2025 CROATIA COASTLINE SPRING TOUR?
It's just under 7 weeks to our 17-day tour, with 12 days in Croatia, travelling along almost the entire coastline from P**a in the northwest to Dubrovnik, in the south.
Our tour starts with an afternoon ferry crossing from Dover to Calais then, over the next 4 days we drive through France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Italy, to Lake Garda where our hotel is located.
The following day, our 1st day in Croatia, we drive east, from Lake Garda via Triste and Slovenia, to the Croatian border where our tour of Croatia starts.
Our first day is spent in Istria, a triangular peninsula, and indeed our first two nights are spent in Porec on the Istrian coast.
On the morning of our second day in Croatia, we explore local hilltop villages on the Istrian Peninsula.
The next day we drive via P**a on the coast, well known for its magnificent Roman monuments. We then continue anti-clockwise around the Istrian coastline via Rijeka to the island of Krk, the largest of the Adriatic islands, where our next hotel is based.
The following day, we enter Dalmatia, the most visited region of Croatia, and travel down the coastline visiting Zadar to Trogir, a small island and one of the jewels of the Dalmatian coast.
The following day, we visit the Krka National Park near Sibenik and take a boat ride from Skradin to visit the magnificent lakes and waterfalls.
We then continue down the coastline to the island of Hvar, where we stay for 2 nights in a charming harbour town.
We then leave the island of Hvar and drive down the coast and across the bridge onto the Peljesac peninsula, famous for its oyster farms and vineyards, to Orebic where our hotel is located near the ferry port to Korcula.
The following day we take the car ferry to the nearby island of Korcula and drive around this pretty island before returning to Orebic.
We then leave the peninsula and drive down the coast to Dubrovnik, "the jewel in the Adriatic crown" where we spend the next three nights. The following day we explore Dubrovnik on foot.
