🇭🇷 Split Travel Guide | Beyond Island Hopping! 💎

Day 1: Arrival & Island Tour Booking 🚌 Bus from Dubrovnik to Split: Booked via FlixBus (~£20, 4-hour ride). 🌊 Riva Promenade: A 10-min walk from the bus stop—lined with island-hopping stalls (like a job fair!). ⛵ Tour Selection: We negotiated for a full-cover speedboat (avoid open boats to prevent sunburn!). 💰 Cost: €120 (5-island tour + Blue Cave) + €12 Blue Cave entrance fee. Day 2: Island Hopping (8:00 AM – 6:30 PM) ⏰ Schedule: 8:40-9:40: Milna Island 11:10: Blue Cave (15-min tour) 12:40-13:40: Blue Lagoon swimming 🏊♂️ 14:20-15:40: Lunch on a random island 🍽️ 16:20-17:40: Hvar Island ⚠️ Review: The itinerary felt chaotic—only 4 islands visited, and scenic repetition caused fatigue. Too much time on the boat! Day 3: River Rafting (Better Than Islands!) 🚣♂️ Booked via GetYourGuide: Clear water with fish and ducklings! 🤸 Highlights: Cliff jumping, swimming, drinking waterfall泉水, and cave exploring (climbing through a waterfall into a cave!). 🧑‍🤝‍🧑 Guide Andrew: A relaxed American with fascinating stories—traveled Europe, worked in Australia and the Americas! 🍽️ Restaurant Recommendations 1️⃣ Konoba Nevera (as seen on Divas Who Travel!) Must-try: Seafood pot (massive portion for 2!). 📍 Put Firula 17, Split 2️⃣ ZOI (Michelin-recommended) €95 for a 4-course menu (fish/meat options).
