The Dalmatian Coast
The Dalmatian Coast is the most popular strip of coastline in Croatia. It's shaped like a supermodel, long and thin, and it stretches from Zadar, in the middle, right along the south-western edge of the country, bordering the Adriatic Sea, till it reaches the capital, Dubrovnik, in the south. The Dalmatian coast is home to Croatia's most popular holibob hot-spots, Dubrovnik, the capital city, and Split.
It also has more islands than the Disney film has Dalmations; some of the most popular are Hvar and Brac, but there are many more to discover. If you like large amounts of things, you'll love rice, the Croatian islands, and changing your money in Vietnam (£1 = 35,000 Vietnamese dong). Speaking of rice, you can't come to Croatia and not try black risotto, anyway, where were we? Oh yes, talking about where to go....
Outside of Dubrovnik, Split and Hvar, you've also got smaller gems like Makarska, which nestles between sea, river and mountains, and Tucepi, it's smaller, more boujee neighbour.
Wherever you decide to stay, the Dalmatian coast is a proper gem, stunning landscapes meet rich history and modern vibes. Picture this: you're strolling through Split’s ancient cobbled streets, surrounded by Roman ruins (hello, Diocletian's Palace!) one minute, and sipping a Fanta Lemon on a sizzling beach the next.
The crystal-clear Adriatic waters are just begging you to dive in, and the islands like Hvar and Brač are ready to pop off with their boujee nightlife and swanky waterfronts. Whether you’re after a laid-back holibob or a buzzing adventure, Dalmatian Coast is your 10/10 go-to for a proper good time!
