We are visiting Croatia for 3 weeks in May/June. As we are Aussies and not used to driving on the wrong side of the road (joke!) we though we might fly into Dubrovnik and join an Intrepid travel trip from Dubrovnik to Split (7 days). We would then have about a week in Split to venture out to the country areas, including Plitvic National Park. Hopefully we will be confident enough to drive by then. Any suggestions for other trips either on the way to Plitvic or nearby villages.
We are considering a crewed yacht trip with Lazy Winch from Split to various island for the third week.
If anyone has any suggestions or feedback on any of these ideas, it would be much appreciated.

Hi true blues,
we are also travelling to croatia may/june but not ure where to go let us know if you can help us out. thanks.

Hi sounds like a great trip! Only suggestion I would have is not to spend so much time in the split area you would have time to explore either Montenegro or Slovenia lake bled etc. I have some mates who did the Lazy Winch yachting trip round the Islands they had a great time if you contact me I will pas on their email so you can check it out.

I did a Sail Croatia trip in September last year, which was really fun - pretty budget though! Was about 18 others on the boat (all Aussies, South Africans and Kiwis who base themselves in London). Stopped at heaps of islands %26amp; had a good time, nice %26amp; relaxing. From memory it was around $650 AUD for the week (this included most meals). Their website is: www.sail-croatia.com

The economy cruises such as those by Sail Croatia, Bosmere Travel and Seafarers are much different to those offered by Lazy Winch which are more of a personal yacht type trip. At the end of the day it is down to your budget and what you want to get out of it. Check the prices and see what you can afford. Simon from Lazy Winch is a yachtsman whereas the others are for people wanting to visit loads of places as tourists rather than as sailors.

There are several ways to see the islands, but the most common are by ferry, using a budget cruise on a boat that looks like it can sail but usaully charges around under engine, or a slower and more personal trip on a sailing boat, such as Lazy Winch or www.sailcroatia.co.uk, which I found particularlt helpful.

Unless hooked to Plitvice check Krka Falls national park.Similar scenery but much closer. ( less road hassle,more time on the pond).
Besides,you may (almost) go to park entrance saling! (Skradin has yacht marina)
|||
Thanks everyone for the very helpful feedback! We have booked the Lazy Wynch so that is one decision made!
The info on time spent in Split and Plitvice is much appreciated. We%26#39;ll have a closer look at our plans now.

Hello there!
I%26#39;ve just seen the blog, and saw some interesting things. I am Croatian but live and work in Switzerland, in a yacht charter company. Feel free to contact me for advices in Croatia, sailing areas and above all restaurants. YOu must know that not all of them are tourist-friendly!!
Have fun!!
Sandra

If you have 7 days I would spent it in Trogir - from here you can visit Split, Šibenik, primošten, National park Krka and Plitvice, and even day trips to small nearby islands. It can all be arranged by bus or car, up to 2 hours drive from Trogir, and from my experience, untill now, it works out ant least 5 days to wisit the whole area of central damatia from trogir and a day or 2 on islands
