DAY BY DAY ITINERARY
Day 1: DUBROVNIK
Arrival at Dubrovnik Airport and shared transfer to the hotel in Dubrovnik for overnight.
Day 2: DUBROVNIK
Enjoy breakfast at the hotel, followed by a day to discover one of Croatia’s southernmost towns on your own. Wander around Dubrovnik Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Medieval times still linger around the corners of its stone streets, while Baroque plays a symphony on its palace facades. From the Franciscan Monastery and Church of St Blaise to the Rector’s Palace, a stroll around Dubrovnik is filled with jaw-dropping sights. Don’t miss a round on the city walls for a fresh perspective and then top it all off with a ride on the cable car and the breathtaking panoramas from Mount Srđ. Overnight in Dubrovnik. (B)
Day 3: DUBROVNIK
A marvellous town like Dubrovnik can only be surrounded by an equally marvellous region. Tailor this day to your own liking, whether you are up for just relaxing or perhaps venturing out to explore the nearby islands. Locals would suggest the Island of Lokrum as an easy trip from the Old Town port. Promising a day of heavenly serenity, Lokrum envelops you in a 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 Elaphiti Islands pack sandy beaches, remarkable heritage, fun hiking trails and good food into a day excursion. Enjoy the overnight stay in Dubrovnik. (B)
Day 4: DUBROVNIK – KORČULA
Following breakfast, get ready to start travelling up the Croatian coast. With over 1,200 islands, the Croatia’s Adriatic is an adventure of fantastic imagery, stringed together by the mesmerising shades of blue sea, green pines and rugged rocks. As you make your way to the Island of Korčula, enjoy the sights of the Elaphiti Islands Archipelago and of lovely seaside villages and resorts lining the coast. The sixth largest island in Croatia, Korčula, stands out amidst its own archipelago, especially popular for fantastic winds which draw the attention of windsurfers and sailors from all around the world. Enjoy an overnight stay in Korčula. (B)
Day 5: KORČULA
The far south of Croatia holds many gems. You’ll know Korčula was at one time 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 to 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. Enjoy time exploring on your own. Overnight stay at a hotel in Korčula. (B)
Day 6: KORČULA – HVAR
Enjoy breakfast at your Korčula hotel, before continuing on to the Island of Hvar. Known for great diversity and lavender-hued landscapes, the island charms with the bustling squares and Venetian palaces of its glitzy Hvar Town, just like it does with the serene waterfront of Jelsa, the bridges of Vrboska and vineyards at Ivan Dolac. Hvar Island is also home to Stari Grad Plains, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and has some of the longest tradition of organised tourism in Croatia, so plan your leisure time well to get the most out of your day. Spend the night at a hotel in Hvar Town. (B)
Day 7: HVAR – SPLIT
After breakfast at the hotel, continue back to the mainland, to the city of Split. Croatia’s largest coastal city bustles and buzzes, as it grows more and more popular among travellers for its easy-going spirit, creative food and shopping scene and of course, remarkable heritage. Learn about the Diocletian Palace, once the Roman Emperor’s retirement estate and today a lively city centre housing 3,000 people. Overnight stay in Split. (B)
Day 8: SPLIT
Following breakfast at the hotel, shared transfer to Split Airport or another Split hotel. (B)
