Croatia’s two most historic cities, Split and Dubrovnik, are separated by one of the Mediterranean’s most attractive stretches of coastline. A chauffeured transfer between the two will offer you incredible vistas of the Adriatic, combined with a stop at the Bay of Ston en-route to sample the famous oysters. A stay in Split offers a chance to explore Diocletian’s Palace in the company of one of Kirker’s expert local guides – the perfect insight into the city’s proud Roman past.

The sunsets – especially in spring and summer – seen from Dubrovnik’s ancient city walls, will stay with you for a long time. This former Venetian trading outpost is a place of fine Dalmatian wine and fresh sea air.

A tailor made short break involving these two fascinating coastal cities is on every discerning traveller’s wish list. For those who wish to extend their stay a hydrofoil to the idyllic island of Hvar from Split port is a must, otherwise discovering the ancient Montenegrin city of Kotor – across the border from Dubrovnik - is a real treat.
