Chapter 01 2 nights

Split

Stay in the old center, where Roman walls meet café tables. A private walk gets you oriented; the waterfront and the rest of the afternoon are yours.

Judita Palace Heritage Hotel

A small heritage stay on Narodni trg, with a courtyard and Split’s old streets right outside. The reference is a 22 m² Superior Double Room for two.

  • Old-town square
  • Small heritage hotel
  • 22 m² reference room

A lively central setting rather than a beach resort. Arrange luggage assistance at the pedestrian-zone edge; confirm steps and the exact room layout.

Chapter 02 3 nights

Hvar

Trade the mainland for Hvar Town. Spend one morning on the water, another wandering the lanes, and leave plenty of time for a long lunch or the spa.

Adriana Hvar Spa Hotel

A harborfront base with a rooftop pool and spa, close to the passenger-ferry arrival. The 21 m² Superior Room, Sea View puts the harbor outside your window.

  • Hvar Town harbor
  • Rooftop pool and spa

The reference room is compact and has no balcony. This is a town stay, with beaches a walk or boat ride away; harbor activity and evening noise can vary.

Guided experience

A morning among the Pakleni Islands

CEDRUS-arranged local skipper

Take a private half-day boat outing for two, with swimming stops chosen around the weather. Return to Hvar without turning the whole day into a schedule.

The photograph shows Hvar Town and the surrounding sea, not a specific boat or swimming stop. The reference allows for a small skippered boat, fuel and basic equipment; the exact vessel, duration and route require confirmation. Weather may change or cancel the outing.

Hvar, at your own pace

Hvar Tourist Board

Wander the town, find a waterfront table or take the uphill walk toward the fortress. Keep a full day free of another hotel move.

Fortress entry, taxis, beach clubs, meals and any added island tour are separate. Uneven streets and the fortress climb may not suit every traveler.

Chapter 03 3 nights

Dubrovnik

Finish just outside the city walls. Explore the Old Town with a guide, then slow down beside the sea before flying home from Dubrovnik.

Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik

A waterfront finish within walking distance of the Old Town. The Tower Deluxe Room brings a sea view and balcony, with the hotel’s indoor pool and bathing platform below.

  • Near the Old Town
  • Sea-view balcony
  • Indoor pool and sea access

Sea view does not guarantee a direct Old Town view. Sea access is from a bathing platform, with steps and weather-dependent swimming rather than a sandy beach.

Guided experience

Old Town, before the long lunch

CEDRUS-arranged local guide

A private two-hour introduction to Dubrovnik’s streets and history. Walk the city walls independently afterward, or save them for a cooler part of the day.

The reference includes a local guide and city-wall admission for two. The walls involve exposed steps and little shade; the final timing follows openings, heat and cruise-ship traffic.

One last day by the Adriatic

Dubrovnik Tourist Board

A slow breakfast, a swim when conditions suit, and a final evening in town. There is no extra hotel change to squeeze in.

A separately quoted Lokrum visit or boat outing can replace free time when seasonal services and conditions allow. Meals and optional excursions are extra.
