Read MoreExplore the largest city on the Croatian coast and the beautiful islands that surround it in a luxury yacht. Then complete your holiday with a visit to the breathtaking Krka Falls and a two-night stay in Split. The Dalmatian coastline is legendary: one of the most dramatic in Europe, extending for hundreds of miles, where steep limestone cliffs plunge into sapphire-blue waters. Just offshore, the mirror-like Adriatic is studded with countless islands, some tiny, some large, some inhabited, some not, but giving scenery almost reminiscent of a series of huge intertwining lakes. As we island hop through this breathtaking landscape, we'll visit the country's historic port towns and cities - Zadar, Šibenik, Trogir and Rab - and stop en route for the chance to go swimming by the Kvarner Gulf. Together, we'll discover the amazing Kornati archipelago, home to the Kornati National Park with its 89 unforgettable islands, islets and reefs, and explore the ancient capital, Split, seeing the major sights like the huge Roman ruins of Emperor Diocletian's Palace. This holiday is perfect for travellers who want to discover some equally impressive off-the-beaten-track destinations and see Croatia's must-see landmarks.
