Thinking of Croatia?

Let me introduce you to Croatia's must-see destinations...

The clearest sky, the refreshing scent of pine on a balmy breeze, secret coves and a breathtaking coastline. Where history unravels amongst the magnificent sandstone of ancient cities, and time stands still in sleepy medieval towns and villages. This is Croatia, one of the best-kept secrets in the Mediterranean – simply paradise.

Dubrovnik – the stunning old town is steeped in history and surrounded by its iconic ancient walls, baroque buildings and the shimmer of the Adriatic. Such a timeless backdrop makes wandering around, a sheer delight. Dubrovnik became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

Krka Valley - an impressive sequence of lakes call this home, where water cascades from one to the next via vertiginous interlocking waterfalls. With reflections of the majestic surrounding peaks and luxuriant forests rippling on the water surface, it's impossible not to be awestruck.

Split - Croatia's second city is renowned for Emperor Diocletian's palace which dominates Split's old town. Beyond ancient architecture, discover world-class museums and gastronomy.

Hvar - the city of Hvar is a unique fusion of luxurious Mediterranean nature, rich cultural and historical heritage, superb fresh locally produced food and many outdoor activities.

And if you’re still undecided on where to go in Croatia, why not see them all on an escorted tour by land or sea - will you agree with Lord Byron who called Coatia "the pearl of the Adriatic" or George Bernard Shaw who said "those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik"?
