Croatia: The Dalmatian Coast

Easy to Moderate Terrain: 4-6 Miles Daily

Croatia: The Dalmatian Coast

Along the golden archipelagos of the Adriatic, the Dalmatian Coast is a hidden wonder full of medieval cities, seaside olive groves, and glittering bays surrounded by hills of vibrant green. Island-hopping through this seaside paradise, you’ll discover Brač’s luminous white-stone walls and rosemary fields, Hvar’s legendary vineyards, and the wooded hills of Korčula. Savor an authentic plate of pašticada (Croatian braised beef) or grilled calamari at a family-run konoba (tavern), where the owners are always happy to chat over a glass of grappa. Take a break from memorable coastal walks to swim in the turquoise water of a secluded cove. Enjoy a different perspective on the coastline during transfers via ferry, catamaran, or private water taxi. In Dubrovnik, walk the ancient walls of a UNESCO World Heritage city and look out at the iconic orange rooftops of its Renaissance-era buildings. It’s a tantalizing region steeped in Greek, Roman, and Venetian history, and you experience its riches on this unforgettable adventure.


Tour Highlights:
  • Stroll through the well-preserved palace of Emperor Diocletian with a local historian, who takes you through its Temple of Jupiter and ancient mausoleum.
  • Trace a trail through Hvar’s UNESCO-preserved agricultural plain, an area of vineyards, olive groves, fig and almond trees, virtually unchanged since its inception 24 centuries ago!
  • Sample the area’s acclaimed, full-bodied red wine, plavac, while taking in coastline views.
  • Learn about legendary Marco Polo on a walking tour of Korcula’s charming old town with a local expert.
