During the high season, you might be booked into alternative accommodations which are not listed in the description. Any alternative accommodation will be of the same or better standard as those described.

7 Breakfasts are included. The information that you receive upon arrival will give you suggestions regarding where to eat lunch and dinner each day. On some days you will need to buy picnic supplies to take on the walk with you, but again all of this information about where you can buy these supplies will be listed for you.

You will be provided with the GPS tracks in the Macs Smartphone App and although our local partner supplies detailed route notes and maps we recommend the app as the best form of navigation. The routes are sometimes way-marked but at times they are not, so you will have to keep focused on the app and its maps as you walk.

You can start this trip on any day between March to June and from September to October. As it gets so hot in Croatia during the middle of summer, we do not recommend this walk in July or August. 

Time of Year

You should expect a warm Mediterranean climate with usually clear, sunny days from March right through to around September, although rain is possible at any time of year. In March the spring is starting to arrive and the amount of rainfall is lessening. It's a good time to go walking before the temperatures in Croatia start to rise, and before the main tourist season kicks off, so the towns and cities will be quieter. The springs months offer warm sunshine, and pleasant walking conditions. May is when most wildflowers are coming into bloom and when the majority of restaurants and shops have opened for the start of the main tourist season. The autumn months are also a favourable time of year, boasting cooler weather and a striking landscape made up of autumnal colours. In autumn, you can also expect some thunderstorms, normally in the afternoon or evening. It's worth noting that the earlier or later in the year you choose to travel the higher the likelihood of rain (October-March is when the rainfall is more likely). Also before May and in late October some local shops, and restaurants may have reduced opening times or have closed for the winter. If the accommodation has a swimming pool these will normally be closed prior to May/June and after September.

The closest airport to fly into is Split Airport which is located 25km outside the city. It is served by numerous airlines. To get from the airport to the centre of Split there is a shuttle bus that runs frequently. The journey time is approximately 25 minutes.

There is also a local bus that runs which is less expensive but takes longer. A taxi also takes about 25 minutes and costs approximately £60-£80.
