Dalmatia [1] is the southern coastal region of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea.

[edit] Regions

Dalmatia is traditionally divided into three subregions, along the coast

  • Northern Dalmatia has lots of small islands and deep, connected inland. This subregion corresponds to Zadar county and Sibenik-Knin county of Croatia.
  • Central Dalmatia has several bigger islands (like Brač and Hvar), with mountains close to coast (like Biokovo) and somewhat separated inland. It is administrated as Split-Dalmatia county of Croatia.
  • Southern Dalmatia is a narrow strip of land around Dubrovnik, with weak connection to inland (Herzegovina, in another country Bosnia and Herzegovina). It roughly corresponds to the Dubrovnik-Neretva county of Croatia.

Most travelers come in through the new highway A1 Zagreb-Split. As of summer 2005, it finally connects these two Croatian cities, as well as the North Dalmatian coast. The highway is modern, fast and safe, but often becomes congested on weekends during holidays and in the summer at the tunnel of Sveti Rok.

Split and Dubrovnik have international airports and seaports.

[edit] Adventure tours

  • Adriatic Adventures [2] offer activities such as hiking, cycling, canoing, kayaking, exploring the medieval cities of Dubrovnik and Split, the idyllic islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korčula and the Krka, Paklenica and Plitvice Lakes National Parks.
  • Geographic Expeditions [3] offers a small group cruise aboard the Callisto. This 10 day cruise sails the glorious Dalmatian coast with stops in Hvar and Dubrovnik.
  • Lifejacket Adventures [4] offers unique kayak expeditions along the Adriatic Coast. One tour features Vis and Hvar Islands; the other travels from Korčula to Dubrovnik. In support are small traditional wooden fishing boats. An emphasis is placed on local food, wine and maritime culture/heritage.
  • Pedal and Sea Adventures [5] offers a bike tour through Southern Dalmatia, including the island of Korčula, the vineyards of Peljesac, and the towns Split, Hvar, Stari Grad and Korculal. Each night is spent aboard a private boat, en route to the next destination's ride. It's a great way to find the heart and soul of this poetic country.
