Slovenia & Croatia
Dubrovnik & the Dalmatian Islands
Grade 1-2 journey • 8 nights • stay in Dubrovnik & two islands • walking notes provided • car hire included
The southern Dalmatian Coast is Croatia at its most beguiling. Dubrovnik is justly famed for its splendid medieval architecture. North-west of the city, we have found two equally captivating islands. The first, Korcula, combines pretty coves, sleepy villages and rolling hills to wonderful effect. But if Korcula is idyllic, then Mljet, with its forests and glistening lakes, is spellbinding in its beauty. Touring by car, you can take things at your own pace, walking or sightseeing as the mood takes you.
Available 1 May-26 July & 1 September-17 October 2008.
