The church of St. Donat, the symbol of the city, is a must in each itinerary, as well as the museums of Zadar. Drive on to Sibenik - The historic town of Sibenik, connected with the expansion and development of the early Croatian state, is rich in cultural and historical monuments. The most representative among them is the famous Cathedral of Sibenik, one of the most original architectural projects of the late Middle Ages, primarily linked to the local master Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac (George of Dalmatia).

Day 5 - Dubrovnik

Completed in the thirteen century, the old city Dubrovnik has remained basically unchanged since. Its medieval ramparts encircle the city which pedestrians can enter through one of two gates - either way, they cross a stone bridge under the watchful gaze of the city’s patron Saint,  Blaise (Vlaho), to find themselves joining the promenade down the broad, stone-paved avenue known as Stradun. Morning sightseeing and afternoon at leisure. Overnight in Dubrovnik. (B)

Day 7 – Dubrovnik – Split

After breakfast, proceed to Split, with stop for lunch in a village above the Makarska Riviera. A great view to the Islands and some traditional music will make your lunch even more tasteful. Today’s Split is the handiwork of seventeen centuries of men and women building and remodeling, adding and tearing down and touching up, so that 18th century houses intersect with ancient Roman walls and fourth century chambers house twentieth century apartments. At the core of this sprawling cityscape is the palace that Emperor Diocletian built for his golden years at the turn of the fourth century. Sightseeing, dinner and overnight in Split region. (B,L,D)
