Croatia Charter Experience

With 1,185 islands, of which 66 inhabited, Croatia is extremely rich in variety. Surrounded by glittering Adriatic sea, this glorious stretch of coastline is simply unmissable and has the right recipe for everyone’s taste. Dalmatian coast is the most popular sailing destination. Its North and South regions are home to some of the stunning Croatian National Parks. Navigate through the Šibenik channel to explore Krka falls, sail through the untouched Kornati archipelago on the north, or bike to impressive lakes on Mljet Island in the Dubrovnik area.

The area around the magnificent city Split, whose ancient Roman walls look at glorious sun-bathed islands Šolta, Brač, Hvar, and Vis, is the most famous cruising ground in Croatia, and it is the heart of a stunning Dalmatian coast. Being able to explore unbelievable towns, such as Starigrad, Hvar, Vis, Komiža, Korčula, but also discover unique bays nearby, or even have a cocktail in one of the glamorous beach bars in Pakleni islands, makes this area the most engaging for the first time visiting Croatia.

EXPERT ADVICE

EXPERT ADVICE

An incredible way to experience the Croatian lifestyle is to have a taste of rich and exclusive Dalmatian Coast cuisine. Mediterranean spices and simplicity enrich the entire gastronomy, featuring seasonal vegetables, meat dishes, and seafood.  

One of the most unique Croatian dishes is Peka – a meal slowly cooked under the cast-iron dome covered with live coal and wooden ash. For more than a thousand years, Peka has been rooted in Croatian gastro – tradition firstly used to make bread in everyday life. 

Today, with adding meat, seafood, and vegetables to it, it’s an ancient meal on a list of modern Croatian gastronomic offers.
