Heading north from Split, this itinerary takes in the quaint island of Solta on day 1 and heads back to the mainland to visit the beautiful town of Rogoznica. Day 3 takes guests north to Skradin, where the beautiful Krka National Park is located. The itinerary then continues south to the stunning islands of Zlarin, Kaprije and Solta. On the 7th day, this itinerary returns to the waterfront city of Split.

- Try authentic Croatian cuisine in Solta
- Visit Dragon's Eye Lake, Rogoznica
- Take in the beautiful Krka Waterfalls, Krka National Park
- Relax and unwind on the charming islands of Zlarin & Kaprije
SUMMARY
Make your way to ACI Marina, where your Yacht Charter will begin! If you’re a little early for check-in, explore the incredible Old Town of Split, located a short walk away. The 4th Century Diocletian's Palace is the perfect spot to while away a few hours, exploring the many shops, galleries, cafes and bars within the palace walls.
The palace itself was once home to thousands, however today its sprawling remains include more than 200 buildings, cobbled stone streets and charming courtyards that are just waiting to be explored.
Before check-in is also a good time to stock up on any supplies you’ll need for the week. We would recommend only purchasing enough food and drinks for the first day or two, as you’ll be able to pick up fresh produce throughout the week.
