Croatia

Explore the Adriatic stunning coastline

A country of stunning natural beauty and possibly Europe’s finest coastline! Rugged limestone mountains, crystal clear water and over a thousand islands await you on this tour. Croatia bears few signs of its turbulent history and has found a place on the boundary between Central Europe and the Mediterranean.

We will be hugging the wonderful coastline for most of this tour and visiting many of the natural beauties that make this country so appealing. September is an ideal month to visit as the seas is warm enough to swim in, the beaches are reasonably peaceful and the temperatures are not unbearably hot.

English is widely spoken and there is a very comfortable feeling whilst travelling throughout the country. We will meet up at a campsite in Monzambano, Italy, but please note there is an “optional package” which you can add to this tour if you would prefer to travel down with the Tour Director and stay at the same campsites
