What's included
Itinerary
Arrive in Dubrovnik, one of the Mediterranean's most storied cities, where stone walls, terracotta rooftops and the endless blue of the Adriatic create a striking first impression. Your private transfer will bring you to your accommodation in the historic heart of the city. Take time to settle in and enjoy your first taste of Dubrovnik's atmosphere: limestone streets and waterfront restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialties.
Today, explore Dubrovnik's connection to the Star Wars universe through a private tour of its filming locations. Walk through the city's historic streets, admire its Venetian-inspired architecture and uncover how this medieval city was transformed into a futuristic casino destination. Beyond the screen, learn about local traditions including the story of the Croatian cravat before ending the day with sunset views over the Adriatic from Mount Srd.
Today the journey leaves Dubrovnik behind for the island of Korcula, combining unique experiences with the beauty of the Dalmatian coast. Enjoy an extraordinary visit to a Croatian underwater winery, where wine matures beneath the sea in carefully controlled conditions. From there, head to historic Ston, famous for its impressive medieval walls and rich culinary traditions, before arriving in Korčula.
Hvar is next, one of Croatia's most beautiful islands, known for its lavender fields, vineyards and coastal villages. This historic town is today's focus, with its Renaissance architecture and a farm-to-table experience featuring traditional island ingredients such as olive oil, figs and seasonal produce.
Hvar has another side beyond its glamorous coastline. Visit the traditional villages of Jelsa and Stari Grad, among Europe's oldest settlements, where centuries-old stone buildings and quiet waterfronts reveal the island's character. Enjoy local wine tasting and a traditional Dalmatian meal in a countryside konoba, celebrating the flavors of the region.
Brac is next, an island known for its striking landscapes, famous white stone and deep-rooted traditions. Skrip is the oldest settlement on the island. Learn about its archaeological heritage, then visit an olive oil museum to see centuries of cultivation. End the day with sunset views from Vidova Gora overlooking the Adriatic.
In Split, ancient history and modern Croatian life blend smoothly. Diocletian's Palace, a remarkable Roman monument, forms the heart of the city and holds hidden corners that created the atmosphere of Meereen. From there, head to Klis Fortress, perched above the coastline, before enjoying a traditional Croatian dining experience in a historic setting.
Today combines Croatia's natural beauty with its cultural heritage. Visit Krka National Park, where waterfalls, rivers and green landscapes create a peaceful escape. Continue to Sibenik, a medieval coastal town known for its impressive stone architecture and the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James, before returning to Split.
Enjoy a final morning in Split, taking in the atmosphere of the old city, the Adriatic views, and the memories of your journey through Croatia's cinematic landscapes. At the appropriate time, your private transfer will take you to the airport for your onward flight, concluding a journey that connected the magic of film with the beauty of Croatia.
