Safari za Baiskeli za Mwongozo

Iconic landmarks Our excursions are designed to show you both the world-famous sites every traveller should see, as well as a few secret spots that let you experience life as a local. While many of Croatia's landmarks might not be easy to list off for the less decerning travellers, we'll make sure you feel 'in-the-know'. We'll take you to some incredible man-made landmarks and a few natural spots sculpted over millennia Little ports and islands Of course, our expert explorers know that to truly get to know a culture, you can't just visit the major cities and well-known landmarks, you must seek out the unknown too. So, they've scoured the country to bring you the must-see places most tourists haven't heard about. Together with local guides, we'll visit the beautiful, whitewashed fishing villages that punctuate the coastline, and wander the streets of towns like Rab and Korčula, which have a distinctly Venetian feel - you might even stop in to ex-pirate towns with a colourful history, like Makarska, where you'll discover why the Croatian coastline was so popular with buccaneers. And you may also enjoy additional experiences, including e-bike tours, wine tastings and visits to museums (depending on your itinerary). Croatian cities We'll visit some fascinating cities that sit on the shores of the Adriatic, including Croatia's second city, Split, where history, natural beauty and modernity live side by side in almost perfect balance. Beyond the ancient allure of sights Diocletian's Palace (more on that later), Split is home to a vibrant café culture (coffee is a Croatian essential, they drink it well into the evening), bustling markets and a lively waterfront with bars and restaurants that make the most of their ocean views. And, of course, we'd be remiss not to add Dubrovnik to some of our itineraries. This historic city is known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic" thanks to its picturesque streets, baroque architecture and impressive Old Town, another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Followers of pop culture may recognise some of the structures from a recent favourite Game of Thrones but it's so much more than a nice change of scenery. The city exudes a laid-back Mediterranean atmosphere, and the locals are very friendly.
