  MAKARSKA RIVIERA (Split and Trogir)

  Today, contrast two Croatian UNESCO-listed sites in vicinity of the resort town of Makarska. Split, the largest coastal town, bustles and buzzes, as it grows more and more popular among travelers for its easy-going spirit, creative food and shopping scene and of course, remarkable heritage. Take note of the historic core of Split, the Diocletian’s Palace, and compare it to a maze of atmospheric streets and alleyways in your next stop, the petite Trogir. Rooted in the greatness of Greek and Roman times, Trogir showcases some of the finest architectural works in Croatia, including the incredibly intricate portal of its Cathedral, the Town Loggia and the Cipiko palace.

  MAKARSKA RIVIERA

  A day of leisure brings your vacation close to its grand finale. Relax on the long pebbly beaches in Makarska or join an optional excursion to the Krka National Park and the town of Šibenik. Krka waterfalls are often referred to as ‘the little Plitvice Lakes’, as they somewhat resemble Croatia’s favorite national park. Close to where the river Krka kisses the Adriatic Sea, you’ll also find the town of Šibenik, somewhat of a late tourism bloomer – which gives it a special charm. With a seductive Renaissance core, a superbly attractive waterfront and an immense fort guarding the town, its success does not surprise, especially knowing that its centerpiece, the Renaissance Cathedral of St. James, is UNESCO-listed and considered one of the most beautiful examples of sacral architecture in Croatia. Return to Makarska Riviera for dinner and overnight
