A marvelous city like Dubrovnik can only be surrounded by a marvelous region. Tailor this day to your own liking,

whether you are up for just relaxing or perhaps venturing out to explore the islands nearby. Locals would suggest

Lokrum Island as an easy trip from the Old Town Harbor. Promising a day of heavenly serenity, Lokrum envelops youin thick green forests of holm oak, pine and laurel, to be shared with the island’s only permanent inhabitants: peacocks and bunnies. Just a tad bit further away, the Elaphite Archipelago packs sandy beaches, remarkable heritage, fun hiking trails and good food into a day excursion. Enjoy the overnight stay in the hotel.  

Following breakfast, get ready to start travelling up the Croatian coast. With over a 1000 islands, the Adriatic is an  

adventure of fantastic imagery stringed together by the mesmerizing shades of blue sea, green pines and rugged  

rocks. As you make your way to the island of Korčula, enjoy the sights of the Elaphiti Archipelago and of lovely

seaside villages and resorts lining the coast. The sixth largest island in Croatia, Kor ula, stands out amid its own

archipelago, especially popular for fantastic winds which draw the attention of windsurfers and sailors from all around the world. Enjoy an overnight stay in Korčula.  

The far south of Croatia holds many gems. You’ll know Kor ula was a Venetian stronghold as soon as you lay your 

eyes on the many lion statues which lurk at you from the town’s facades and gates, intertwined with some of the most  outstanding stonework you will get see anywhere on the Adriatic coast. Stroll the narrow, curved streets, marvel at beautiful churches and magnificent palaces in one of the best preserved medieval towns in the Mediterranean. Enjoy some time for exploring on your own and an overnight stay in a hotel.   

Enjoy a breakfast at your Korčula hotel before setting sail to the island of Hvar. Known for great diversity and lavender- hued landscapes, the island charms with the bustling squares and Venetian palaces of its glitzy Hvar town  just like it does with the serene waterfront of Jelsa, the bridges of Vrboska and vineyards at Ivan Dolac. Featuring more UNESCO heritage than any other island in the world, Hvar was also the home of organized tourism in Croatia, so plan your leisure time well to get the most of it! Spend the night in a hotel in Hvar.

After breakfast at the hotel, cruise back to the mainland, to Split. Dalmatia’s largest coastal town bustles and buzzes, as it grows more and more popular among travelers for its easy-going spirit, creative food and shopping scene and of course, remarkable heritage. Learn about the Diocletian’s Palace, once the Roman Emperor’s retirement estate and today a lively city center housing 3,000 people! Overnight stay in Split.  

After breakfast, enjoy a transfer to Split airport (or other hotel/accommodation in Split). End of program.
