Destinations
From medieval Croatian cities on the Adriatic to the Ottoman bazaars of Mostar, the alpine lakes of Slovenia and the fjord scenery of Montenegro's Bay of Kotor — every stop on our itineraries is there for a reason.
Zagreb
Croatia's capital surprises visitors who expect only a transit stop. The Gothic cathedral towers over the Kaptol district while the Upper Town preserves centuries of civic life in narrow lanes, baroque churches and the iconic tiled roof of St. Mark's. Below, the Lower Town unfolds in grand Austro-Hungarian boulevards and green squares.

Plitvice Lakes
Sixteen terraced lakes connected by cascading waterfalls, the colors shifting from emerald green to deep blue. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, explored on wooden boardwalks and by boat with a local expert.

Rovinj
One of the most romantic towns on the Adriatic. Colorful harbor-front facades, narrow cobblestone lanes climbing to the Church of St. Euphemia. A Venetian jewel surrounded by blue-green water.
Pula
Pula's Roman amphitheatre — the Arena — is one of the best-preserved in the world, rivaling the Colosseum. Built in the 1st century AD, it still hosts concerts. The city layers Roman temples, Venetian fortresses and Habsburg architecture.
Hilltop Towns
Inland Istria — rolling hills, truffle forests and medieval villages perched on hilltops. Motovun and Grožnjan are populated by artists and winemakers. The Motovun forest is Croatia's truffle capital.
Brijuni
A national park archipelago off the Istrian coast. Once Tito's private retreat, now a serene landscape of Mediterranean parkland, Roman ruins, dinosaur footprints and a small safari park — a short boat ride from Fažana.
Zadar
A UNESCO-listed coastal city where Roman ruins sit beside medieval churches and the Sea Organ plays music from the waves. As Hitchcock once said, Zadar's sunset is the most beautiful in the world.
Šibenik
The UNESCO Cathedral of St. James — the only Renaissance cathedral in Europe built entirely of stone. Steep stone alleys, fortresses overlooking the Adriatic, and nearby Krka Waterfalls.
Split
Diocletian's Palace — one of the best-preserved Roman monuments in the world, and 3,000 people still live inside its ancient walls. A living ruin filled with restaurants, galleries and street life.
Trogir
A UNESCO medieval island-town with Greek roots. Its 13th-century Cathedral of St. Lawrence contains one of the finest Romanesque portals in existence. Thirty minutes from Split — an entirely different world.
Hvar
Croatia's sunniest island. The Spanish Fortress, Benedictine nuns making lace from agave fibers, and the Stari Grad Plain — 2,400-year-old Greek agricultural land still farmed today.
Korčula
A walled medieval town on its own island, often called "Little Dubrovnik." Herringbone streets channel summer breezes and block winter winds. Legend claims it as the birthplace of Marco Polo.
Dubrovnik
The Pearl of the Adriatic. A UNESCO walled city where every corner reveals a legacy of diplomacy, trade and quiet sophistication. Our tours end here — most guests wish they could stay longer.
Pakleni Islands
Pine-forested islands and coves opposite Hvar town. Visible from the Spanish Fortress — the backdrop to one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Adriatic.
Blue Cave & Vis
The Blue Cave on Biševo glows electric azure in morning light. Vis island has some of Europe's most dramatic beaches, including clifftop Stiniva Cove.
Mostar
The Stari Most — a graceful 16th-century Ottoman arch above the emerald Neretva River. Wander the cobbled Ottoman Quarter past silversmiths, woodcarvers and weavers, visit historic mosques and sit with Turkish coffee overlooking the water.

Bay of Kotor
Steep limestone mountains descend into a deep-blue bay dotted with Venetian-influenced villages. Perast is a baroque gem where we board a boat to Our Lady of the Rock. Then Kotor — a UNESCO walled city tucked beneath towering cliffs.
