Start your visit to Trogir in the old town — one of the best-preserved medieval towns on the Croatian coast, and one of our favourite spots near Marina. The entire historic centre sits on a small island between the mainland and the island of Čiovo, and its stone lanes, squares and walls are inscribed on […]

Any list of things to do in Split really begins the moment you reach the walls of the ancient Diocletian’s Palace — and that first encounter tells you how much time to set aside for the largest city in Dalmatia. Whether you have a single day or a longer stay, here is a practical, well-tested […]

Salona (Croatian: Salona/Solin) is one of those places most people breeze right past on their way into Split, which is a shame. This was once the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia and one of the largest cities on this stretch of coast. What remains today are ruins scattered through grass and trees right […]

Marina is our home base — a small harbour town in Dalmatia, right next to Trogir, about a ten-minute drive away. It sits on a calm bay roughly 3 km north of Poljica, tucked between the water and gentle hills. There are no sprawling resorts here and no crowds, and that is exactly why we […]

Šibenik is one of Dalmatia’s most underrated stops — and that’s a shame, because anyone weighing up things to do in Šibenik soon discovers that this city of stone has a way of surprising you. As hosts of apartments in Marina, we point our guests towards it whenever they want to pair a slice of […]

Vinišće is a charming fishing village in Dalmatia, about 15 km from Poljica, on a peninsula near the town of Marina, west of Trogir. It sits on a quiet bay ringed by the clear Adriatic and picturesque hills — an ideal spot for anyone looking for calm, clear water and the feel of authentic Croatia, […]

The armored train in Split rarely makes the front pages of guidebooks, which is a shame, because it is one of those stops that stays with you longer than yet another beach. The armored vehicle stands at Split Predgrađe station, and you can look it over for free, inside as well as out. If you […]

Rogoznica sits in central Dalmatia, roughly halfway between Sibenik and Marina. It’s still a working fishing village rather than a resort, with a harbour full of small boats, narrow lanes and that easy Mediterranean feel you just can’t fake. The water is clear, the beaches are pebble and shingle, and people still say good morning […]

Omiš is one of the most rewarding stops on the central Dalmatian coast — if you are looking for things to do in Omiš, you have come to the right place, because this little town packs adrenaline, history and lazy beach time into a single spot. Omiš sits where the Cetina river meets the Adriatic, […]

Krka National Park (Croatian: Nacionalni park Krka) is one of the most enchanting day trips you can take during a holiday around Trogir and Split. The famous Krka waterfalls, the timber boardwalks strung above the cascades and the emerald-green river together create a landscape that stays with you long after you leave. As hosts of […]

Vranjača Cave is one of those places that quietly rearranges what you thought the inside of the earth looked like. It sits in central Dalmatia, close to Dugopolje and roughly 25 km from Split. This is a karst cave, patiently carved by water over thousands of years, and the result genuinely stops you in your […]
