Adriatic Experience

Itinerary

Days 1-2 Dubrovnik

A beautiful city of paved squares and terracotta roofs, Dubrovnik is aptly nicknamed the 'Pearl of the Adriatic'. Walk along the imposing stone walls for spectacular sea views.

Days 3-4 Korcula

Locals believe that Korcula is the birthplace of Marco Polo - check with the guesthouse hosts their stance on the matter. Visit an inland vineyard and sample the local wine, mixed, as the locals do, with water. Perhaps end the day with a feast of Dalmatian produce and be sure to leave room for dessert.

Days 5-7 Split

The site of Roman Emperor Diocletian's retirement palace, Split is the soul of Dalmatia. Follow a local guide through the ruins and hear the fascinating history of this city.

Day 8 Zadar

This coastal town is home to the St Donatus Church, whose rotunda houses some of the finest Dalmatian metalwork in existence.

Days 9-11 Rab Island

Relax on one of Rab's many unspoilt beaches or hike to the top of Kamenjak hill for panoramic views of the coastline. Alternatively, explore the thick Kalifront forest and experience the natural wonders of this rugged island.

Day 12 Rovinj

Climb to the top of St Euphemia hill to look down over Rovinj's melange of European architecture.

Days 13-14 Bled

Discover the gorgeous surrounds of Bled with its pristine lake and strikingly elevated medieval fortress. There is plenty of time to work up an appetite for an optional final group dinner - perhaps canoe on the lake, delve into the depths of a cave or cycle to nearby Vintgar Gorge.
