From the first human settlers of the Stone Age to the great Roman Empire, to the kings and queens of the medieval age, Croatia has persevered.

This whirlwind tour visits over a dozen major locations in Croatia where you will witness fairytale forests dotted with medieval castles, sparkling streams, and gushing waterfalls. You’ll take idyllic sails on crystal clear waters into forgotten coves and grottos and stop for tastings and conversations with locals in vineyards. Come to this bridge between past and present, where you’ll learn and experience the storied heritage and current culture of Croatia.

With its typical Mediterranean climate, the coast has hot, dry and sunny weather during the summer and relatively mild winters, sometimes wet. Continental Croatia is cold in the winter – October through April and it snows often. The coast is stunning in May/June and September which is shoulder season and the crowds are sparse. High season (July/August) has the best weather and where our program visits, you’re almost guaranteed a sunny and beautiful time.
