Upon your arrival you have a private transfer to your hotel in the city. Your guide meets you in the hotel lobby for a late afternoon walking tour of Split, one of the Adriatic’s most amazing seaports and Croatia’s second-largest city. The historical monuments, museums and galleries are found at the old harbour, and Diocletian’s Palace is one of the best-preserved Roman royal residences in the world.
Day 2: Trogir and Salona
Guided Day Trip
This morning you meet your guide for a walking tour of historical Trogir and Salona, with a private transfer. In Trogir, another UNESCO World Heritage Site, you visit the cathedral dating back to the 13th century, the duke’s palace and the town loggia. You continue to the ruins of ancient Salona, which used to be the capital of the region. Afternoon at leisure.
Day 3: Šibenik
Guided Day Trip
Your guide meets you at the hotel for a private transfer to Šibenik and a walking tour of this wonderful city, one of the most naturally protected harbors on the Adriatic coast, with ancient buildings along its streets. The Cathedral of Sveti Jakov (a UNESCO site), built in 1434, is one of the finest examples of the Renaissance era in Croatia. Return to Split in the evening and stay overnight at the hotel.
Day 4: Split to Hvar
Travel Day
This morning you check out of your hotel and travel to the island of Hvar aboard an 11:30 catamaran, arriving at 12:30. A private transfer takes you to your hotel in this beautiful Adriatic town, once a medieval settlement. The rest of the day is free at your own leisure.
Day 5: Hvar Wine Tour
Wine Tour
This morning you can discover the breathtaking views over the landscape and the yachting harbour. Later you leave the hotel for a wonderful wine tour of Hvar, followed by a private dinner in an olive grove, and then return to your hotel in Hvar.
Day 6: Hvar to Korčula
Travel Day
In the afternoon you transfer to the island of Korčula, with a ferry transfer that includes private assistance. You check into your hotel to explore the surroundings of this town: its culture, art and history, its traditional crafts of stone masonry and shipbuilding, sword dances and music, and its most famous inhabitant, Marco Polo, along with the island’s natural beauty, views and beaches. Dinner at the hotel restaurant.
Day 7: Korčula to Dubrovnik
Travel + Walking Tour
This morning your private driver takes you to Dubrovnik, passing the Pelješac peninsula with its splendid views, with a stop in Ston to see the walls and ancient salt pans. After arriving in the afternoon, you check in and meet your private guide for a walking tour of this UNESCO World Heritage city, known as the pearl of the Adriatic and among the 10 best-preserved medieval walled cities in the world. You enter the Old Town through Pile Gate and walk the Stradun, with the Dominican Monastery and its collection of Renaissance paintings, and the Rector’s Palace, seat of government of the independent Republic of Dubrovnik until 1808. You can overlook the sea from the city’s fortress and the Old Town from the city walls. Stay overnight at the hotel in Dubrovnik.
Day 8: Day Trip to Budva, Montenegro
