About the trip

This Riviera Travel escorted tour offers eleven nights through Northern Croatia and neighbouring Bosnia and Herzegovina. It sets out from Split, taking in the historic towns along the Kvarner coast, including a six-night stay in Crikvenica. Highlights include Rijeka, where the National Theatre and the Leaning Tower reflect the city’s mixed Austro-Hungarian and Italian heritage, and Opatija, known for its long seafront promenade and parks.

Further excursions take you to Krk Island with its ancient cathedral and a wine tasting of Žlahtina in Vrbnik, and to the Island of Rab, famed for its old town crowned by four bell towers as well as the centuries-old Rab Torta pastry. The tour also ventures inland to Plitviče Lakes National Park, with its turquoise lakes connected by nearly 90 waterfalls—a particular favourite being the Great Waterfall. The journey crosses into Bosnia and Herzegovina, visiting Mostar to see the Stari Most bridge and sample local cuisine. Along the Adriatic coast, day trips include visits to the Venetian-influenced town of Rovinj and the Dalmatian islands of Hvar and Brač, featuring Zlatni Rat beach. The tour rounds off in Tučepi for a leisurely day by the sea.
