This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you for any of the options listed above except those operated by Ryanair. We charge £35 per person for our flight booking service (£60 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

This varied trip was a great introduction to the Dalmatian islands of Croatia. Three comfortable hotels each located right by the water gave us ample opportunities to snorkel in the crystal clear Adriatic waters. We particularly enjoyed our reasonably priced boat trip from the quayside outside Hotel Korkyra in Vela Luka to Proizd Island. The island is stunning with peaceful walks through the Aleppo pines to beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters. Don't forget to take your snorkel! The quayside restaurant on the island serves delicious seafood much of which is cooked on the charcoal grills while you wait. Moving between hotels with the hire car was easy with practical parking available everywhere we went. The island of Mljet provided more snorkelling opportunities and a walk to the lakes in the national park where we took a boat trip to tiny St Mary's island with its monastery and hired bikes to cycle around the large lake. Apparently the lake is the location of the only green coral reef in the Adriatic, but we missed it! Nonetheless, a lovely day out. The Croatian people we met were all most helpful and welcoming and the cleanliness of sea and land is impressive. Well worth the trip!
Last year we did the northern Croatian coast holiday and this one continued it. As last year we loved the ferries - efficient and easy and with great views. The roads are good and mainly peaceful but looking for the little beaches south of Vela Luka led to some quite interesting driving.
We flew to Split and so had just a few miles to drive to Trogir, which gave us an easy start in a very beautiful town. We had 2 nights there and spent the time in the town, feeling the Park was too far for us in the time we had. From there the long ferry to Korcula was a relaxing pleasure. We were delighted to find that in all the places, except Dubrovnik, there was easy good sea swimming, and the island hotels provided towels. We had an extra night on both islands and were very pleased we had. They are both very rewarding and different from each other. Mljet was an absolute delight; the national park a few steps away a constant pleasure. Picnicking and swimming at St Mary's island was a highlight.
The food throughout was excellent and reasonably priced. If you book a day ahead it's worth looking at the specials on the menu. We twice did this and were able to have lamb under the bell at the Adriatica in Pomena, which was a welcome change from sea food by that stage. In Trogir we had good meals at Alka and Tre, and perfect light lunch at Pasiki. In Korcula we liked Bata best. In Pomena we ate well and cheaply at Ana, rather up-market but reasonably at Herc at the far end of the harbour, and twice at the Adriatica, which we particularly liked. We got the 11am ferry from Mljet and stopped in Ston for lunch at Baca under its mulberry tree, just across the road from the car park, and had delicious light lunch (and the more energetic walked on the walls) and arrived at the Hotel Lapad in good time.
In Dubrovnik we had two outstanding evening meals: Otto is justly a Rough Guide starred restaurant, and we found Orca a few yards from the hotel very special for our last night - eating on a flat roof well above the harbour. We had lunch at another Rough Guide star: Azur in a quiet street under the walls, which was peaceful and very different. The walls were less crowded than we had expected and there are several cafes on top of them where you can sit and enjoy a fresh orange juice and enjoy the view.
We were very glad we spread these holidays over 2 years rather than running them together, and that we added extra days both times. There was more than enough to keep us interested without any feeling of rushing on from place to place.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers enjoyed our Istria, Kvarner & Zadar self-guided journey in 2018; in 2019 they started their Dalmatian Islands & Dubrovnik journey with a stay in Trogir at the Hotel Trogir Palace.
The highlight for us was swimming in the salt water lake in Mljet national park, we are keen wild swimmers and this has to be one of the best swimming experiences that we have had.
