Croatia & the Makarska Riviera

Further along the coast, Krka National Park features the Skradinski Buk Falls, a spot where the sound of water is as important as the view, and the chance to glimpse European otters if luck holds. Two days at the resort town of Brela allow for downtime alongside optional excursions to Dubrovnik and Split. On the way, a cruise to the Island of Brac includes a visit to Pucisca, noted for its stone masonry carved from the island’s distinctive white limestone.

The itinerary alternates between guided walks and leisure time, giving space to relax or explore. It closes in Split with a final dinner before a transfer to the airport for the return journey.
