6-Nights Croatia: Brac, Korcula & Mljet National Park

Country Walkers

Hike the undiscovered, intimate side of Croatia’s unspoiled Dalmatian Islands during an immersive, in-depth exploration.

Lounging beneath the pergola, you take another sip of homemade walnut liqueur and turn to thank your Croatian host. Today’s scrumptious lunch of pašticada—Dalmatia’s signature beef stew—has been delightfully satisfying, yet you want more. The same can be said of this morning’s walk through the grapevines and olive groves of Brac Island. Everything about this gorgeous stretch of Adriatic coast makes you want to dive in deeper: golden stone villages steeped in Greek, Roman, and Venetian history; pine-dotted limestone outcrops, sandy beaches, and translucent turquoise coves. Your island-hopping week ahead on this walking tour in Dalmatia promises more great walks and memorable meals. For the moment, you’re happy to just sit, sip, and soak it all in.

Dubrovnik Dubrovnik Classed as a world heritage treasure by UNESCO, Dubrovnik is a place of ancient streets lined with stone palaces, Venetian-style buildings and bell towers. The city is enclosed by stone walls, and the highlight is a leisurely walk atop these massive walls for a great view of the city and the sea. Entering Dubrovnik, you are greeted by an impressive pedestrian promenade, the Placa, which extends before you all the way to the clock tower at the other end of town. The Orlando Tower here is a favorite meeting place. Just inside the city walls near the Pile Gate is the Franciscan Monastery housing the third-oldest functioning pharmacy in Europe, operating since 1391. For a fantastic panorama of the city, take a cable car ride to the summit of the 1,340-foot Mount Srdj.	Destination Guide

Split Split Split, the largest Croatian city on the Adriatic coast, is the heart of Dalmatia. The old town is built around the harbor on the south side of a high peninsula sheltered from the open sea by many islands. Split achieved fame when the Roman emperor Diocletian (245-313), noted for his persecution of early Christians, had his retirement palace built here from 295 to 305. Since 1945 Split has grown into a major industrial city with large apartment-block housing areas. Much of old Split remains, however, and this combined with its exuberant nature makes it one of the most fascinating cities in Europe.	Destination Guide
