My husband and l will be staying a few days in Dubrovnik and for the peace and quiet, Vis. We also want to see both Hvar and Korcula but l feel a day trip won%26#39;t be enough. Is it possible to do a day trip on one of these islands then stay maybe two nghts on the other? I get the feeling that Korcula is %26quot;busier%26quot; with more things to see. As for Hvar,I read in %26quot;The rough guide%26quot; that Stari grad and Hvar Town are really the prettiest places to visit so maybe a day trip is all that is needed there? But... what about the lavender fields and beautiful scenery, is it hard to get to?! Sorry l%26#39;m rambling!
As for Trogir, some say it%26#39;s prettier than Split l%26#39;m thinking allocating a day trip for Split and maybe two days n Trogir. It sounds quieter with more of a village feel. Any help would be appreciated!
PS: If we have to choose between Hvar and Korcula, l%26#39;m asking the impossible l%26#39;m sure but which one would be recommended? We love history, pretty scenery and not overly crowded,
Thanks

Hi,
I have been in Vis last year and, you%26#39;re right, it was TOO quiet.... just an advice: find the accommodation close to Cheshka Villa; why don%26#39;t you choose Komiza?????
Day trips are possible all over Croatia, just, go in some tour-agency;
both, Korcula and Hvar are small, so, you can see everything in 2,3 hours;
as regards lavender fields, it depends when, in the spring or summer????
between Split and Trogir? go for Trogir... it is only 26km away from Split and you can take the bus /or the boat/ to visit Split...
I%26#39;d do it in this way
Dubrovnik /one day trip Korcula/ or 1 night
Dubrovnik-Split by bus
ferry Split-Vis...
back to Split, than Trogir by bus /one day trip to Hvar - you can do it from Vis too
fly back to..... from Split AP
bye

Vis is fabulous! Definitely not too quiet for me. Just loved it - one of my favourite islands in Croatia (or in the world for that matter). Another is Mljet. I truly do not know what to say about Hvar and Korcula as I have other preferences. They are gorgeous but too commercial and resorty for me. It depends what you like.
I think Trogir is far prettier than Split and such a charming place to stay. However, Split can be interesting for a day. Trogir isn%26#39;t really quiet (it%26#39;s bustling) but much smaller. It really is a lovely place - a must do in my opinion.

Another vote for staying in Trogir over Split. Split, and in particulary Diocleatian%26#39;s Palce, is well worth a day trip but strolling around Trogir in the evening is much nicer...and romantic.
If you have 2 full days in Trogir you could also consider hiring a car and going to Krka national park for the day.

Talk about Sophie%26#39;s Choice! I too loved Vis and stayed in Komiza. Hvar is lovely and there is much more to it than the 2 ports. However, I haven%26#39;t been in lavender season. Trogir is much nicer than Split but the boats go from Split and if you have to catch any early boats that might help. Trogir does allow visits north as another post said - Krka is worth a visit. You can go from Vis to Hvar on the boat and from Hvar to Korcula (Vela Luka) so maybe everything is possible? I have only been passed Korcula on the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split but it looked well worth a visit. However, I couldn%26#39;t genuinely say Hvar or Korcula as I haven%26#39;t been to Korcula.
Of course, none of this helps with your decision...

Thank you everyone! We have booked 4 nights in Trogir with the intention of doing a few days trips to Split, Krk and possibly Vis. Hvar l think we will miss as much as it pains me! But we%26#39;ll be staying 7 nights in Dubrovnik. l know everyone says 3 nights are enough but we want to visit the small villages around Dubrovnik as well as the town itself. Also the Elaphite Islands, they look gorgeous and they%26#39;re close to Dubrovnik so there%26#39;s no hassle to get to them.
We want to take our time and relax! Can%26#39;t wait...
