SAIL & STAY – Croatia mid-dalmatia

SPLIT

A vibrant and historic port city with a wealth of cultural and historic interest that successfully blends the old with the new. Local attractions include the 1,700 year old Diocletian's Palace and its catacombs in the city's waterfront area, which is a UNESCO world heritage site. The lively and cosmopolitan promenade lined with cafes and restaurants is within walking distance of our yacht base.

Hotel Split - 3* superior

The Hotel Split enjoys panoramic views of the Adriatic and nearby islands of Brac and Solta. The historic city of Split with its many bars and cosmopolitan restaurants is a short taxi ride, or for the more energetic, a 45 minute walk away. This modern, wellappointed and relatively secluded hotel is set into the local wooded hillside above a Blue Flag awarded beach amid attractive mature gardens. The hotel facilities include restaurant, bar, beach bar, freshwater swimming pool, a beauty treatment room with massage, tanning beds and sauna rooms. There is also a casino and nightclub for those not wanting to turn in too early. The hotel offers 204 air conditioned rooms with satellite TV, mini-bar and telephone. All rooms have a patio or balcony and a garden view.

DUBROVNIK

The jewel of the Adriatic, and probably the best preserved medieval city in the world. Its imposing walls date back to the 11th century and the city boasts a wealth of churches, monasteries, palaces and museums from the Venetian and earlier Byzantine periods. A walk along the ramparts is a must before exploring the many squares and cobbled streets hiding treasures too numerous to mention.

Hotel Lapad 3*

Situated on the approach to the Lapad peninsula, west of Dubrovnik and overlooking Gruz harbour, the Hotel Lapad is built in the style of two elegant 19th century Victorian pavilions centred round a large courtyard with swimming pool. The 192 rooms are provided on two storeys in the main pavilion and behind the reception are bars and a la carte restaurant. There is a regular bus service to the old city some 5km away and, during the summer months the hotel provides a boat service to local beaches. Rooms have satellite television and a telephone. Most rooms have garden or pool views and most have a balcony. Some rooms have air-conditioning for which a supplement is charged locally.

MAKARSKA

Arguably Croatia's most beautiful stretch of coast, with pretty white pebble beaches lined with lush green pine forest and ancient olive groves against a mountain backdrop. Known as the Makarska Riviera, the resort has a colourful, vibrant town centre, with its old harbour full of local boats and visiting yachts. There is a large selection of bars, shops and restaurants.

Hotel Villa Marija 4*

Situated in the centre of the small village of Tucepi and close to the yacht marina and coastal promenade - a popular feature of many villages in the Makarska Riviera, the Villa Marija is a wonderful, small family-run hotel that prides itself on its quality of service and excellent restaurant cuisine. A heated indoor and outdoor swimming pool are complemented by a large sun terrace, massage, sauna and fitness room. The hotel has 29 air-conditioned rooms, all with full or partial views of the sea or surrounding mountainside. Rooms have satellite television, a hairdryer, minbar, radio and telephone.
