"Long drive but the A1 is beautiful—tunnels then the sea. Driver stopped in Zagreb for lunch and we still reached Split by late afternoon. Comfortable and easy with luggage."

"We split the trip with a Plitvice detour—the driver arranged the timing perfectly. Dropped us right by the Riva, five minutes from Diocletian's Palace. Excellent value."
