Classic Croatia

Enjoy included airport lounge access before your flight to Dubrovnik. On arrival you'll transfer from the airport to your accommodation. The following morning enjoy a private walking tour of Dubrovnik, discovering the pretty lanes and winding streets of this picturesque medieval town. After lunch you will have some free time to further explore at your own pace. You'll then have one further day to enjoy Dubrovnik and the surrounding region, perhaps taking a day trip to Mostar or hopping across the border into neighbouring Montenegro. A boat trip to the islands near Dubrovnik makes for a wonderfully relaxing alternative. Ask your consultant for suggestions as tours can vary depending on the day and season of travel.

One of UK's most famous travel writers, Paul Mansfield, wrote "Korcula is deep and beautiful; one can imagine spies and lovers sharing secrets here. The place is utterly intoxicating". And, after a shared transfer to the town of Orebic and then a ferry ride across glittering seas, you'll explore its beauty for yourself. The ferry departs seven days a week, 12 times a day, and offers some excellent views of the island as you travel along its coast. Then, with a full day to explore, you'll head out to discover pretty villages, rolling vineyards and olive groves framed by secluded coves and sandy bays.

Today, a transfer and ferry ride brings you from Korcula to Hvar. Check into your hotel before exploring the island's fortified old town and  – a place awash with trendy restaurants and legendary beach bars – before ducking inland to discover an idyllic interior of sweeping lavender fields and sprawling vineyards framed by cragged peaks. What's more, favourable weather is almost guaranteed, with Hvar enjoying around 2,720 sunny hours each year. 

Stay: Hotel Adriana, Hvar (Superior)

Take a transfer and ferry from Hvar to the mainland to spend two days exploring the UNESCO World Heritage towns of Split and Trogir. Trogir is a beautiful harbour town boasting a wealth of palaces, churches and squares and is well worth at least half a day before returning to Split itself, where the Diocletian Palace, the Cathedral of St Domnius and the wonderful Split City Museum are among a host of attractions.
