Сroatian Сoastal Gems

Today, we set off to explore the stunning Cetina River and its dramatic canyon. Shaded forest trails and peaceful riverside paths guide us through nature at its finest. A refreshing swim in the cool, clear waters of the Cetina offers the perfect break before we continue our hike.

Climbing up from the canyon, we reach the hilltop villages that once belonged to the Republic of Poljica, a fascinating medieval self-governed territory with a unique place in Croatian history. As we walk along the ridgeline, an unforgettable view opens up—where the Cetina River, Perun Mountain, and the Adriatic Sea merge in one breathtaking panorama.

We wrap up the day in Omiš, a town steeped in pirate lore, dramatically situated at the mouth of the river. A day filled with natural beauty, rich history, and charming medieval villages.

After breakfast in the hotel, we will have an hour and a half long drive to Krka National Park and its 17 stunning waterfalls. We will start our tour with Skradinski Buk waterfall, which is the longest, best known and most visited waterfall on the Krka River. It is formed by travertine barriers, islands and lakes. The waterfall can be explored thanks to an extensive network of trails and bridges.

The old watermills here hide an ethnographical collection that tells the tale of the economic history of Sibenik and the region. Most of the watermills have been restored and today serve to demonstrate the old crafts, and as hospitality establishments. We will continue our exploration by visiting the 23-meter high Roski waterfall to enjoy a very relaxed and still undiscovered part of the Krka National Park.

Our next stop is Duvancic family farm which is spread on 13 hectares of Promina vineyards in the heart of Dalmatia. The family produces wine from indigenous varieties of Debit, black Lasina, Plavina and Marastina and famous varieties of Merlot, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. Except for red and white wines, they produce two more varieties of cherry, as well as four types of brandy.

The wines from Duvanicic winery won numerous awards and recognitions for quality.

We begin the day with a scenic ferry ride to the island of Brač, where our island adventure awaits. Upon arrival, take some time to wander the charming coastal town of Supetar, known for its inviting atmosphere and beautiful stone architecture.

A short drive brings us to Nerežišća, a quaint hillside town famous for its tiny pine tree growing miraculously from the roof of a chapel—a beloved local curiosity and photo opportunity.

From there, we set off on our hike through the extraordinary Blaca Desert, home to a secluded monastery-hermitage founded in the 16th century by Glagolitic priests fleeing the Ottoman Empire. Tucked into the cliffs, the monastery offers a fascinating glimpse into centuries-old island life, with its museum collection preserving stories of resilience, isolation, and ingenuity.

Our trail then leads us to the island’s crown jewel—Vidova Gora, the highest peak of all Croatian islands. The summit rewards us with breathtaking, panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and neighboring islands—on clear days, you might even spot the Italian coast on the horizon.

After the descent, we’ll drive to the lively town of Bol, our base for the night. The evening is yours to enjoy: explore Bol’s vibrant promenade, try fresh local seafood, and sip wine at one of the cozy bars or seaside restaurants.

Don’t miss a chance for a sunset swim at Zlatni Rat (Golden Horn Beach)—Croatia’s most iconic beach, famous for its shifting shape and turquoise waters. A perfect end to a perfect day.

We begin the final day of our adventure with a private boat transfer to the sun-drenched island of Hvar. We disembark in the lovely town of Jelsa, where you’ll have time to soak in the relaxed Mediterranean vibe and enjoy your morning coffee at one of the many charming cafés.

From Jelsa, a van takes us along a quiet, scenic road winding through vineyards and olive groves, bringing us to the quaint village of Velo Grablje—our starting point for today’s hike.

This mostly downhill trail offers incredible views as we descend toward the coast. Our first stop is the abandoned village of Malo Grablje, reached by an old medieval path that once connected Hvar Town and Stari Grad. Walking through this ghost village is like stepping back in time—its stone houses and narrow alleys whisper stories of a simpler, ancient Dalmatian life.

We continue our descent to the seaside village of Milna, where a refreshing swim and a scoop of ice cream await. Then, we follow a rugged coastal trail with stunning sea views, leading us to the vibrant and elegant town of Hvar.

Famous for its bohemian spirit, rich history, and natural beauty, Hvar Town is truly a highlight of the island. Take a few hours to explore its stone-paved streets, historic fortresses, and lively squares before we head to our final stop.

A short transfer brings us to Stari Grad, one of the oldest towns in Croatia, founded in the 4th century BC. Its peaceful atmosphere and rich heritage offer the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on an incredible journey through Dalmatia’s natural and cultural wonders.
