Croatia
Dubrovnik's Game of Thrones walls, Plitvice's waterfalls, Split's Diocletian Palace, and crystal Adriatic waters.
Overview
About this package
Eight days beyond Croatia's famous coast into the dramatic, still-uncrowded Balkans — the fjord-like Bay of Kotor ringed by mountains dropping straight into the Adriatic, the medieval old town of Kotor itself, and Montenegro's Ostrog Monastery carved into a sheer cliff face. For travellers who want Dalmatian coastline without the crowds of Dubrovnik. Add Budva's coastal citadel, the famous Sveti Stefan islet resort, and a drive through the Tara River Canyon, Europe's deepest gorge, and eight days go well beyond the usual coastal loop.
