Exploring Croatia

Remember to bring an identity card or a passport that is valid for at least 6 months from the time of entry into the country.

We ask you to report any allergies and/or food intolerances immediately after booking.

The itinerary may undergo some changes before and/or during the trip.

For this trip, a single supplement is available for booking, except on day 7, subject to availability. Please note that due to the small properties we use in Europe, there is only a limited number of single supplements available for the trip departure. Please speak with your booking agent for more information.

Keep in mind that the Croatian coast is very hilly and mountainous, which means that many steps are an intrinsic feature of the landscape. You will need to be able to easily lift your luggage and carry it up and down stairs and slopes. Moreover, the stone streets become very slippery when wet. Some people might find the topography of Croatia very challenging.

Summer temperatures can be extreme in many of the regions visited (over 40°C), which can be uncomfortable. It's important to use sunscreen, wear layers to combat the heat, and drink plenty of water. Additionally, keep in mind that July, August, and the first half of September are peak season along the Croatian coast, which means the local infrastructure is under pressure with many people in the cities we visit. Please carefully consider the time of year you wish to travel and your suitability for that season.

Hotels in Europe often do not have double beds, but rather two single beds that can be joined together.

Please note that on the islands of Korcula and Hvar we stay in private apartments rented out by locals during the summer months. These are located in various buildings around the town, but all are within a 15-minute walk from the main square. The apartments are not hotels, which means there is no front desk, room service, or daily housekeeping, no TVs or washing machines, but plenty of charm. They vary in layout and amenities, may differ in size, and most do not have air conditioning or wi-fi. This is the most effective way to stay in the city center. Also note that individual rooms are allocated based on the same gender, while the apartments themselves are mixed-gender, meaning you will share a two or three-bedroom apartment with other group members. We try to use apartments with rooms that include private facilities. On rare occasions, apartments may have only one bathroom to share among group members staying in the same apartment and in this case, if you have booked a single supplement, you will be assigned a single room, but will share the bathroom with the group.

On this trip, you should pack your bags as lightly as possible because you will have to carry your own luggage and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your bags (max 30 minutes), we strongly advise you to keep the weight under 15 kg / 33 lbs. Most travelers carry their luggage in a backpack, although a travel bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you're traveling light. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient, but we recommend that your bag has carrying straps to cope with cobblestone streets, uneven surfaces, stairs, and steps you might encounter while transporting your luggage. You will also need a daypack/bag to carry water and a camera, etc. for day trips.
