Day 2   SPLIT – (BOL) HVAR (B, L)

Morning departure to the island of Brač, where swimming is planned at the most famous beach in Dalmatia – Zlatni Rat near Bol. Its shingle promontory shifts from side to side as the wind and waves constantly cause the beach shape to change. Bol is a typical fishermen’s village converted into a popular tourist destination yet retaining its charm. Continue towards the jet-set island of Hvar with lunch on board at the Pakleni Islands.  Hvar is the longest and sunniest island in the Adriatic, known for lush lavender fields and breath-taking beauty. Arrive in the afternoon for a guided tour of the town’s historical landmarks – the Renaissance cathedral with its original tower, and the oldest community theatre in Europe founded in 1612.

Early morning cruise towards the small island Biševo to visit the Blue Cave, a magnificent natural phenomenon (entrance to be paid on the spot – approx. 18EUR). As sometimes weather conditions can be very unpredictable, the possibility of a cave visit will depend on those conditions however, you will be notified in time. Continue to the island of Vis, once a strategic naval Yugoslav base and closed to the public for years. Due to this isolation, Vis retains a special charm – “the Mediterranean as it once was” making it really interesting to visit. Situated on the northern side of the island, Vis has developed near the remains of ancient Issa, the first urban centre in Croatia. Sample local wines. If interested, visit the remains of the Roman Thermal Place, the City Museum or simply take a walk enjoying the views of the beautiful Villae Rusticae situated along the waterfront.

What Cruise to take?

There are several cruises to choose from if you don’t want to sail at your own leisure. Choose your own exploration experience, such as a cruise that takes you from Split to Dubrovnik or even a boat that circles a number of islands.

The most well-known sailing cruises will take you to some of the major islands that dot Croatia ‘s coast, with Brač, Hvar, and Vis being the most well-liked locations. Don’t pass up the chance to take one of the many sailing cruises available to make your time in Croatia even more enjoyable.

Croatia has a plethora of sailing tours, excursions, and cruises. All being offered throughout Split ‘s coastline. There are cruises leaving from Split that go for several weeks, others only a few days, but the most popular ones go for seven days and visit various islands. The seven-day cruises that depart from Split can be ideal for you if you enjoy travel and exploring new places.

In order to save time on your Split cruise , it is usually important to make reservations in advance. Before docking at one or more locations, it is always best to find out exactly what activities are available there.

What can you do on a cruise

Ever since man chose to make lengthy sea trips into unexplored locations, cruising has been a part of life. Cruises out of Split may be one of the most exhilarating and exciting methods to see this stunning nation for that reason. Because Split cruises have gotten more inexpensive, more of us can afford to travel the great distance across the sea.

A Split cruise will allow you to explore and unwind while enjoying a novel and refreshing way to discover the delights of Croatia’s Adriatic coast. Avoid having a dull vacation, take a cruise from or to Split through Croatia! We are positive you’ll enjoy it whilst sailing across the Dalmatian coastline. After all there is a number of things which you can get yourself up to along your travels; before or after the cruise from/to Split.

It’s no secret that Croatia’s shoreline is dotted with thousands of different islands, many of which are uninhabited but still provide enough of visual candy. Cruises in Croatia provide a number of breathtaking sites from and to Split.

With its ancient towns and natural parks dotting its landscape, Croatia is recognized as a stunning nation. On a yacht or sailing craft, see the wonders of Croatia’s coast while unwinding over many days of exploration.

Driving Dubrovnik to Split: Best Routes & Places to Stop on the Way

D riving Dubrovnik to Split is the fastest and easiest way to get between the two cities. The drive is 232km and takes just under 3 hours to complete. The drive is relatively easy, and going from Dubrovnik to Split by car is a great choice as it gives you much more freedom and flexibility.

We recently took a road trip across Croatia, and decided to drive both the coastal road from Split to Dubrovnik and the A1 highway from Dubrovnik to Split.

Based on this experience, we’ve reviewed the best driving route, tips for driving in Croatia, and where to stop between Dubrovnik and Split.

Book a Rental Car in Croatia

We used Discover Cars to book our rental car in Croatia, and found it to be a great way to find the highest-rated and best price on a rental car.

How to get from Dubrovnik to Split by Car

There are 2 main ways to get from Dubrovnik to Split by car, either take the D8 Coastal Road or the A1 Highway. Below is information on both routes as well as on renting a car..

Where to Rent a Car in Dubrovnik

There are many places to rent a car in Dubrovnik, including downtown or at the Dubrovnik Airport. I personally use Discover Cars to find the highest-rated and best rental car.

Click Here to Find and Book a Rental Car in Dubrovnik

Tip: If you are flying to Dubrovnik, I suggest exploring the city for a few days before renting a car to drive to other places. However, if you already have a rental car, check out this guide for cheap parking in Dubrovnik .

Driving Routes for Dubrovnik to Split

There are two main routes to choose from when driving from Dubrovnik to Split: The A1 Highway (E65) or the D8 Coastal Road.

Leaving from Dubrovnik, you will start on a coastal road D674 and follow it for about 1.5 hours. From there, you will cross the bridge and then decide on continuing on a coastal road or taking the highway.

Pelješac Bridge

After driving on the D674 coastal road, you will come to the Pelješac Bridge. The Pelješac Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that opened to the public in 2022.

The best part about this bridge is that you can now bypass the Neum Border Crossing. Prior to this bridge, it was necessary to drive through Neum, which is a part of Bosnia and required going through border control.

Not long after the Pelješac Bridge, you will need to decide if you want to take the A1 Highway Route or stay on the D8 Coastal Road.

Route Option 1: A1 Highway

Taking the A1 Highway (Road E65) is the fastest way to get from Dubrovnik to Split. The drive is 232 km and takes around 2 hours and 50 minutes.

The highway is in great condition and at many points has two lanes on each side, making it easy to pass. The road is also smooth and is an easy drive.

There are tolls along the A1 Highway, but in our experience the tolls were not very much and it was worth it for the quick and easy drive to Split.

One thing to note is that you pay tolls when exiting the toll road rather than upon entering it.

Route Option 2: D8 Coastal Road

The D8 Coastal Road is a two-lane road along the coast. Taking the D8 Route from Dubrovnik to Split will be around 218km, but the drive takes closer to 3 hours and 45 minutes.

It is a beautiful drive, perfect for those that have extra time and prefer a more scenic route.

The road is in good condition, but keep in mind it does go along cliff edges at times and it is important to watch other cars since it is only a two-lane road.

6 Best Places to Stop between Dubrovnik and Split

One of the best parts about going from Dubrovnik to Split by car is the flexibility to stop at unique places along the way.

Below is information on where to stop between Dubrovnik and Split. Keep in mind you won’t be able to see everything in one drive.

1. Beach Prapratno

Location: 20230, Metohija, Croatia

Beach Prapratno is a small beach along the Adriatic sea, just a few kilometers off from road D674.

This beach has beautiful crystal clear waters and is truly a hidden gem. Unlike most beaches in Croatia, this beach has golden sand instead of pebbles, which adds to its charm.

2. Medieval Town of Ston

Location: 20230, Ston, Croatia

The town of Ston is located just off from Road D674, making it a convenient stop along your drive from Dubrovnik to Split. Ston is known for its charming old town, impressive stone walls, and for its delicious Oysters.

The best thing to do during a short stop in Ston is wander the streets of the old town, which is filled 14th century, Venetian style buildings. If you like seafood, you’ll want to try some of the famous Ston Oysters in town.

If you have the time and energy, you can also hike up to the Ston Fortress or walk along portions of the Ston Walls. The Ston Walls span for over 5km and are the longest complete fortress system in Europe.

3. Biokovo Nature Park

Location: Biokovska cesta, 21325, Biokovo, Croatia

If you drive along the D8 Coastal Road, you can stop at the Biokovo Nature Park. The park is located on Mount Biokovo, which overlooks the Makarska Rivera.

While the Biokovo Nature Park has many viewpoints and hiking trails, the most popular attraction is the Biokovo Skywalk. It is the first skywalk in Croatia and is an impressive 1228 above sea level.

Due to the Biokovko Nature Park being on a mountain, it is typically open seasonally and can close due to weather conditions. For info on opening times, check the Skywalk website .

4. Makarska Rivera

Location: 21300, Makarska, Croatia

The Makarska Rivera is also located along the D8 Coastal Road route from Dubrovnik to Split.

The Makarska Rivera stretches for 60km from the towns of Brela and Gradac, and consists of beautiful coastline with bays, small villages, and gorgeous beaches.

The main town along the Makarska Rivera is Makarska, which has a beautiful old town square and seaside promenade.

5. Modro Jezero: The Blue Lake

Location: 21260, Imotski, Croatia

If you decide to take the A1 Highway from Dubrovnik to Split, you can take a detour to Modro Jezero, also called the Blue Lake. In total, the detour will take an extra hour of drive time but it is worth it if you love hidden gems and nature.

The Blue Lake is located just outside of the small town of Imotski. It is a large lake known for its beautiful blue water and is a popular swimming spot.

Nearby the Blue Lake is the Red Lake, which is much smaller and is surrounded by unique red cliffs. You can’t swim at the Red Lake but it is still pretty scenic.

6. Klis Fortress

Location: 21231, Klis, Croatia

Just before you get to Split, is the impressive Klis Fortress. This fortress has a complex history and was used for centuries as a fortification.

It is unknown when construction first began, but archeologists have found that people were settled on the fortress grounds as early as the 3rd century BCE.

In modern times, Klis Fortress has become famous as it was the filming site for Khaleesi and the city of Meereen in the Game of Thrones tv series.

Tips for Driving Dubrovnik to Split

On our recent trip to Croatia, we drove all across the entire country (including driving Split to Dubrovnik and then back Dubrovnik to Split).

Based on these experiences, below are a few tips for driving Dubrovnik to Split :

Speed limits are typically 130 km/h on highways, open roads it is usually 90 km/h.

Always opt for full-coverage insurance or make sure you have full coverage car insurance through your credit card.

On the toll roads, you’ll receive a ticket when entering and when you exit the road you will put that ticket in the machine to make your payment (similar to leaving a parking garage in the US).

Use caution on the coastal roads – while it is scenic, it is important that the driver pays attention to the road. There are some pull-off spots along the way.

If you do pull-off the road, make sure its a designated pull-off spot and be very careful getting back on the road as cars sometimes drive really fast around these winding roads.

To find, compare, and book car rentals in Croatia, you can use Discover Cars .
