August is one of the best times of the year to visit Croatia’s coastal cities, where you can cool off with a swim in the Adriatic Sea and dine al fresco late into the evenings. Join this eight-day tour and you’ll not only get to visit Split and Dubrovnik, but you’ll stop at the best spots along the Dalmatian Coast on the way. Explore the Roman ruins of Split before experiencing the vibrant nightlife on Hvar, then visit the islands of Vis and Korčula. Finish off the trip in Dubrovnik’s beautiful and ancient old town.
