As I stood on the dock in Split, I wondered how I could explore the stunning Croatian islands without a car.

It turns out that the ferry and catamaran routes from Split to Brač, Hvar, Vis, Šolta, Korčula, and Mljet make for a perfect car-free vacation.

In 2026, I plan to share my comprehensive travel plan, detailing the best routes and itineraries for a stress-free and enjoyable island-hopping experience in Croatia, proving that you don't need a car to soak up the beauty of these incredible islands.
