The kids (6, 12, and 15) love the famous Zlatni Rat beach on Bra\u010d – it’s like a natural water park with its changing shape and crystal-clear water. Our teenagers enjoy the atmosphere in Hvar town, while the little one is fascinated by the Roman ruins in Split.” “Vis island is our secret gem – less crowded and more authentic. The Blue Cave excursion to Bi\u0161evo is magical, especially in the morning light. \u0160olta is perfect for peaceful family dinners in traditional konobas with locally caught fish.”","og_url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/","og_site_name":"Sailaway Vacations","article_modified_time":"2025-08-20T17:57:47+00:00","og_image":[{"width":800,"height":600,"url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/split-Bewi6FbB.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"8 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/","name":"Croatia sailing - region - Central Dalmatia - Sailaway Vacations","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/split-Bewi6FbB.jpg","datePublished":"2025-08-20T17:39:36+00:00","dateModified":"2025-08-20T17:57:47+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/split-Bewi6FbB.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/split-Bewi6FbB.jpg","width":800,"height":600},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-central-dalmatia\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Croatia sailing – region – Central Dalmatia"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/","name":"Sailaway Vacations","description":"","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#organization","name":"Sailaway Vacations","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sailaway-vacations-original-logo-lichter-blauw.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/sailaway-vacations-original-logo-lichter-blauw.png","width":750,"height":300,"caption":"Sailaway Vacations"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2272"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2272\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2289,"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2272\/revisions\/2289"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
