With its benign climate and scenery of rolling olive groves and vineyards, secluded valleys and a jagged coastline washed by cobalt-blue seas, Croatia is the perfect setting for a walking holiday that's worth it. Our carefully thought-out routes (described in easy-to-follow notes) allow plenty of time to appreciate your surroundings. And because there’s no group, no arrangements to make (we do all that), and no luggage, you can be spontaneous, stopping off in a charming village or lingering over lunch.
Walking in Croatia’s north-western corner, the heart-shaped Istrian Peninsula, is a revelation. In the course of just one week, you’ll discover lush green landscapes, enchanting hill-top villages, and an alluring coastline, as you cross the breadth of the peninsula to finish on the eastern seaboard.
To be sure that our walking holiday in Croatia is right for you, take a look at the definitions of our walking grades below. Remember that you don’t have to walk every day if you don’t want to – if you’d prefer to spend non-itinerant days relaxing, that’s entirely up to you. Alternatively, feel free to add in extra nights.
Grade 1
Generally easy walking with few ascents / descents, but perhaps the occasional long day.
Grade 1-2
Easy-to-moderate walking with some ascents / descents, and occasional longer days.
Grade 2
Moderate walking on varied terrain, with some long days and regular ascents / descents.
Grade 2-3
Moderate-to-challenging walking on more rugged terrain with significant ascents / descents on most days. Compass skills may be required (check the individual holiday).
Grade 3
Challenging hikes, featuring long days with significant ascent / descent on challenging terrain. Compass skills may be required.
Flexible
Choice of easier or harder routes, so that you can tailor most days to your requirements.
