Blessed with high mountains, dark blue seas, sunny climate and thousands of islands, Dalmatia is truly a place for the travel connoisseurs. It is one of the cleanest and the greenest of the Croatian regions with its thick forests, clean Adriatic Sea and virgin areas untouched by civilization. The birth place of Marco Polo, Dalmatia is steeped in history and the abundance of monuments and ancient culture tell the story of the glorious past gone by. Thousands years of history and the majestic rule of the Croatian kings have all been carved into eternity.

While the coastal cities like Ston, Bribir and Biskupija are renowned for their archelogical finds, it is the cathedrals in Zadar, Šibenik, Trogir, Split, Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik that display the works of famous artists of the previous eras.

But the claim to fame for these cities isn’t limited to their historical heritage, most of them are happening and popular tourist places as well.

For nautical tourists and surfers Dalmatia is a virtual heaven. The sandy beach "Zlatni rat" on the island of Brac is extremely popular with surfers. For non surfers there are plenty of other activities like hang gliding, nightclubs and restaurants.

Split and Hvar are great for yachters and for those who want to savour the theatre and festival experience.
