I think I've fallen in love - Croatia is my new favourite place on the planet (well, this week anyway). After flying into Split it is a 10-minute taxi ride to Trogir, a very old coastal town where the super yachts pull in (briefly) to pick up their passengers, ie. moi!
Wherever you look the coast is beautiful even in the populated areas - this is the coastline between Split and Trogir...
and this is Trogir as you approach from the sea.
We headed up the coast straight away to the island of Hvar about 90 minutes away by sea (cruising at a mere 26 knots in our modest canoe...).
Hvar is a gorgeous little seaside old town which reminds me of Venice, with people and boats of all shapes and sizes, and the best bit is you can only get there by private boat or ferry.
It's so small that what super yachts there are have to snuggle in cheek by jowl with the locals and don't seem to receive any special treatment. The general atmos is just about perfect. And I'm sure helped immeasurably by blue sky, crystal clear azure water and 35 degrees every day... Jealous much?! I know I am, I don't ever want to leave!!
