Mljet

With one-third of its land designated a national park, the island of Mljet is one of the most heavily forested isles in the Adriatic-and the perfect place to experience Croatia's rich shades of blue and green. This morning, go for a swim in the Great Lake, stretch your legs on a hike, or take a boat trip to the monastery on Sveta Marija Island. After lunch, experience all that the nearby island of Korcula has to offer, from wine tasting and cooking classes to a walking tour or hike. For those seeking a more heart-pounding experience, there is also the option for an off-road buggy excursion. Later, take in a Moreska sword dance performance, a celebrated Korcula tradition that dates to the 15th century.
Day 3 - Monday - Aug 25, 2025
Dubrovnik, Croatia

Wake up at the ancient walls of Dubrovnik's Old City-a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is considered one of the best-preserved medieval towns in the world.

Participate in a guided walk of the fortified walls, go oystering and enjoy a seafood lunch in the neighboring town of Ston, take part in an interactive cooking class in a quaint rural home, or learn about traditional silk embroidery at a local workshop.
Day 4 - Tuesday - Aug 26, 2025
Kotor, Montenegro
Kotor, Montenegro
Tucked into a bay in the shadow of craggy mountains lies the Montenegrin city of Kotor. Wrapped in medieval walls and dotted with Venetian palaces, churches, and red-tiled roofs, Kotor is widely considered one of the most beautiful ports in the Adriatic. Spend the afternoon wine tasting, learning about the production of olive oil, or hiking along the old city walls in search of the perfect photo op.
Day 5 - Wednesday - Aug 27, 2025
Komiza, Vis, Croatia, Croatia
Hvar, Croatia
One of the outermost Croatian islands, Vis was ruled successively by the ancient Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Austrians, and Italians. It became a central Yugoslav military base during World War II, and only opened to tourists in the 1990s, making it less developed and less populated than many of its neighbors. On arrival in Komiza, a beautiful coastal town that weaves history and natural wonders, embark on your choice of several optional experiences, including a hike to the headquarters of Yugoslav resistance leader Josip Broz Tito, where he hid troops and weapons in extensive underground tunnels at the end of World War II and into the Cold War. Venture to hillside barracks and hidden bunkers, or spend the morning enjoying the charming downtown. This afternoon, visit the vibrant town of Hvar-the region's most prosperous port at the height of Venetian rule. See the area as you wish: kayak through the Pakleni Islands, enjoy an island tour, or choose from several incredible hiking options.
