9 days
Split, Dubrovnik, Plitvice, Zagreb with extension to Venice

The turmoil of the mid-90s has turned Croatia’s beauty into something of a secret.

Today, you can feel the love that consumed Diocletian wash over you in Split, where the Roman emperor’s former palace remains the best place to watch the Adriatic churn. The sea’s same electric blues find harmony with the sun-washed stone of Dubrovnik, a city still scarred from its fight for independence.
