Sunny and lazy afternoons quickly turn into evenings full of life, colors and music in this amazing city. Fusion between the ancient and modern life will make you feel amazed by how simple but fullfiling can be just roaming through the old city streets. First day or the last but we recommend you experience the vibe of Split!

VIS

Welcome to Issa, once a military base and now a hidden gem far away from the mainland. Town of Vis is the oldest town in Croatia, 365 years BC. The island has recently been open to the public since it was closed for tourists for a long time because it was a military base of Austria, Great Britain and Yugoslavia. This way it preserved a lot of its authenticity and tradition. Submarine tunnels,  monasteries, , forts and noble houses are just a couple of things you will see on the island. Vis offers untouched nature and a lot of historical monuments that date back to the Romans and Greeks. Activities such as wine tasting in some of the nicest vineyards and cellars( island Vis just like island Hvar is famous worldwide for its wine ), blue cave and green cave excursions, scooter tours, diving expeditions and many more  will make you fall in love with this island. If you have a short walk through the island  you will be able to pick lemons, oranges and grapes directly from the tree and bring them to your boat.  Besides the activities, just arriving on the island  will make you feel like you took a step back in time.

Vis  on one side and Komiža on the other  side of the island are the two biggest villages. Legends and  stories of the island will leave you speechless. Since it is located in the middle of the Adriatic, far away from the coast, it is pretty simple and  very unique.

HVAR

Mixture of breathtaking nature, interesting history and remarkable gastronomy is well known among the sailors. Many small towns such as Jelsa, Starigrad or Vrboska offer a variety of places where you can go if you do not want to be surrounded with summer crowds

In 2018. Hvar celebrated 150 years of organized tourism!  If you are up for a glass of wine or maybe a cocktail on the beach you can easily find it in Hvar.  The town offers a magnificent atmosphere to have an evening walk or having dinner at one of the charming restaurants by the water. Maybe you are up for an adventure and having a nice dinner at one of the family run village restaurants and feel the authentic atmosphere of the island. Either way Hvar is a place you will absolutely remember.

BRAČ

The biggest island in the region, 40 km long and 12 km wide, Brač as well as other islands in this region provides an amazing natural and architectural beauty. Towns like Milna( in greek „Mile Navi“ meaning „thousand ships“) or Postira( where the stone for the White house in Washington was mined) offer more than just history. The people still live here respecting their ancestors’ way of life. Fishing and agriculture are two main activities in Brač. The architecture is simply stunning and will leave you speechless with all the stone houses, churches and streets built in such an organized manner. Bol on Brač is the most famous beach in Croatia. Restaurant, beach bar or a lonely bay. You choose. Brač has it all.

ŠOLTA

High cliffs surround the south side of the island with huge pine trees casting their shade on to the water. The island has been inhabited for centuries  by people from Split. Vineyards and vegetable plantations cover most of the island surface as the locals still preserve their old way of life.

With plenty of bays around the island you won`t have a hard time finding a spot to drop the anchor and enjoy your afternoon.

Similar to spanish „siesta“, Dalmatians have their „fjaka“ which is a state of mind where you only want to  kickback and relax. Grab a buoy in one of the bays and see how it feels. We like it.
