    Vodice is a tourist center which is known for its age and the tradition it has. We start our Split Sailing Itinerary with Vodice because it has received “The Tourism Flower Award” due to its attractiveness to visitors. There are many churches and beautiful sights to see. You have to visit the church of Karmela and the church of the Holy Cross with its bell tower. It’s also an island full of sports activities such as scuba diving, fitness in the sea, cycling, beach volleyball. Šibenik is also a city known for its tradition and its cultural heritage. It’s the oldest self-settled city in Croatia. Šibenik is an ideal destination during summer because of the summer festivals which take place every year during that period. You should also visit the monuments, the city walls and the church, which are the most characteristic buildings in the city. On our alternative Split Sailing Itinerary to the North Dalmatian Coast, we want to encourage you to visit the Kornati Islands with the National Park and the Nature Park of Telašćica, which is only a few nautical miles away. Both of them are known worldwide for their magnificent natural beauty. In the parks, you will have the opportunity to see species of fauna and flora, hidden caves and beautiful waterfalls. On day 3 of our Split Sailing Itinerary, we suggest visiting Iž. It is an island separated in two little villages, Veli Iž and Mali Iž. The whole island is surrounded by olive gardens, fig trees, and vegetable plantations. Iž is well

Getting There

The easiest way to begin your Split Sailing Itinerary is by air — Split’s International Airport connects to hundreds of destinations across Europe and beyond. If you’re already in the region, you can also travel by car, bus, or train. We can organise private transfers from the airport or station to the marina, with prices starting from approximately €20 for two people each way.

Weather

The Split Sailing Itinerary — particularly around the South and North Dalmatian Islands — is best enjoyed from May through September, when long, sunny days and warm seas create ideal sailing conditions. Average daytime temperatures in summer reach around 28°C. To avoid peak-season crowds, consider sailing in early June or mid-September. October is cooler (around 17°C on average), with a mix of sunshine and showers — perfect for quieter anchorages and peaceful exploration.
