A Journey Begins: The Arrival in Split

As I stepped off the plane at Split Airport, a sense of nostalgia washed over me. The anticipation of a new journey, the thrill of the unknown, and the promise of adventure awaited. I was greeted by Davor, my driver for the Private Transfer from Split to Makarska. His warm smile and impeccable English immediately put me at ease. It was as if I had known him for years, a comforting presence in a foreign land.

The car was a haven of comfort, equipped with air conditioning and free WiFi, but it was the journey itself that captivated me. As we left the airport, Davor took the scenic route along the coastline. The azure waters of the Adriatic Sea glistened under the sun, and the gentle hum of the car was a soothing backdrop to the breathtaking views. It reminded me of the train journeys I used to take across Europe, where the journey was as much a part of the adventure as the destination.

The Scenic Route: A Drive to Remember

The drive from Split to Makarska was nothing short of magical. Davor, with his wealth of knowledge about the region, shared stories and insights that brought the landscape to life. We passed by charming villages, each with its own unique character, and the majestic mountains that stood as silent sentinels over the land.

As we drove, I couldn’t help but reminisce about my younger days, traveling by train through the European countryside. The leisurely pace of the journey allowed me to soak in the beauty of the surroundings, much like those long train rides where time seemed to stand still. Davor’s careful driving and engaging conversation made the transfer feel like a private tour, a rare and delightful experience.

A Fond Farewell: Until We Meet Again

As we approached Makarska, I felt a pang of sadness that the journey was coming to an end. The transfer had been more than just a means of getting from one place to another; it had been a journey of discovery, a chance to connect with the land and its people.

Davor’s kindness and professionalism left a lasting impression, and I knew that this would not be my last visit to Croatia. The beauty of the coastline, the warmth of the people, and the joy of slow travel had captured my heart. As I bid farewell to Davor, I promised myself that I would return to this enchanting land, to once again experience the magic of a journey that is as beautiful as the destination itself.
