Question Hi there, my boyfriend and I are planning on spending about 10 days in Croatia this June. We are looking to fly into Split and then travel down to finish in Dubrovnik. I know that Croatia has alot to offer and so we will by no means cover off everything in 10 days but are there any places in particluar that you recommend visiting and how long we should stay there for? I was originally thinking of travelling on ferries between islands and then spending 2 or 3 nights in Dubrovnik. Does this sound like a good idea to you? And does using ferries sound feasible or should we rent out a scooter (are these easily found)? We enjoy the cultural aspects countries have to offer and would hope to avoid more commercial 'clubbing' islands per se. Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Lulu
Answer Hi Lulu !
Great that you decided to visit island in south Croatia and city of Dubrovnik.
My suggestion is following ....
When you arrive in Split go to ferry port (from airport) and travel to island Hvar (Stari grad) or spend one night in Split (Hotel Marijan).
At island Hvar rent a scooter and drive around (Hvar is 65km long),
visit old castle above city of Hvar, go to village Jelsa and try local vine and cheese. Try finding local boat transfer from Jelsa to island Brac and go visit beautiful Golden cape (Zlatni Rat) http://www.find-croatia.com/photos-croatia/islands-croatia/slides/Croatia005Brac...
