Holiday information

 

A touring holiday in Croatia along the Adriatic

The stunning Dalmatian Coast is perfect for a self-guided, island-hopping adventure. With car hire and ferry journeys included, explore two beguiling yet wonderfully different islands – and enjoy delicious fish and seafood – before finishing in Dubrovnik, the ‘jewel of the Adriatic’.
The southern Dalmatian Coast is Croatia at its most beguiling. Dubrovnik is widely renowned as the ‘jewel of the Adriatic’, its name synonymous with marble squares, splendid Baroque architecture and terracotta rooftops encircled by ramparts. The coastline and its hundreds of islands are every bit as enchanting, and you have the chance to discover two of these on this holiday.

The first, Korčula, is perfectly idyllic, characterised by pretty coves, sleepy villages and rolling hills clad with olive groves and vines, while Mljet combines forests and glistening lakes to wonderful effect, and is spellbinding in its beauty and tranquillity. Touring by car, you can take things at your own pace, choosing sightseeing, gentle strolls, boat trips or dips in the sea as the mood takes you.

 

Itinerary

The key to Inntravel holidays is flexibility. You can start on the day of your choice, and are free to add extra nights.
  • Arrival in Korčula
    Night 1: at Hotel Korkyra (the first of three nights here).
    As your first night’s accommodation is on the day of travel, Day 1 is your first day of exploration.
  • Explore Korčula
    The island of Korčula is known for its beautiful interior of dense woodland, rolling vineyards and extensive olive groves, as well as for being the (hotly disputed) birthplace of Marco Polo. Spend your time here relaxing by the sea, seeking out quiet coves of crystal-clear water, and strolling through scented pinewoods, vineyards and silver-green olive groves. Exquisite, perfectly formed Korčula Town is another highlight, its intricate, leaf-shaped formation of close-knit streets and alleyways mirroring the fronds of the palm trees that rustle alongside its encircling, 15th-century walls.
    Enjoy lunch in a Harbourside restaurant
    Explore Korcula Town
  • Korčula to Mljet
    Leaving Korčula, you cross to the Pelješac Peninsula and drive through its famous vineyards for a second ferry journey over to Mljet, where your hotel for the next three nights, the Odisej in Pomena, is the only one on this tranquil, fragrant island. (Driving time: 2hrs, plus ferry crossing)
  • Explore Mljet
    Take your time exploring western Mljet: swim in translucent waters a few steps from your hotel; hire a bike to cycle around the nearby salt lakes; or take to forest trails which circumnavigate turquoise lakes and wind through pines to Polace, once a beatific base for marauding pirates before the Romans saw them off and claimed it for themselves. We also suggest a boat trip across a lake to reach a 12th-century Benedictine monastery and a waterside café where the views are hypnotic. Making use of your car, you can also venture further afield to discover more of what this beautiful island – Croatia’s Garden of Eden – has to offer.
    Forest trails on Mljet
    Take the boat to St Mary's Island
  • Mljet to Dubrovnik
    Crossing back to Pelješac, you have chance to pause in Ston to sample the seafood for which it is renowned and to marvel at its fortifications, the oldest in Europe. Your destination is fairy-tale Dubrovnik, where you spend your last two nights at either the Hotel Lapad or the Hotel More on the Lapad Peninsula just outside the historic, walled centre. (Driving time: 3hrs, plus ferry crossing)
  • Explore Dubrovnik
    Your final day exploring Dubrovnik is one you won’t forget: take in scintillating views from the ramparts (or from the top of Mount Srd); stroll along wide, marble Placa, lined with cafés, shops, churches and palaces; and pop over to the neighbouring island of Lokrum for an easy-going stroll along shady footpaths, followed by a swim. Dubrovnik, despite sobering reminders of more recent upheaval, remains the world’s most perfectly preserved medieval city and the undisputed jewel of the Adriatic.
    Explore the old town 
    Lunch by the port 
 

Accommodation

You stay in three well-located hotels. Star ratings are Croatian and may not correspond exactly to British star ratings.

In Dubrovnik, we work with more than one hotel, as shown below. Both are hand-picked by us and, unless there is a price implication (in which case we will contact you to discuss your options), we will tell you which one we have booked for you on your booking confirmation.

Wherever you stay in Dubrovnik, it is well worth booking an additional night to allow more time to explore the town, walk on the island of Lokrum or drive farther afield along the mainland coastline.

    In Trogir, rather than driving ourselves to the Krka National Park, we took a tour of the waterfalls which also included time in Sibenik and Primosten where we had a lovely swim.

  • The Orrwells, Hampshire
    12 September 2023

    Beautiful islands and a well put-together trip from Inntravel. Would recommend the National Park walks on Mljet, particularly the monastery and the viewing point Montecuk; a walk up to the fortress on Mount Hum in Vela Luka, Korcula, and a wander around the beautiful old town. Dubrovnik Old Town can get REALLY busy when the cruise ships are in the port in Lapad - avoid during the main part of the day (10am onwards) if you don't like crowds or large tour groups. Sea Kayaking and Snorkelling in Dubrovnik was a highlight, as was the ferry ride over to Lokrum island for the botanical garden, viewing point and stunning peacocks roaming the gardens.

    This was our first visit to Croatia and really enjoyed the holiday - the scenery is superb, the ferry crossings are fun and the accommodation and suggested walks are good. Dubrovnik is of course busy but it is certainly worth getting the ferry across to Lokrum. If you get the 24hr visitor pass, this also includes bus fares as well as the walk round the walls and some museums in Dubrovnik. The combination of island hopping, optional walks and stay in Dubrovnik was perfect for us.

    The highlight of the trip was Mljet. We were lucky enough to be there on a Saturday which was relatively quiet but even on the busier Friday it was possible to feel the peacefulness of the forest paths and spectacular lakes. It was great that they were within easy walking distance of the hotel. The Croatian scenery is unfailingly gorgeous but the nature of the place is crowded little villages full of tourists. So don't expect quiet little restaurants  - there is music everywhere all the time! Thanks to the quality of the hotels this disappears behind double glazing at night.

    Loved both islands, Korkula & Mljet, particularly the lakes in the National Park. From Vela Luka (Korkula) we walked around to Uvala Gradina bay which was just perfect, watching the boats come & go. We also ate at Siloka restauarant in the bay which we can highly recommend. Another highlight was the National Park on Mljet and the Lakes. Perfect swimming and great day using the ferry to get around (including the Monastery on the island).

    All three destinations were an excellent choice and all varied and different. 

    Despite a problem following instructions on the walk, the village of Prigradica was a particular delight.

    Mljet. Pomena was lovely. Particularly recommend restaurant Konoba Herc on the side jetty. Family run with limited menu but superb.

    Walking round, boating on and swimming in the Lakes was special.

    An excellent journey through Dubrovnik and the islands of Mljet and Korcula.  Inntravel provided us clear and detailed information. Fantastic suggestions for walks, which we used .Touring by car gaves us the opportunity to stop and take in the sights along the way. We particularly enjoyed pausing at Ston on the Peljasac peninsula between Mljet and Korcula. We explored Mljet on foot and also by electric bikes, perfect in the hot weather. The food throughout the holiday was excellent.
 

FAQs

If you have any questions relating to this or any other Inntravel holiday, our friendly travel experts will be happy to help. You might also find our General FAQs section helpful.
  • The information that we send to you 2-3 weeks before your holiday includes practical information about each stage of your journey so that you can travel confidently from one hotel to another, recommendations for places to visit and eat out in each place, plus cultural information about the area. Where applicable, we also provide notes for a self-guided walking tour of most cities, and some large towns. Sample travel pack >
  • We can book a wide range of routes from the UK with a variety of airlines. As well as being more convenient for you to book all elements of your holiday together, it also means that we’ll accept liability for your travel arrangements, so if things go wrong, such as the airline going bust, we’ll make suitable alternative arrangements for you. The fee for this service is £35 per person (£15 for children aged 2-11). More information on flights >
  • We can’t book flights that originate outside the UK, but if you wanted to book your own flights to London (or elsewhere in the UK), we can make all onward travel arrangements (including flights) from there. Alternatively, if you are booking your own flights to an airport in continental Europe that’s appropriate for your holiday, we can book onward rail travel and/or taxis. More information about how we can tailor holidays for customers outside the UK >
  • Once you’ve decided on your exact itinerary (our travel experts will be happy to offer advice), you need to provide us with your party’s details, either by phone or via our booking form. At this point we also ask you to pay a deposit so that we can secure a room for you immediately on confirming availability with the hotel(s). If it turns out that we can’t secure the accommodation for the holiday you’ve requested, or offer an acceptable alternative, we’ll refund your deposit promptly and in full. After booking your accommodation and other key elements, we'll then book your travel (or you can do so if you’re making your own arrangements) and send you a Booking Confirmation and Invoice.

  • Yes, it’s something we insist on, even for holidays in the UK. The vast majority of holidays go smoothly, but when things go wrong, it can be expensive to put them right. Buying a new pair of walking boots after your suitcase is stolen mightn’t seem so bad, but the bill for being airlifted down from a mountain with a broken leg or flown home while still recovering from an illness or accident can incur a five or six-figure bill.

    Many insurers offer travel insurance (you can find details on our insurance page of a policy that you may like to consider if you are a UK resident), but you do need to make sure that you’re covered for medical emergencies – including falling ill with Covid-19 while on holiday – and repatriation. We also recommend that you are covered for other eventualities, such as cancellation and loss of luggage and passports.

    When you purchase a policy, be sure to check that it covers the activities you'll be doing on holiday and that it is adequate for your own individual needs.
  • It is your responsibility to ensure you are in possession of the correct travel documents, with the correct validity. If you’re a UK citizen, you need a full British passport to travel to Croatia, but not a visa (please note, however, that a new travel authorisation system is being introduced). If you are a citizen of another country, you’ll need to check requirements with the national embassy or your own consulate.

    Current information regarding vaccinations and travel health advice for UK citizens can be found through the Travel Health Pro website. You must make sure you have adequate insurance cover for illness, accidents and repatriation (see the insurance question). You should also apply for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) if your EHIC has expired (if you have a still-valid EHIC, you can use this until it expires).
  • The official language is Croatian. The currency is the Euro. Croatian time is GMT/UTC + 1. It uses Daylight Saving Time, so in summer is on BST + 1.
  • For information on the practicalities of travel now that the UK is no longer part of the European Union, visit www.gov.uk/visit-eu-switzerland-norway-iceland-liechtenstein.
  • The UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) provides up-to-date, country-by-country travel advice, as well as information on security, local laws, passports and visas for UK citizens.
