Split & Islands 4-Day Escape
Roman history and the islands, without two boat marathons in a row. Diocletian's Palace, Brač and Zlatni Rat by car ferry, one speedboat day to the Blue Cave and Hvar Town, and Trogir on the way to the airport.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
1
Arrival & Split Discovery
12:00
Airport pickup, transfer to a central Split hotel (about 30 min, est.)
13:00
Hotel check-in, lunch on the Riva (at leisure)
16:00
Diocletian's Palace walking tour (2h)→ Details
18:00
Marjan Hill sunset walk (1.5h)
20:00
Dinner in Varoš neighbourhood (recommendations provided)
Ops Note
Palace tours best before 11am or after 4pm to avoid cruise crowds, so the walk starts at 16:00. Marjan requires 200+ steps—assess fitness level.
2
Brač by Car Ferry: Vidova Gora & Bol
08:30
Car ferry Split → Supetar with our vehicle and driver (about 50 min)
09:30
Drive across the island to the Vidova Gora viewpoint (about 45 min, est.)
11:00
Down to Bol: Zlatni Rat beach, swimming and free time
13:30
Lunch at a konoba in Bol (at leisure, recommendations provided)
15:30
Drive back to Supetar (about 40 min, est.), short harbour stroll
17:00
Car ferry Supetar → Split, evening free
Ops Note
Island transport is our own vehicle on the car ferry, so the day needs no taxi boats or island buses. Split–Supetar (line 631) sails year-round and takes about 50 minutes (operator page, checked 22 Oct 2026); we set the sailings from the timetable on the date. This is a land day on purpose, so the programme never runs two long boat days back to back.
Optional Upgrades
- Hvar-night variant instead of Brač: catamaran to Hvar Town, guided walk, night on Hvar, Blue Cave boat from Hvar next day: quoted on request
- Olive-oil tasting on Brač: quoted on request
3
Blue Cave, Islands & Hvar Town
07:30
Speedboat from Split harbour
09:30
Blue Cave, Biševo Island (small boat entry)
10:30
Stiniva cove – swim stop, sea permitting
12:00
Budikovac lagoon off Vis – swimming
13:30
Hvar Town: lunch and free time (about 2h)
16:00
Pakleni Islands swim stop
17:30
Return to Split
Ops Note
The one long boat day (about 10h). Blue Cave entry is controlled at the cave and depends on the sea; if it is closed we extend Stiniva and add the Green Cave on Ravnik. If the forecast rules out the boat, we swap days 2 and 3, because the Brač day runs on the car ferry. Day order can change by sea forecast. Long day—assess client stamina.
Optional Upgrades
- Private speedboat tour (up to 10 pax): quoted on request
- Snorkeling gear rental: quoted on request
4
Trogir & Departure
09:00
Relaxed breakfast, hotel checkout
10:00
Transfer to Trogir (about 30 min, est.)
10:30
Trogir Old Town walking tour
12:30
Farewell seafood lunch on Trogir waterfront
14:30
Transfer to Split airport (about 10 min from Trogir, est.)
Ops Note
Trogir is about 10 min from the airport (est.), so it suits any afternoon departure. For a morning flight we run the Trogir walk on day 1 instead and keep day 4 to the transfer.
Sell Kit
30-Second Pitch
"Split is where Roman emperors meets island paradise. Four days gives you the best of both: walking through a 1,700-year-old palace one day, then hopping between islands the next. The Blue Cave is a bucket-list moment—this otherworldly blue light you can't get anywhere else—and the same boat day stops in Hvar Town for lunch. The other island day is Brač by car ferry with our own vehicle: the view from Vidova Gora and a swim at Zlatni Rat, with no early speedboat. It's the perfect mix of culture and islands for clients who want more than just beaches."
Common Objections
"Is 4 days enough for the islands?"
It's perfect for a highlights experience. You get two island days built differently—Brač by car ferry at an easy pace, then one speedboat day for the Blue Cave, the lagoons and Hvar Town. For clients wanting more islands, we add nights on Hvar or Vis per brief.
"What if the Blue Cave is closed?"
Entry depends on the sea on the day. If the cave is closed, we extend Stiniva and add the Green Cave. If the whole boat day is off, we swap it with the Brač day, which runs on the car ferry. We tell clients up front that day order can change by sea forecast.
"Is it too active for older clients?"
We can dial it back. Skip Marjan Hill, choose a private boat with easier access, and extend lunch breaks. The caves are accessible from small boats—no climbing required.
