🇭🇷 Split Island Hopping + Road Trip Guide 💰

I just realized our 7-day trip cost only €660 per person—including rental car, island hopping, accommodation, transport, and meals! Though known as expensive, smart planning makes it affordable! 🚤 Island Hopping (Highlight!) Book online or compare prices at Riva Promenade stalls (featured in Divas Who Travel!). Many operators offer 5-island tours with Blue Cave (~€180pp). We compared 4-5 stalls—prices were fixed. Finally chose Stall No. 7 for a 3-island full-day tour (€60pp)—insane value! (Call via Fig. 12 if needed.) Included: Boat ticket + 3 islands + lunch (fresh fish/pasta/chicken) + unlimited wine, OJ, coffee, lemonade, water! Fun extras: Inflatable water slide + free snorkeling gear! Vibe was 👌: Everyone in swimwear, sunbathing, jumping off the boat, listening to music—worth every penny! 🚗 Road Trip: Split → Dubrovnik Rental: Sixt (slightly pricier but no deposit needed with full insurance + accepts Chinese driver’s license!). Cost: ~€300 total (rental, full insurance, gas, drop-off fee). Sixt has two pickup points (airport/city)—book city pickup online early! Start early! We left at 2:30 PM and arrived at 11:30 PM (9 hrs with stops)—night mountain driving is tiring! 🌊 Coastal Drive Experience The route winds along the stunning Adriatic coast—azure sea on one side, green mountains on the other! Friends screamed “So beautiful!” the whole time 😍. Stop at Omiš: A postcard-perfect town nestled in a canyon river mouth! Cliffs, castles, and sea views—perfect for photos. We had a relaxed lunch here with ocean breezes. Pull over at scenic bays and viewpoints to snap pics and soak in the vibe. Oh, life! #Croatia #Split #IslandHopping #RoadTrip #BudgetTravel #AdriaticCoast
