Overview

Embark on a ten-day journey through the beautiful country of Croatia with a local guide!

Beginning in Rovinj, coastal Istria's star attraction that brims with traditional charm, you'll journey to the UNESCO-listed Plitvice National Park to explore the incredible interconnected lakes.

This deeply historic city will enchant you with its stunning buildings and iconic UNESCO World Heritage site of Diocletian's Palace.

Next, you'll hop on a catamaran over to the sunshine island of Hvar, undoubtedly Croatia's top summer resort. Extravagant mega-yachts, 13th-century town walls, a hilltop medieval fortress and a Renaissance-era Cathedral will be highlights of your visit here.
