Top Scenic Stops on a Dubrovnik – Split Private Transfer

Enjoy the Journey: Scenic Stops on a Dubrovnik–Split Private Transfer

Traveling from Dubrovnik to Split is more than just a transfer—it’s a scenic story unfolding along Croatia’s breathtaking Dalmatian coast. With a private driver, your journey transforms into a customizable adventure through medieval towns, UNESCO heritage, wine regions, and dramatic landscapes that line the Adriatic Sea.

Whether you’re a history lover, nature enthusiast, or Game of Thrones fan, this route offers much more than a simple ride.

Must-See Stops Along the Coastal Route

Ston – The Town of Salt and Walls

Just an hour from Dubrovnik, the fortified town of Ston offers two rare Croatian sights: some of the longest defensive stone walls in Europe (over 5.5 km!) and ancient salt pans still in operation. As you walk the stone pathways, you’ll get a sense of medieval strategy and tradition. Nearby Mali Ston is famous for its oysters—fresh, briny, and best enjoyed at a waterfront konoba. This is a must-stop for foodies and photographers alike.

Trsteno Arboretum – Botanical Beauty and Game of Thrones Magic

Only 25 km from Dubrovnik, Trsteno Arboretum is the oldest Renaissance garden in this part of Europe. Its exotic plants, shaded paths, and stunning sea views have inspired artists and dignitaries for centuries. But it became globally recognized when it appeared in Game of Thrones as the palace gardens of King’s Landing, particularly the scenes featuring Lady Olenna and Margaery Tyrell. A short visit immerses you in nature, history, and fantasy.

Pelješac Bridge & Panoramic Viewpoint

Crossing the Pelješac Bridge is not only a shortcut—it’s an experience. This newly built structure connects the Croatian mainland with the Pelješac Peninsula, bypassing the Neum corridor. Your driver can stop at the viewpoint to admire this architectural achievement and snap photos with the glittering sea in the background. The area also offers access to Pelješac wineries where you can sample local varietals like Dingač and Postup.

Makarska Riviera – Coffee with a View

Stretching between Split and Dubrovnik, the Makarska Riviera is a slice of Mediterranean paradise. Dotted with charming coastal towns such as Brela, Baška Voda, and Tučepi, this region is ideal for a relaxing coffee break with a view of turquoise waters and the looming Biokovo mountain range. A quick stop here lets you breathe in sea air, dip your toes in the water, or enjoy homemade gelato in a local café.

Klis Fortress – Where History Meets Fantasy

Rising above Split, Klis Fortress has stood for over 2,000 years, guarding the Dalmatian hinterland from various empires—from Romans and Byzantines to Ottomans. Today, this historic site is also famous for portraying Meereen in Game of Thrones, where Daenerys Targaryen first took control of the city. Explore its ancient ramparts, panoramic views of Split and the islands, and imagine dragons flying overhead. A true highlight for history buffs and fantasy fans alike.
