Explore the glorious Adriatic coast, from Venice to Dubrovnik
Your journey down the Adriatic coast begins in Venice and finishes in Lord Byron’s ‘pearl of the Adriatic’ – Dubrovnik. In between you’ll have time to visit the lakes and waterfalls in Plitvice National Park, renowned for their distinctive colours, relax on the remote and beautiful island of Lastovo and the historical island of Korcula, while the sublime surrounds of Lake Bled are, in their way, unrivalled.

Is this trip right for you?
-
Summer temperatures can be extreme in this region (over 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.
-
Please be aware that the Croatian coast is very hilly and mountainous, which means lots & lots of steps are an inherent feature of the landscape. You will have to be able to easily lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and inclines. Also, stone streets become very slippery when wet. Some people may find Croatia's topography very demanding.
