Dalmatian coastal
in Croatia

Stone towns tumble down to the sea, fishing boats bob in harbours and the water really is that shade of blue. Split is the ideal base, its Roman palace turned living city centre unlike anywhere else in Europe. Island hop to Hvar or Vis for quieter coves and very good local wine. Come in May or September and you'll have it largely to yourself.

Dubrovnik

The old city walls are genuinely one of the finest walks in Europe: two kilometres of limestone ramparts above the Adriatic, with terracotta rooftops on one side and open sea on the other, best done early in the morning before the cruise ships arrive and the Stradun fills to capacity. Dubrovnik is not a secret and does not pretend to be, but it handles its fame with more grace than most. The surrounding coastline offers relief: the Elaphiti Islands by ferry, the Pelješac peninsula for wine and oysters, and the Dalmatian coast stretching north towards Split with the kind of beauty that makes it very difficult to leave. Come in May or early October. July is a different, considerably louder experience.

Rovinj

We can think of few places more romantic than Rovinj. An absolute gem, Rovinj is home to wooded hills, steep cobbled streets and lovely, welcoming piazzas.
