Thanks to HBO’s series Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik may be the most famous city on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast — but it’s not the only one with clear, ink-blue water, centuries-old walls, cathedrals, and a sunny Mediterranean climate. The walls of Dubrovnik are definitely the most famous spot in the old city. It gives you great views on the sea and on the old town, and it’s definitely a must. The city also offers top-quality Michelin restaurants with the most amazing views.
Zadar

Zadar is very famous for Saharun, one of the country’s best beaches. Its white sand -unusual for Croatia – and gently deepening turquoise shallows have led some to compare it to the Caribbean.
The Sea organ is a must-see. This is an architectural sound art object located in Zadar and an experimental musical instrument, which creates lovely chimed tunes using only the rolling power of sea waves.
Greeting to the Sun is another installation of the brilliant architect symbolizing the communication between man and nature. This stirring monument consists of 300 multi-layered glass plates that absorb solar energy during the day and create a spectacular waterfront light show just after sunset.
How do I get from here to there?
Dalmatia can be best explored by car or rental car. This is a great way to visit all the beautiful places and attractions on your own.
The bus lines are also very good, and if you’re flying, you can fly to Split. Yellow Taxi in Split also offers trips.
