Walk and hike from Split to Dubrovnik

Start the day with a ride on the morning public ferry to the island Brač. Besides tourism and olive oil production, Brač is particularly famous for its special white building stone. Since ancient times this stone was used in construction and examples can be seen all over the world, for example the entire Diocletian’s Palace in Split as well as parts of the White House and many other sites were built with Brač stone. Therefore, stone masonry and stone quarrying are still present on the island. You can choose between a couple of hiking options and walk past numerous olive groves, traditional fishermen villages, stone walls and quarries, beautiful coves and pebble beaches. Both walking options include nice coastal parts where you might want to take a dip in the crystal-clear sea of Brač before riding the ferry back to Split.
