CROATIA - Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Coast

Click on the image to enlarge the map

The Dalmatian Coast is defined by the sapphire waters of the Adriatic Sea, and Croatia is where over the centuries the richest Mediterranean cultures have intersected and influenced each other. During the Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian Coast tour, you will explore Roman ruins in ancient, white marble cities, Greek temples strewn among the hills, Byzantine mosaics in shadowy, candle-lit churches and ornately carved Venetian palaces. You'll discover the quintessential Mediterranean landscapes of spellbinding red-roofed towns spilling to the sea, idyllic beaches and secret coves surrounded by the Earth's bluest sea and timeless islands rising out of the horizon. You'll appreciate the Dalmatian spirit which fills the air with the scent of lavender and cedar, with warmth and unhurried pace, sample great seafood and amazing wines, sail on an antique galleon boat, learn to weave silk from Dalmatian women and enjoy the spectacular show of nature among the impossible waterscape of blue-green lakes and waterfalls in Plitvice Lakes National Park.

HIGHLIGHTS: Blue-green lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice National Park ● Zagreb's history and the Habsburg architecture ● The island city of Trogir ● The Emperor Diocletian's Palace in Split ● The Island of Hvar enveloped in the scent of pines and lavender ● Dubrovnik's Old Town - the Jewel of the Adriatic Sea ● Tasting Ston oysters, considered a delicacy since the Roman times ● Peljesac Peninsula Champagne and Oyster Experience ● Mediterranean red tile roofed towns reaching out to the sea ● Cities built of white marble ● Roman palaces and Byzantine mosaics ● Secluded beaches and secret coves

Testimonials

Overall excellent. Great hotels and great restaurants. Never felt I was being “nickled and dimed” by S&S. I chose this tour partially because it was more vacation oriented rather than heavy duty sightseeing and my expectations were met! - Carole from Florida (Croatia 2023)

Everything on this tour was excellent. The hotels and meals were wonderful. Glad we were able to stay at the Dubrovnik hotel near the town entrance. It was amazing to discover how many women on our tour have gone on other Sights And Souls tours. It was great to hear their stories of the places they have been. I love sharing my trips with friends/family because I'm a true patron of S&S. This was my 7th trip. - Janice from Hawaii

I loved this trip. The group of women was great, and I was impressed with the diversity of Croatia. I loved Dubrovnik and the trip to Hvar island. Swimming in the Adriatic was pretty cool, too, and we had dolphins swimming besides the boat! - Karen from New Hampshire

I am just back from the Croatia trip and wanted to let you know how fabulous it was! We saw very interesting sights, had fun, enjoyed learning about the area, had boat rides, ate well, and met wonderful people. The weather was also perfect. - Anne from North Carolina

It was all a magnificent trip, and a beautiful country. Renata’s background and firsthand experience with the area and the wars that have plagued the country truly added to the richness of the experience. Absolutely the most beautiful country I’ve visited thus far! Really had a good time. Enjoyed everything about the trip. Thanks a bunch! - Patricia from Alberta

I’ve been on many tours, and this one was one of the absolute best – small size, beautiful hotels, great food, attention to detail, traveling with women – top notch! - Marcia from Tennessee

Fabulous time. I recommend this tour company to others whether you go alone or with friends. Perfect way to see a country and make new friends. Great location of tour hotels. And Renata was a perfect mix between Mary Poppins and Julie McCoy: always prepared, with a smile on her face. - Meg from Oregon

This was an amazing trip – fun and educational. I appreciate all the care and time that went into planning every detail of this wonderful trip. Renata was the best. The trip was so much more meaningful because of her willingness to share her experiences &her knowledge of the history /area. - Meg from Oregon

Wonderful experience, great companions on the tour. Restaurants and hotels were very good. I really enjoyed Croatia, and would love to return someday. This is my second tour with Sights and Soul, and I thoroughly enjoyed both tours. - Susan from Florida

Croatia is a beautiful country with excellent food + wine. This tour provides a mix of history + culture but the highlight for me was the two days visiting the islands near Split and Dubrovnik. The water + sun are a beautiful combination. Add in a group of adventurous ladies + Renata, a great tour guide – it was a perfect vacation! - Beverley from Alberta

Thank you so much for making my trip to Croatia such a wonderfully unforgettable and fun experience. Not only did you share the beauty and culture of the country with us, you shared its soul...and left me with some very special memories for a lifetime. How lucky we all were to have had you with us... - Sheila from Montana

Croatia was so much fun! I got to see and experience so much culture and history, and I still felt like I was on vacation. The sea was incredible. I liked all the women in our group, and now that we have this connection, I hope that we will remain friends. Thank you for making this trip possible for me. - Andrea from Maine

Traveling with Sights and Soul was like being with a group of good friends, where one of them was very knowledgeable and took good care of you. - Alice from Wisconsin
