SPLIT - more than just a movie set
Another UNESCO World Heritage Site awaits you, this time in the city of Split. Diocletian's Palace is definitely worth a visit and gives you an idea of what life must have been like in the Roman era. In contrast, the cafés and restaurants bring you back to the present like guardians of modern times. Treat yourself to a delicious homemade ice cream as you stroll along the promenade. There's always something to see here. Afterwards, it's a good idea to ride your motorcycle directly to Klis Fortress, 10 km away. It is strategically located and was used as a film set by the Game of Thrones filmmakers, among others. You shouldn't miss out on the spectacular view!

HVAR - Paradise island kingdom
The island boasts large yachts, almost always sunny weather, clear water along numerous dream beaches, enticing purple lavender fields and a history dating back over 2,000 years. To get to Hvar, you can take the ferry from Split with your motorcycle. The ferry from Drvenik is another option, but the journey from Baška Voda to Drvenik is rather challenging.
The town of Hvar certainly provides a good sightseeing kick. Visit St. Stephen's Square with its historic buildings, admire the large marina on the vibrant waterfront promenade, St. Stephen's Cathedral, the 15th century Franciscan monastery or the mighty Fortica fortress.
You can reach the Paklinski Otoci archipelago by water cab. Contrary to their name, the so-called Hell Islands are a true paradise on earth. Snorkeling, diving, sailing or relaxing hours at the beach club will turn your vacation into a true island dream.
Other excursion destinations on Hvar are Stari Grad Vrboska and Jelsa.

MAKARSKA - the motorcyclist's dream
The town of Makarska on the Biokovo mountain range is a good starting point for motorcyclists to ride up the Sveti Jure mountain. The ride is adventurous, as the road is narrow and winding. However, if you saddle up early in the morning, you won't encounter any other vehicles on the way up. These are the biggest source of danger here, as the road gets very narrow in some places. It is therefore best to do without your side cases. Once you reach the top, you can enjoy the magnificent view, which stretches all the way to Bosnia-Herzegovina. Make sure you take advantage of a day with good weather, otherwise it will be too dangerous and you won't have the phenomenal view from the top that Sveti Jure can otherwise offer you.
The coastal town of Makarska itself is very popular. Of course, because the town offers wonderful beaches, is located directly on the Biokovo Nature Park and also has a beautiful old town with impressive buildings and many culinary highlights along the waterfront promenade.
Experience the motorcyclist's dream and ride along the Makarska Riviera, you will be amazed.

VIS - the unknown dream island
The island of Vis has had to endure a lot in its history. Numerous occupations have left a lasting mark on the island, which is impressively demonstrated by countless military bases and fortifications. Due to its favorable location, it has always been hotly contested. This even went so far that Vis was referred to as the "forbidden" island, as foreigners were not allowed to enter. Only since the establishment of the Republic of Croatia has the previously unthinkable become possible. Now everyone can enjoy discovering this wonderful island. Fantastic bays invite you to relax, while the towns and villages on the island provide the necessary variety.
For culture vultures, the town of Vis has plenty to offer, including an archaeological site, many fortresses and former military bases (including a submarine base) and mysterious caves. Take at least a whole day for Vis, the wealth of activities is enormous. Vis has some very beautiful beaches and bays for relaxing.
Komiza lies at the foot of Mount Hum. The lively coastal town - like the whole island - is known for its wonderful bays and beaches, but also has some interesting buildings to offer, such as a three-storey palace and an old sardine factory.
The island of Bisevo is just a stone's throw away from the island of Vis. You can take a cab boat to the island, which is famous for its Blue Grotto. The mysterious Blue Cave of Bisevo is definitely worth a visit.
Other places on the island are sometimes only accessible via unpaved roads, but you will be rewarded with a visit to villages that are far away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

The small town of Imotski behind the Biokovo Mountains is best known for its red and blue lakes and is a good place to pass through on a motorcycle.
