ZAGREB
4 nights
Zagreb is one of the oldest cities in Europe and can offer its visitors the Baroque atmosphere of the Upper Town, picturesque open-air markets, diverse shopping facilities, an abundant selection of crafts and a choice vernacular cuisine. Zagreb is a city of green parks and walks, with many places to visit in the beautiful surroundings.
In spite of the rapid development of the economy and transportation, it has retained its charm, and a relaxed feeling that makes it a genuinely human city.
OPATIJA
4 nights
Opatija (pronounced o-putt-eeya) was the fashionable seaside resort of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The grand residences of the late 19th Century, painted in fresh pastels, add to the elegance and charm of this town. The stunning coastline, clear waters and many parks containing tropical plants, makes Opatija a favourite destination for a holiday. The delightful 12 km coastal promenade is lined with bay trees, palms, figs and oaks, and 19th Century grand villas.
SPLIT
4 nights
Split is a seaport that emerged from a Roman settlement founded between the 3rd and 4th Century BC. The Roman emperor Diocletian built a palace in Split in the 4th century, which is the heart of the old town. It is one of the most imposing Roman ruins in existence and is home to 3,000 people as well as shops, cafes and restaurants.
UNESCO designates Split as a cultural treasure. Its palm lined ocean front promenade is reminiscent of the French Riviera, but the rest of the city reveals a striking combination of Roman, Venetian and Hapsburg influences.
HVAR
4 nights
This is an island of vineyards, olive groves, lavender and exuberant subtropical vegetation. It is an island paradise with more hours of sunshine than anywhere on the Adriatic. Our town (also called Hvar) is a medieval town that lies between protective pine-covered slopes and the azure Adriatic.
The Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Austrians and French have all occupied this area and have left their influences. A combination of Renaissance and Gothic palaces are hidden among narrow backstreets below the 13th Century city wall, and a long seaside promenade winds along the indented coastline.
In this traffic free town with a maze of streets we have a chance to truly unwind, relax and explore our island paradise.
DUBROVNIK
4 nights
Dubrovnik for some will be a highlight of the tour and understandably so. Dubrovnik is known as the Crown Jewel of the Mediterranean and is a walled city of beautiful architecture, set on a peninsula jutting into the Adriatic. It is simply one of the prettiest places in the world. The old town with its marble streets is almost completely untouched by the modern world.
It has a profusion of fine sculpture and architectural detail that underscores a common artistic heritage. Words cannot do justice to this dazzling place, which has left many a visitor spell bound, enchanted, and wanting to return.
