Issue 07 · Dubrovnik to Split

Adriatic

A city drawn by its walls, a grotto dripping since 1502, a tower always in the gap.

Croatia 6 Days 240 km April 2026

Six days along the coast. Dubrovnik from the wall at seven in the morning, before the ticket queue exists. A renaissance garden in Trsteno. Then Split, where a Roman palace became a city and the bell tower is the compass.
