Croatia
Croatia is a country of a thousand islands, where the turquoise waters of the Adriatic meet fortified towns steeped in history. From Dubrovnik, the « pearl of the Adriatic », ringed by its medieval walls, to Split and Emperor Diocletian's palace, past the emerald waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park, every stop reveals a new treasure. You come for the spectacular scenery and UNESCO-listed heritage... but you return for lazy evenings on a terrace, lively markets, and the warm welcome of its people.
Whether you dream of swimming in a secluded cove on Korcula, strolling Dubrovnik's city walls at sunset, an island-hopping cruise, or a side trip into the neighboring Balkans, Croatia promises memories that last long after you're home.

Most travelers choose to combine both in a single trip, as offered by our Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik packages.
