Split & Hvar Twin Centre

Itinerary

2 Nights – Split
5 Nights – Hvar

 UK to Split (2 nights):  Your first stop is Split, located on the Dalmatian coast, where you’ll spend 2 nights exploring this fascinating city that is overflowing with charm and history. The city has a lot to offer, including museums, beautiful beaches and a vibrant nightlife.  Split’s must-see sight is Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the best-preserved Roman ruins in the world. The palace is not only a historical monument but the beating heart of the city and has a plethora of shops, restaurants, markets and temples within its ancient walls. For a leisurely stroll, head to the Riva, Split’s waterfront promenade that’s lined with palm trees, has fabulous views of the nearby islands and is a great place to try the Dalmatian cuisine in one of the many cafes and restaurants.  For something more energetic, walk to the top of Marjan Hill for panoramic views of the city and the stunning coastline – especially at sunset.

 Split to Hvar (5 nights):  After your two nights in Split, you’ll hop on a ferry to the glamourous island of Hvar, an island gem in the Adriatic Sea, that boasts some of the clearest turquoise-green waters you’ll ever come across. The island offers an intriguing juxtaposition of quiet cove beaches, unassuming fishing bays and lavender fields with a distinctly upscale, glamourous side, and in the summer, the harbour comes alive with visiting luxury yachts, parties and exclusive events.   The heart of Hvar is Hvar Town, located on the southwestern coast of the island where you’ll find narrow cobblestone streets, ancient buildings, and elegant squares.  The Town Square, also known as St. Stephen’s Square, is surrounded by historic landmarks, including the Cathedral of St. Stephen, a beautiful Renaissance cathedral with an impressive bell tower. A visit to Hvar wouldn’t be complete without exploring the surrounding islands. The Pakleni Islands, a small archipelago just off Hvar’s coast, offer a perfect opportunity for boating, swimming, snorkelling and exploring the hidden coves. The Blue Cave, located on the nearby island of Biševo, is a definite must-see and is known as one of Croatia’s most enchanting natural wonders with its mesmerising blue glow that creates a magical experience as the reflected light illuminates the entire cave with an ethereal turquoise hue.

 Hvar to UK: You’ll be transferred by boat back to Split, either by ferry or you can upgrade to a speedboat direct to the airport, from where you will then fly home to the UK.
