The long, rugged Dalmatian coast,
backed by high mountains with hundreds of offshore islands, is becoming
Europe's most popular vacation spot. In summer, Dalmatia is
flooded with Italian tourists attracted by the marvellous Dalmatian
cuisine. Each island in Dalmatia has its own character
from trendy hotspot to secluded getaway. The coast is dotted
with everything from major cities such as Split
and Zadar to picture-perfect beaches
such as lovely Brela
Beach. Where to Go in Dalmatia
