Why you'll love this trip
  • Enjoy total tranquillity at the Hotel Istra on its own private island, and soak up incredible views of the Adriatic from your guesthouse on the unspoiled Lastovo Island – your two Feature Stays for this trip.
  • Delight in a truffle tasting in Motovun during an Exclusive Experience. Truffles are combined with local speciality dishes and a sommelier will pair your tasting with suitable Istrian wines to try.
  • Travel with experienced local leaders who will share local secrets, insider knowledge and historical information and follow a local guide through Diocletian's Palace in Split.
  • Immerse yourself in local culture during an Exclusive Experience as you head out with a fisherman from Lastovo Island, helping to bring in the daily catch and enjoying an on-board lunch of the freshest seafood imaginable.
  • Explore scenic Croatian towns with glittering harbors and ancient facades, including the resort town of Opatija and seaside Sibenik, where you'll explore the 15th century stone Cathedral of St. James, decorated with 71 sculpted faces.

Is this trip right for you?
  • Croatia’s coast is very hilly and mountainous, which means lots of steps are an inherent feature of the landscape. You will have to be able to easily lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and inclines. Also, stone streets become very slippery when wet, so good walking shoes are recommended.
  • Summer temperatures can be very high in many of the regions visited (over 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat, and drink plenty of water. Please carefully consider the time of the year you wish to travel and your suitability to that season.

This trip was incredible and we had the time of our life! Activities were fun, itinerary was well thought out and allowed us to have a great overall experience in Slovenia and Croatia. Also, our group leader was fun, caring, organized and went above and beyond our expectations! I would highly recommend this tour!

Cheryl · Traveled July 2022
I do not recommend this trip. The local company that Intrepid uses at this time is all about cutting costs, not about safety or comfort. The guide and transportation were nowhere near "Premium" level. Some accommodations where also a bit rundown to be considered Premium.
