Split
There are so many fun things to do in split - make sure you ive yourself time to check them all out. It's also a popular place to party.
I did this with my BF and it was just the two of us! We made good friends with our skipper (Alex) who was very nice. There is a small fridge below on board so you can bring your own drinks and snacks. It's a short ride out but you do cross the channel which can be quite choppy FYI but then you relax an...
Experience Romantic Sunset Sailing on a modern 36ft (11m) sail yacht | Hvar
Guys im not going to lie to you the first night I walked past this place and it was packed the line was out to the street. I thought no way could a place be that good… I neglect to inform you I was wrong. I tried it the following day - during the day...
Gelateria Emiliana est.2019
Im not veagan but with my BF I am open to trying things and it makes it easier to eat together. We ate here twice - they have a mushroom pasta that is really good and the vibes are really cute.
Barakokula plant-based, Split
When I say this was my favorite place in all of croatia… I mean it. The service was great (European service is normally much different) The oysters were the biggest I have ever had ( from south france) the tuna tartare was so fresh and the wine of co...
Adriatic Sushi + Oyster Bar
This is where we stayed in split. A very small but cute place that was about 10 mins from the “downtown” area. They didn't have a washer but there was a steamer and a blowdryer which was helpful. The bathroom and shower were nice and there was no hot...

When I say this homemade mushroom truffle pasta is one of the best things I ate there….. oh my lawd
baza* food bar & good vibes
Hvar
This is a little island off of the mainland of croatia - I highly recommend you give yourself a day or two to explore this beautiful little island.
I ate here one of the nights and both my BF and I loved it. He's vegan so he was happy they had a few options for him. I got one of the best mojitos I had in the country and the bao buns were devine.

We ate dinner here one night and it was amazing. I had this chocolate mousse dessert with hazelnut sauce on the bottom that I am still thinking about weeks later! 10/10
Leporini Restaurant – Main Menu
I never actually got a chance to eat here but there menu looked really good. They have some great reviews defenitely would check out next time.
Konoba Fig
This is nice romantic thing to do if you are with your significant other … or can go alone and stilll enjoy. Bring you own beer or wine and snacks and just relax on the sailboat.

Dubrovnik
This is where we started our trip - it does get busy on the weekends but being there during the week was nice.
This was one of the first places we ate a proper meal at in croatia and it was amazing! The service is great - food and wine is fantastic. They also have a location in both split and Hvar I believe.
Dalmatino Dubrovnik
This place looked insanse I never got a chance to try but my friend said it was worth it.
BANANITO FROZEN BANANA - Stradun 7, Dubrovnik | Corner
A very touristy thing but a very fun way to see the city! Well worth it for the views. You can spend as long as you want at the top. I suggest going for sunset.
Dubrovnik Cable Car | Best Views of Dubrovnik | Dubrovnik Cable Car
This was so much fun! They pick you up right in town and take you up the mountain. The views are amazing and the guides are so nice!
Zip Line Dubrovnik - Panorama Zip Line
Riding an ATV through the countryside is so cool! Such a fun little activity
3-Hour Dubrovnik Countryside ATV/Quad Safari Adventure Tour
You can also buy the ticket online when you get there - they have QR codes everywhere but this is a fun and cheap thing to do. Go early in the morning or later in the afternoon - i think you can go untill about 5pm.
Dubrovnik: Ancient City Walls & Wars Walking Tour
Montenegro
I highly suggest you add an extra day into your trip (or more) to check out this beautiful country!
This is the tour that we booked -it's a great way to a little bit of montenegreo on water. The skippers are very nice - thye play music and let you swim for a bit after the few stops.

This was honestly one of my favorite things about this whole trip! This is about a 45min to an hour hike up and it is a lot of stairs but the climb is so worth it! The views are insane- we saw mountain goats at one point and it was not crowded at all...
Fortress in Kotor
We stopped here after our hike and had a little sweet treat.

GetYourGuide Split: Krka Waterfalls Trip with Boat Cruise and Swimming
This Natioanl park is beautiful - what I will say though is it was SOOOO crowded - worth it but go early in the monring like as soon as they open. I wasn't even there in peak seaason. But whence you get past the basic loop trail that everyone does it...
