Is this trip right for you?
- Don’t let the heat keep you from exploring the world! Summer temperatures can be very high in this region (over 40°C), which can make things uncomfortable. It’s important to use sun protection, wear layers to combat the heat, and drink plenty of water.
- Hotels in Europe often don't have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be pushed together.
- On Hvar Island, you’ll stay in private apartments that locals rent out during the summer months. These are in various buildings spread across town, but all are within a 15-minute walk of the main square. The apartments are not hotels, which means there's no reception, room service or daily cleaning service, no televisions or washing machines, but plenty of charm. They differ in layout and facilities, can vary in size, and most don't have air-conditioning or wi-fi. The individual rooms are allocated on a same-gender, twin-share basis. However, the apartments are allocated on a mixed-gender basis, so you’ll be sharing a two or three-room apartment with the other group members. We try to use apartments with rooms that include private facilities. On rare occasions, apartments may only have one bathroom to be shared between the group members staying in the same apartment. In this case, if you've booked a single supplement, you'll be allocated a single room, but you'll share the bathroom with the group.
- On this trip, you must pack as lightly as possible because you will be expected to carry your own bag. Although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we strongly recommend keeping the weight to 15 kg.
- Please be aware that the Croatian 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. Some people may find Croatia's topography very demanding.
