You’ve got to love the Romans – they didn’t do things by halves. Just look at the imposing ruins of Diocletian’s Palace, built as a military garrison and personal retirement home in the 4th century AD. The emperor's own modest quarters now comprise much of the city centre of Split, and a visit here is an absolute must of Croatia travel.
You'll need a whole day to fully explore the network of cascading lakes, caves and waterfalls that make up Croatia's oldest and most stunning natural park. Set deep within dense forest populated by bears and wolves, an 11-mile network of wooden pathways guide you through the fascinating limestone karst landscape, with free boat rides available for those who'd rather cruise.
A simple scenic stroll is one of the very best ways to experience Dubrovnik, a famed filming location for Game of Thrones. Full of winding marbled streets and Baroque buildings, this ancient fortified city is almost unbelievably picturesque. Take in the views from the city walls, or ride the cable car to Mt Srđ for the full Instagram vista.
Croatia is a land of beautiful islands, and an island hopping tour is the best way of exploring them. Cruise the crystalline blue waters of the Adriatic, stopping to sip cocktails in glitzy Hvar island; wander the ancient streets of Korčula's old town or simply take in the view from one of the many picture perfect deserted beaches. And there are plenty to choose from.
Located on the shores of the Istrian peninsula in northwest Croatia, Rovinj is yet another strong Croatian contender for the title of 'world's most beautiful town'. Built on a small egg-shaped peninsula, a maze of streets wind their way gently up the hill to the Church of St Euphemia, the town's striking centrepiece. Istria's proximity to Italy has had a strong effect on its cuisine, meaning the local tucker is up there with the country's best.
Sun worshippers, culture vultures and foodies are especially going to love Croatia. We've put together a top 5 to get you going.
You’ll immerse yourself properly into every place you visit. Whether it’s Berlin’s illuminating history or the quaint villages of Santorini, you’ll explore with a local guide who knows their stuff and loves what they do. You’ll expand your horizons and see new ways of living with unique experiences, like learning to be a Gondolieri in Venice or dining in a restaurant that supports refugees in Austria. But Contiki is about more than the destination. It’s about the people, AKA your Contiki crew. Who you’ll build amazing connections with from the very first coach ride, and maybe even become BFFs for life.
