Itinerary

Day 1: Arrival to Split

Welcome to Croatia!  Transfer to hotel. Rest of the day free. Overnight.

Day 2: Split - Trogir

Breakfast. Full day Split and Trogir private sightseeing with local guide

Split represents the historical center and the well-preserved remains of Diocletian’s Palace (UNESCO World Heritage List since 1979), built between the late 3rd and early 4th centuries A.D. The cathedral was built in the Middle Ages, reusing materials from the ancient mausoleum. 12th and 13th century Romanesque churches, medieval fortifications, 15th - century Gothic palaces and other palaces in Renaissance and Baroque style make up the rest of the protected area.

After lunch break, visit to the city of Trogir - the town museum (UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997). Trogir is a remarkable example of urban continuity. The orthogonal street plan of this island settlement dates back to the Hellenistic period, and it was embellished by successive rulers with many fine public and domestic buildings and fortifications. Its beautiful Romanesque churches are complemented by the outstanding Renaissance and Baroque buildings from the Venetian period. Free time. Return to Split, dinner in hotel and overnight.

Day 3: Split – Mostar – Dubrovnik (Note: border crossing!)

After breakfast, transfer to Dubrovnik via Mostar.  While in Mostar - sightseeing with local guide:

The historic town of Mostar was developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge – Stari Most (UNESCO World Heritage List since 2005). The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and the Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

Continue the trip toward the city of Dubrovnik. Overnight.

Day 4: Dubrovnik

After breakfast follows Dubrovnik old town walking tour with local guide: This ancient city surrounded by ramparts and fortresses abounds in architectural and cultural masterpieces carefully preserved for centuries. A pleasant walk will take you to the Rector’s Palace, the Dominican Monastery housing a rich collection of medieval paintings, the Franciscan Monastery, and many other intriguing sites. Rest of the afternoon free. Overnight.

Day 5: Dubrovnik - Full day excursion to Kotor bay (optional)

Breakfast in hotel.  Free day.

 We recommend a full day excursion in the Montenegro jewel – the Kotor bay – one of the most scenic and picturesque places on the Adriatic Sea. It is also the biggest bay on the Adriatic. Because of its strategic importance in this historically turbulent region, it has been under rule by different nations. Each of them left a mark that can be seen today in a beautiful blend of architectural influences: Romans, Turks, Venetians, and Austrians... Return to Dubrovnik for overnight.

Day 6: Dubrovnik - departure

After breakfast, check out from your hotel. Transfer to airport for departure flight.
