4-star hotel
Breakfast:
After breakfast morning departure to Split. The first visit of the day takes you to Croatia’s most popular natural gem,
the Plitvice Lakes. A guided walk along the wooden pathways unveils an amazing world of 16 cascading lakes
interlaced with over 90 stunning waterfalls, bound to mesmerize you in any season. Continuing the drive to Split, take
a break in Trogir, UNESCO listed World Heritage. A bundle of narrow atmospheric streets which twist and bend
between houses, palaces and churches, the heritage of Trogir is rooted in the greatness of Greek and Roman times
and showcases some of the finest architectural works in Croatia, including the incredibly intricate portal of its
Cathedral, the Town Loggia and the Cipiko palace. Arrive to Split and stay overnight in Split/Split area.
4-star hotel

Dalmatia’s largest coastal town bustles and buzzes, as it grows more and more popular among travelers for its easy-going spirit, creative food and shopping scene and of course, remarkable heritage. Learn about the Diocletian’s Palace, once the Roman Emperor’s retirement
estate and today a lively city center housing 3,000 people!
Finally, enjoy a ferry or catamaran ride from Split to the neighboring island of Hvar where you will spend the night at a hotel in the glitzy town of Hvar.
4-star hotel
Breakfast:
The island of Hvar is known for its purple lavender fields, a backdrop for oil production, potent red wines from steep
vineyards especially enjoying the island’s status as Croatia’s sunniest island, and the glitzy jet-set scene along the starlit waterfronts of the town of Hvar, so often featured in national and international summer media. Explore the island’s prime gem and its most trendy destination, the town Hvar, on your own. Home to the oldest theatre in Europe, also the home of organized tourism in Croatia, the heritage of Hvar extends far beyond the popular party scene! Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure and spend the night in a hotel in Hvar.
4-star hotel

time to fly. In the afternoon, bid farewell to Hvar and hop on a boat to take you to the neighboring island of Korčula.
Arrive in the evening and enjoy an overnight stay in Korčula.
4-star hotel
Breakfast:
The far south of Croatia holds many gems. You’ll know Korčula was a Venetian stronghold as soon as you lay your
eyes on the many lion statues which lurk at you from the town’s facades and gates, intertwined with some of the most
outstanding stonework you will get see anywhere on the Adriatic coast. Stroll the narrow, curved streets, marvel at
beautiful churches and magnificent palaces in one of the best preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean. Early
in the afternoon, you will be transferred to Dubrovnik, which once successfully rivaled the Venetian Republic. Arrival to
Dubrovnik and overnight stay in a hotel.
4-star hotel
Breakfast:
Enjoy a breakfast at the hotel and a lazy start of the day. In the late morning, embark on a guided walking tour of
Dubrovnik Old Town, a.k.a. the Pearl of the Adriatic or the King’s Landing. Whatever you might consider to be the
town’s main drawcard, the mighty city walls of Dubrovnik and its courteous spirit will swiftly transport you back in time to when this was an independent republic and a highly cultured Mediterranean town. After learning of its history and present, enjoy the afternoon exploring on your own. Stay overnight stay in your Dubrovnik hotel.
4-star hotel
Breakfast:
A marvelous city like Dubrovnik can only be surrounded by a marvelous region. Tailor this day to your own liking,
whether you are up for just relaxing or perhaps venturing out to explore the islands nearby. Locals would suggest
Lokrum Island as an easy trip from the Old Town Harbor. Promising a day of heavenly serenity, Lokrum envelops you
in thick green forests of holm oak, pine and laurel, to be shared with the island’s only permanent inhabitants: peacocks and bunnies. Just a tad bit further away, the Elaphite Archipelago packs sandy beaches, remarkable heritage, fun hiking trails and good food into a day excursion. Enjoy the overnight stay in the hotel.
