Dubrovnik’s walls rising from the sea are breathtaking, especially at sunset. The region is more challenging for sailing with longer distances between islands, but the rewards are incredible.” “Mljet National Park with its saltwater lakes is magical – our kids love swimming in the warm, calm waters of the big lake. Lastovo is for the adventurous – incredibly remote and wild, with some of the clearest night skies in Europe. It’s perfect for experienced sailors seeking solitude.” \u00a0","og_url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/","og_site_name":"Sailaway Vacations","article_modified_time":"2026-09-07T10:15:43+00:00","og_image":[{"width":800,"height":600,"url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dubrovnik-DuAHy7Pe.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Est. reading time":"5 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/","name":"Croatia sailing - region - South Dalmatia - Sailaway Vacations","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dubrovnik-DuAHy7Pe.jpg","datePublished":"2025-08-20T19:43:57+00:00","dateModified":"2026-09-07T10:15:43+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dubrovnik-DuAHy7Pe.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/dubrovnik-DuAHy7Pe.jpg","width":800,"height":600},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/croatia-sailing-region-south-dalmatia\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Croatia sailing – region – South 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\/2293","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=2293"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2293\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3158,"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2293\/revisions\/3158"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sailaway-vacations.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
