One week is enough to move from Dubrovnik to Split in a relaxed way, taking in the best southern islands en route. Mljet’s calm, Korčula’s Old Town, Lastovo and Vis for quieter water, then Hvar and Brač to finish with more lively evenings.
This itinerary works equally well in reverse (Split → Dubrovnik).
