What is the best way to get back to Split from Dubrovnik?

by Tasha
(California)

I am looking for a 9 night trip in Croatia. I was thinking of starting in Split upon arrival. Then either staying in Split or moving to Trogir for 2 additional nights. I thought then going to Sibenik and taking the ferry to Skradin exploring the Krka National Park.

Then after 3 days taking the catamaran or ferry (fastest service) to Hvar or Brac for a few nights stay.

Where do you think the best beach is of the 2 islands? After the island stay taking the fastest option via water to Dubrovnik. Doing 3 nights in Dubrovnik with day trips to Lopud and Cavtat.

With 9 nights we then would need to get back to Split for our flight home. What would be the ideal mode of transportation to get back to Dubrovnik as we will not have a car. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Transportation between Split and Dubrovnik
by: Tobias

Hi Tasha,

sorry that I didn't get back to you earlier.

By the way, your trip is excellently planned. I really couldn't recommend anything else
for a 9-day trip. You will see some of the top spots in Croatia - a really good mixture
with coastal cities, islands and National Parks.

As for your questions:
"Where do you think the best beach is of the 2 islands?"

Puhhhh, that's a tough question whether Hvar or Brac has better beaches. Indeed, both have fantastic beaches with crystal clear blue water.

Brac has the world famous Zlatni Rat beach (USAToday rated the Zlatni Rat beach into the top 50 beaches worldwide!)

I also visited Hvar island last year and you'll also find fabulous beaches there! If you ask me about my personal favorite - I would recommend to visit Hvar. Not only will you have fantastic beaches, but you can also visit the city which is also called "Hvar". Actually, it's a little St. Tropez - very charming city with this special flair!


As for the transportation:
You mentioned that you don't have a car? Just a note: you can rent a car in one city and give it back at your destination airport for example. You'll have all the national car rental agencies in Croatia (Sixt, Europcar etc.).

If that's not for you - there's only one alternative (in my opinion). Take the bus! It's not very expensive and you have transfers between Split and Dubrovnik (and vice versa) on a daily basis.

Hope that helps,
Greetings to sunny California!

All the best,
Tobias
