Last Updated on May 10, 2019

The following is a guest post from Wandering Feathers.

Where can you find picturesque cliffsides, red-tiled roofed buildings, and romantic old towns all in one place? Simple, the Dalmatian Coast.

The Dalmatian Coast is a 200-mile stretch of Croatian coastline from Zadar to Dubrovnik. The charming old towns that made this region famous owe their origins to the many Mediterranean empires, including Venice and Greece.

The old towns of Croatia are home to some of the most beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea. The old towns feature towering cathedrals, sprawling squares, colossal walls, and winding romantic alleyways.

However, each destination has its own special flair. Some reflect a Venetian influence, others have a multitude of modern cafes and bars, and some are quiet and romantic. Whatever appeals to your travel taste-buds, you can find it in the old towns of the Dalmatian Coast.
