The Dalmatian Islands are one of those places that get under your skin. I first visited back in 2006 — Hvar and Brač — and I’ve been coming back ever since.
Under this tag, you’ll find everything I’ve covered across the Dalmatian Islands: towns and villages, the best beaches, ferry connections, local life, and the hidden corners most visitors never reach. Every article is the written companion to a video I filmed on location, giving you both the visual experience and the practical detail.
If you’re thinking about visiting one of the Dalmatian Islands — or trying to choose between a few — the articles below are a good place to start. Each one digs into a specific place: what it looks like, what’s there, how to get there, and whether it’s worth your time. Honest and first-hand.
I keep visiting new islands and adding new content, so this is a growing collection. There’s already plenty to explore — and more on the way.
At the eastern end of the island of Brač lies the municipality of Selca, which is by no means a typical holiday hotspot, but I absolutely love the place. My first brief visit to the Selca municipality was in 2007, and my first proper holiday there came in 2011 when

The name Stari Grad means Old Town, which is a fitting name for one of the oldest cities in Croatia and Europe. This ancient Greek town was originally called Faros when it was founded in the 4th century BC. Later, the town became the administrative capital of the island and
When on holiday in Hvar and wanting to explore the island, you can, of course, do so by car. However, there are other options, such as renting a bicycle, an e-bicycle, a scooter, or another type of vehicle. Alternatively, you can join a quad tour, as we did. I brought
When people talk about going to Hvar, they usually mean the city of Hvar, not the island itself. The city has become a super popular destination over the last two decades. I have some news for you: there are other awesome places on Hvar Island, like Jelsa. I have never
Join me on the ferry from Split to Hvar Island, one of the sunniest islands in Croatia. We’re traveling by the car ferry route from Split to Stari Grad. Note: There is also a fast ferry on this route. When the weather’s good, this is a really beautiful ferry trip,
Have you ever passed by a place and told yourself, “I need to visit there one day”? That’s exactly how I felt about Krapanj Island, which I’ve admired countless times while driving the coastal road from Split to Šibenik. Well, guess what? I finally visited Krapanj Island in combination with
I finally made it! Kornati National Park has been on my bucket list since I started traveling around Croatia in 2006. Despite receiving several invitations over the years, I never managed to find a day for a trip. My trip with Maslina Tours not only included a visit to Kornati
In today’s video, we take you on a self-catering island ”hopping” tour to islands Kaprije and Žirje in the Šibenik Archipelago. The Šibenik Archipelago is less known than the Zadar Archipelago with Kornati Islands, the National Park, and Telašćica Nature Park, but it is a real gem. The archipelago boasts
