TrogirA city on two sides of an ocean: as Trogir connects the mainland with the island, this place also connects different cultures and ages. As an ancient capital of trade and today's tourist site her face has changed so many times that you will discover something new even after many days. |

SplitEven emperor Diocletian felt at home here, and everyone interested in culture will immediately recognize why: temples, fragments of ancient city walls, palaces and churches form the frame and backdrop of the one and only true metropolis of Dalmatia. Who is more interested in modern creations, will find them in the many boutiques and shops of Split. |

ZadarThe canal of Zadar separates the city, which was originally built on a narrow peninsula, from the mainland. The seaside town in central Dalmatia is still clearly marked by its history as a Roman holiday resort. Ancient buildings were not destroyed by numerous wars and the cultural, economic and musical legacy lives on in the currently largest Dalmatian city up to this day. |

SibenikIn the estuary of the Krka River, built on terraces on the limestone, lies Sibenik, which is sometimes considered the most beautiful of all the Dalmatian cities, and has always been known as one of the most remarkable. Approximately 43,000 people live in this industrial city, where in the center nothing reminds you of the gray blocks of flats and desolate factories that lay around the historic core like a belt. |

PrimostenSurrounded by seven other islands and only conntected to the mainland by a bridges path which was built five centuries ago, Primosten near the Krka National Park actually is the proverbial "pearl of the Adriatic". |

RogoznicaOnly about 900 people live on this peninsila today. Maybe it's the seclusion that allowed so many legends to entwine around this place and its inhabitants up to this day. On the other hand: these stories might all be true... |

SolinAs if the time had stopped, the cityscape of Solin is dominated by buildings from long ago. Here, the antiquity belongs to the daily life more than anywhere else. So it's natural to play football on an excavation site or to have a picnick between ancient ruins. |

KastelaOn the road from Trogir to Split, between the island of Ciovo and the mountain Kozjak, you drive past seven medieval fortifications, the so-called Kastela. They were built out of fear of the Turkish army, later farmers and fishermen settled on the access road. |

Dubrovnik"The paradise on earth", as George Bernard Shaw gushed over the formerly autonomous city-state and current capital of Dalmatia, is located entirely in the southern foothills of Croatia, about the height of Rome. St. Blaise, patron of Dubrovnik, looks down on the narrow streets and main avenues from many buildings and flags – as if he still wanted to protect his city from all evil. |
As beautiful as the cities of Dalmatia is also its nature: as planned by architects, mountains stand out and waterfalls plunge down, and forests, meadows, beaches and bays were arranged in perfect harmony. Enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of creation!
