Jewels of the Adriatic 15 Days
Combine majestic landscapes with historic city streets on this unique itinerary
From the canals of Venice we enter Croatia and visit historic Pula home to magnificent Roman ruins. We then enter Slovenia, almost without peer in Europe for natural beauty, and base ourselves in her classy capital Ljubljana. A day of scenic delights follows as we explore beautiful Lake Bohinj and the sublime surrounds of Lake Bled. We experience Croatias Plitvice National Park using a network of wooden pathways then wander winding streets in the charming medieval walled city of Zadar. From Split, our trip takes on a slightly more adventurous flavour. We combine scenic boat trips with walking and cycling excursions to explore the pristine islands of the Dalmatian Coast. The charming pathways and parks of Dubrovnik provide a fitting conclusion to our magical adventure.
