The coastal city of Split is a great and historic beauty located on a peninsula in the Adriatic, in Dalmatia in the south of Croatia. A resort town and active port, it is a place where varied history and traditions meet chic and cosmopolitan modernity. Therefore, it offers an perfect list of incredible things to see and do in the most stunning settings, from cobbled little streets lined with grand old buildings to stretches of the coast with craggy peaks and azure seas as a backdrop. If you book a villa in Split-dalmatien, at least one day-trip to the city is a must!

If you book a villa in Dubrovnik and are spending time exploring the charming medieval city, you might find yourself gazing out over the stunning coastline of the surrounding area from the ancient city walls or the tiny but perfect little city beach and may be filled with the desire for adventure at the sight! The bay and the cluster of islands that can be found in the area around Dubrovnik can be readily visited from the city by boat tour and present all sorts of excellent options for days out and exploration. Among the various islands or destinations that you might choose between, the island of Korčula and its main town of the same name is particularly charming and picturesque and continues to be a relatively hidden gem…

Are you dreaming of a perfectly scenic getaway this autumn? Think charming historic towns, lots of orange and rust-coloured leaves, golden sunsets like dripping honey, days enjoying hearty seasonal dishes and sampling local wines... Sounds pretty dreamy, right? Well, Istria delivers all of this and more! 

If you are interested in visiting Dubrovnik and enjoying the rich history and cosmopolitan delights of the city but you are also interested in taking in the incredible natural beauty of Croatia while on holiday in Dubrovnik-neretva, then we highly recommend a visit to the Mljet National Park.

The Mljet National Park is an expansive area of stunning protected natural beauty that encompasses the entire northwestern part of Mljet Island and is located just a stone’s throw from the city of Dubrovnik. Bordered by two saltwater lakes, Veliko and Malo Jezero (Large and Small Lake), and characterised by lush forests juxtaposed against the azure sea, deep blue lakes, and endless skies, its breathtaking beauty, tranquillity, and opportunities for adventure make it an ideal destination for a day trip on vacation in Dubrovnik-neretva. 

The stunning city of Dubrovnik already has plenty to offer visitors from city beaches, to Game of Thrones filming locations, to historic gems, to incredible restaurants. However, those who find a villa in Dubrovnik and are spending time in the city, enjoying all that she has to offer, might also feel the need to take a little break from the excitement and bustling crowds to delve further into the natural beauty of the area. If this is the case, then you could easily plan a little day-trip to the gorgeous Elaphiti Islands to further enhance your time on this stunning stretch of the coast of Croatia.

Situated northwest of Dubrovnik, the Elaphiti Islands form an enchanting archipelago comprising six main islands and numerous smaller islets. Of these, only three—Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan—have permanent inhabitants. You can reach specific islands through various ferry services and tours, or opt for the freedom of renting your own boat.
