament to Venetian craftsmanship.

Beyond exploring the old town's cobblestone streets, indulge in shopping, dining at cozy cafes, or unwinding on the island's picturesque beaches.

Greca Tip: The best sunset views can be enjoyed from the Spanish Fortress.

After enjoying our breakfast, we begin a day to let ourselves be carried away by Hvar’s natural charm, known as the sunniest island in the Adriatic. Mild in winter, warm in summer, and blessed with countless hours of sunshine, Hvar reveals a picture-perfect Mediterranean landscape: lavender fields and vineyards tracing the horizon, gently descending from white pine forests down to crystal-clear bays and pale stone beaches.

In the morning, you may explore inland villages, follow scenic routes, or visit local wineries to discover the region’s wines. In the afternoon, it is ideal to relax in a hidden cove, take a boat trip to the Pakleni Islands, or simply enjoy the chic atmosphere of the harbor and its seaside cafés.

At the end of the day, we return to the hotel to rest. Accommodation in Hvar.

Greca Tip: Try a dish of fresh fish paired with local Plavac Mali wine—it is one of the most authentic gastronomic experiences on the island.

After indulging in a delightful breakfast, you'll make your way to the port to board a ferry or catamaran bound for Dubrovnik. Upon arrival, you'll be warmly welcomed and transferred to your accommodation.

The remainder of the day is yours to unwind and explore the city at your leisure.

Dubrovnik, renowned as the "Pearl of the Adriatic", holds UNESCO World Heritage status since 1979, boasting stunning Mediterranean beauty. Its name, Dubrovnik, translates to "oak grove", a nod to the abundant oak trees in the area.

Over its history, the city has been under the rule of Byzantines, Venetians, Hungarians, Turks, and Austrians. Dubrovnik endured significant damage during the war with Serbia, with over 2,000 bombs raining down on it on December 6, 1991, resulting in the reconstruction of many houses.

Notably, the old town is encircled by a grand medieval wall featuring 16 towers, serving as a prominent landmark.

Greca Tip: Inquire us about our available excursions for the coming days, including visits to Game of Thrones filming locations.

After a peaceful and fabulous breakfast, you will have the day free to enjoy "The Pearl of the Adriatic."

Dubrovnik is a walled city dating back to the 7th century, full of contrasts and fusion that continues to enchant its visitors. Strolling within the walled area, we will reminisce about hundreds of years of history. Its walls and towers are considered the main attraction of the city, and from there we can capture breathtaking panoramic photos.

You shouldn't miss a visit to the Church of St. Blaise (1715), located in the heart of the city, the Stradun Street, the main artery of the city, where we will find bars and shops, and also the Franciscan Monastery and its church (14th century), home to the oldest pharmacy in the world.

To further explore the city's history, we recommend visiting the Sponza Palace, which dates back to the 16th century. We can also take a funicular ride to Mount Srđ to enjoy the views and have a good cup of coffee.

Greca Tip: Explore the city walls of Dubrovnik for breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the old town.

You will have breakfast at the hotel, and then transfer to the Dubrovnik airport.
