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 shows very 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 the country so appealing. September is an ideal month to visit, when the sea is warm to swim in, the beaches are reasonably peaceful and the temperatures not unbearably hot.
English is widely spoken and there is a very comfortable feeling whilst travelling throughout the country
We will be visiting many of the Croatian Highlights, including Dubrovnik, Split, Trogir, Porec, Plitvice National Park & Zadar.
During our tour, we will also visit Mostar & Blagaj in Bosnia Herzegovina
