Savour the sun-soaked glory of coastal Split. Medieval meets ancient Rome, This seafront city stretches from the golden beaches to the ancient streets of Old Town. Kickstart your Split tour with a visit to the stunning Diocletian's Palace, then hit the town for a traditional Croatian dinner and some beachside dancing.

Dubrovnik is crowd-pleaser, with plenty of UNESCO sites for history lovers, dozens of Game of Thrones filming locations for TV buffs, and gorgeous beaches and cliffside bars for those who want to soak up the Adriatic. Complete the scene with sunset over an apéritif and plate of fresh octopus. Simply magical.

Dubrovnik is now one of the most famous destinations on the planet, thanks to Game of Thrones. To see the city from a different perspective, hop in a kayak and make your way around the Old City walls, which tower over you from the water and give a real sense of how powerful Dubrovnik would have been as a fortress in its hay-day. If you get tired along the way, there are plenty of hidden coves and caves to explore.

Once a creek that separated two towns: Kaptol, and Gradec, Tkalciceva Street, or Tkalca as locals call it, is a cute pedestrian street lined with cafes and small shops on both sides of the street. Many of these are housed in small historical houses of different colours, which just adds to its charm - very photogenic! The street starts just behind the main Jelacic Square and goes all the way to Kaptol Center, make sure to check it out when you are in Zagreb.

I loved our beautiful boat trip to Hvar, one of the most stunning islands in the Croatian archipelago. We set sail from Split harbour across the Adriatic Sea, then explored the historic Hvar Old Town on foot, and finished with some fresh seafood by the beach. You can even head to the Venetian hilltop fortress to soak up the gorgeous views!
