View This TourDiscover Croatia
Come amble beside the blue waters of Croatia’s glimmering shoreline—the Dalmatian Coast —where limestone cliffs rise from the deep and a multitude of small offshore islands yearn to be explored. The country’s seductive blend of rich history and striking natural beauty must be experienced on foot.
The white stone walls of the medieval Fortress of Klis near the center of Split were erected by an ancient Illyrian tribe. The former garrison now presides over a bustling community of shops, cafes, and quiet beachfronts. Here you and your travel companion can rent a large, colorful umbrella or a pair of deck chairs and relax in the warm breezes that lift off the Adriatic Sea.
A hiking tour of Croatia gives you the opportunity to walk amidst a generations-old way of life founded on timeworn trades: fishing, stone cutting, farming and wine making. When you amble the well-trod trails of Brač, Hvar, and Korčula, it is possible to briefly depart the modern world entirely, as if the passage of time has forgotten these beautiful pastoral hamlets.

Country Highlights
- Explore remarkably preserved old townships, kissed by the Adriatic sun, from Dubrovnik to Split.
- Stroll amid some of the world’s oldest fishing villages, overlooking deep-azure waters.
- Swim in the warm, crystal-clear Adriatic Sea
- Sample the day’s latest catch, from fresh oysters to octopus salad.
- Savor Croatia’s famed wines, from the white Posip Cara to the red Plavac Mali.

Soar Above the Ancient City
There is no better way take in views of Dubrovnik than from atop its medieval walls. The easily accessible, two-hour pedestrian route offers the same breathtaking views of the city limits and Mediterranean Sea that travelers have gazed upon for centuries, connecting past and present the way only a walking tour of Croatia can.

Where the Locals Dine
Dine in the welcoming comfort of a family-owned Croatian konoba, one of numerous intimate local taverns that have feted generations of travelers. Relish in a warm bowl of maneštra, the region’s native corn and tomato stew, followed by an entree of janjetina—roasted lamb garnished with fresh local herbs.

Wander Among the Fragrant Fields
Explore the island of Brač, whose multitude of native aromatic plants offer a walking experience like no other. Saunter along age-old footpaths through olive and juniper orchards traced by fields of ružmarin and lavanda—wild rosemary and lavender.
