Dubrovnik
No phrase captures Dubrovnik better than âParadise on Earth.â Step inside those ancient stone walls and peel back centuries of history. Uncover magic around every corner as you wander the historic laneways, get starstruck by the filming locations of Game of Thrones, or kayak in the crystal-clear waters beyond the city borders.
Croatia Island-Hopping
Wondering what a day in the life looks like on our Croatia trips? Enjoy lazy mornings gliding across the ocean, lounging on the sundeck, curling up with a good book and indulging in food spreads that taste like heaven on a plate. When evening rolls around, raise a glass with your new travel crew. Itâs more than a dream come true.
Hvar
If you think that Hvar throws a good party, think bigger. Get ready for one of the most exhilarating evenings of your life at Croatiaâs most iconic beach clubs and underground lounges. Dance to the DJ sets, catch the famous fire shows and sip cocktails over the ocean views. Your perfect night out in Hvar is just waiting to be found.
Split
From the moment you land in Split on our Croatia tours, you wonât be able to get this city out of your head. Backed by mountains and opening onto the Adriatic Sea, its natural beauty speaks for itself. What takes Split into legendary status is Diocletian's Palace: stunning Roman ruins in the bustling heart of the city.
Plitvice Lakes
Unveil Croatiaâs enchanting fairytale setting at the Plitvice Lakes, where cascading waterfalls lead to hidden caves, forested hills and bright emerald pools of water. Wooden footbridges connect all 16 of the national parkâs famous lakes, inviting you closer into the wilderness that transforms with every season.
Korcula
Craving the easy island life? Korcula invites you to slow down and soak in those irresistible ocean views. Stretch out on secluded beaches, or cave into your curiosity with pine-scented trails that wind along the coast. After sunset, an evening of dinner, drinks and laughter at the Old Townâs candle-lit rooftop terraces ends the day in style.
