Random Walks - Croatia

Overview

Spider Graph

Itinerary Description

See all the highlights of Croatia in just 1 week! This program begins in the picturesque city of Dubronvik, then you’ll transfer via ferry to the island of Hvar, where you’ll discover that NYC isn’t the only city that never sleeps. There are plenty of opportunities to enjoy water activities, including a boat cruise of Pakleni Islands while in Hvar and a ferry transfer to Split – with quick stops to swim as you weave through the coves and islands. The remainder of the program is held in Split, debatably the best location for nightlife in all of Croatia!
