Destinations Included In This Tour
Dubrovnik
Step into Dubrovnik’s walled Old Town, where limestone lanes and shining baroque facades open onto the breezy Stradun. Walk a stretch of the medieval city walls for sweeping views of terracotta rooftops and the sapphire Adriatic, then duck into hidden courtyards, markets, and seaside cafés. Highlights may include the Franciscan Monastery and its historic pharmacy, the elegant Rector’s Palace, and time to ride the cable car up Mount Srđ for panoramic photos. Cap it off with a golden‑hour stroll along the harbor or a glass of local wine as the lights glow over the fortresses.
Korčula & Hvar
Glide into storybook Korčula, a walled medieval gem laced with Venetian lanes and quiet squares, then hop across the glittering channel to sun‑kissed Hvar, where lavender-scented hills tumble toward chic cafés and a lively harbor. Stroll Korčula’s ramparts, sip Pošip or Grk at a family winery, then in Hvar climb to the hilltop fortress for sweeping island views before unwinding on pebbly beaches. Weather permitting, we’ll anchor for swim stops in turquoise coves—time for a refreshing dip or a lazy float—so you can savor the Adriatic at its most irresistible.
Split and Trogir
Trace Roman legacies and Adriatic charm as you explore Split and nearby Trogir. Wander Split’s lively Riva into Diocletian’s Palace, where ancient lanes, vibrant markets, and the atmospheric cellars set the scene for memorable photos—and optional Game of Thrones spots like the palace cellars and the hilltop Klis Fortress above the city. Then slip over to Trogir, a tiny UNESCO‑listed island town of honey‑stone streets, seaside cafés, and Venetian details, perfect for a golden‑hour stroll. Time permitting, add a quick stop in Kaštel Gomilica for more GoT‑famed scenery.
