Zagreb, Split & Dubrovnik 8 days

After you arrive at the Zagreb Airport, a car will be waiting to transfer you to the hotel.

The rest of the day you will relax and enjoy the capital of Croatia, a wonderful medieval city with beautiful streets, monumental buildings, and a gastronomy that will not disappoint you.

Greca Tip: The börek is a crispy, soft, and fine puff pastry that is filled with minced meat, vegetables, cheese, and onion. You will find it in many street stalls.

At 08:30 am, we will meet at the designated meeting point at Zrinjevac 2, 10000, Zagreb, to begin an unforgettable excursion to Plitvice Lakes National Park, one of Croatia's most spectacular natural treasures and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Our first stop will be the charming village of Rastoke, a picturesque destination renowned for its cascading waterfalls, historic watermills, and traditional houses built on small islets. We will have time to stroll through this beautiful setting and admire the perfect harmony between nature and local architecture.

We will then continue to Plitvice Lakes National Park, where we will enjoy a guided tour through one of Europe's most breathtaking natural landscapes. We will walk along wooden pathways winding through crystal-clear lakes, lush forests, and a series of spectacular waterfalls connecting the park's sixteen lakes. Throughout the visit, we will discover the extraordinary biodiversity that has made this park one of the continent's most celebrated natural attractions.

After this unforgettable experience, we will begin our journey back to Zagreb, taking in the beautiful scenery of the Croatian countryside along the way. Upon arrival in the city, we will have the rest of the afternoon free to continue exploring at our own pace or return to our accommodation to relax.

Greca Tip: Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a camera with plenty of storage space. Plitvice Lakes offers some of the most photogenic natural landscapes in all of Croatia.

After enjoying our breakfast, at the agreed time we will make our own way to the station to begin our journey to Split, either by train or bus depending on availability. Over approximately six hours, we will travel through Croatia’s picturesque landscapes, where rolling green hills, charming villages, and scenic countryside views accompany us along the way.

Upon arrival in the charming coastal city of Split, we will continue on our own to the hotel to check in and begin discovering this fascinating destination. Located along the Dalmatian Coast, Split perfectly blends its rich historical heritage with a vibrant modern atmosphere. Its greatest treasure is the impressive Diocletian’s Palace, a magnificent 4th-century structure built by the Roman emperor, which today forms the living heart of the city.

Within its white stone walls, more than 200 historic buildings are seamlessly integrated into everyday life. As we wander through its narrow streets, we will find an ancient cathedral, as well as shops, cafés, and hidden corners full of history that invite us to explore at a relaxed pace.

We will stay at our hotel in Split, where we can unwind and prepare for the experiences ahead.

Greca Tip: Don’t miss trying “pašticada,” a traditional Dalmatian slow-cooked beef stew served with gnocchi—one of Split’s most authentic and flavorful dishes.

After a delicious breakfast, you will have free time to visit the city.

Split, a city on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, is famous for its beaches and for the fortress-like complex at its center, Diocletian's Palace, erected by the Roman emperor in the 4th century.

The ruins spread across the city include more than 200 buildings, once numbered in the thousands. Inside the white stone walls, and under its courtyards, there is a cathedral and a variety of shops, cafes, bars, hotels, and houses.

Greca Tip: You should not miss visiting the main market of the city, where you will find an explosion of colors, smells, and flavors of Dalmatia and the Mediterranean.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at our hotel, we will begin the morning with a pleasant transfer to Trogir, a medieval gem declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its narrow stone streets, infused with the Adriatic breeze, welcome you with an atmosphere that feels frozen in time.

During your free time, you may explore at your own pace the splendid Cathedral of St. Lawrence, admire the Cipiko Palace, visit the Kamerlengo Fortress, or simply wander through charming alleys where local artisans keep centuries-old traditions alive. You can also stroll along the waterfront promenade and relax in a café overlooking the harbor—an ideal spot to absorb the Dalmatian spirit.

In the afternoon, we will return to Split, accompanied by the scenic coastal landscape.

Greca Tip: In Trogir, be sure to try rozata, a traditional Croatian dessert similar to a flan and flavored with local liqueur—a delightful way to end a day filled with history and sea.

After enjoying a delicious breakfast at our hotel, you will make your way on your own to the designated meeting point to take your transport to Dubrovnik, the famous Pearl of the Adriatic. The journey will allow you to anticipate the magic that awaits in this walled city, celebrated for its history, colors, and natural harmony.

Upon arrival, make your way to the hotel. The rest of the day is free for you to begin exploring at your own pace. Dubrovnik unveils a unique charm: warm, radiant weather, vast blue skies, and a sea that shifts from emerald to deep blue as it touches hidden coves, golden beaches, and cliffs seemingly sculpted by the wind. Its lush Mediterranean vegetation completes a landscape that many consider unmatched.

In the afternoon, you may stroll through its winding stone streets, feel the energy of the Old Town, or simply let yourself be carried away by the serenity of this Adriatic wonder.

At the end of the day, return to the hotel to rest and enjoy the hotel comfort.

Greca Tip: In Dubrovnik, a curious legend circulates: it is said that the street drains hide a romantic destiny. Single women who step on them… might remain single forever! Could it be true?

After a peaceful and fabulous breakfast, you will have the day free to enjoy "The Pearl of the Adriatic."

Dubrovnik is a walled city dating back to the 7th century, full of contrasts and fusion that continues to enchant its visitors. Strolling within the walled area, we will reminisce about hundreds of years of history. Its walls and towers are considered the main attraction of the city, and from there we can capture breathtaking panoramic photos.

You shouldn't miss a visit to the Church of St. Blaise (1715), located in the heart of the city, the Stradun Street, the main artery of the city, where we will find bars and shops, and also the Franciscan Monastery and its church (14th century), home to the oldest pharmacy in the world.

To further explore the city's history, we recommend visiting the Sponza Palace, which dates back to the 16th century. We can also take a funicular ride to Mount Srđ to enjoy the views and have a good cup of coffee.

Greca Tip: Explore the city walls of Dubrovnik for breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the old town.

After breakfast, you will be transferred to Dubrovnik International Airport to board your next flight.

After spending some fantastic days with Greca, we hope to see you again to enjoy some wonderful moments that will remain forever in your memory.

Bon voyage! Or, as locals say: “Dobro putovanje!”.

Greca Tip: Don't forget to bring a souvenir in the form of the traditional rakija, a fruity liqueur whose most famous variant includes honey.
