Croatia’s answer to laidback living is what the Dalmatians call “fjaka” – a state of utter contentment – that can be felt in the lapping of waves against more than a thousand islands. Crescent-shaped Croatia is a sailing paradise of unparalleled beauty, a kingdom of sapphire seas and hidden coves strewn across the Adriatic.

Hvar's balmy beaches beckon sun-worshippers, while Korčula reveals its Venetian heritage through ornate palaces and ancient churches lining the historic esplanades. At the heart of Croatia is Split, Dalmatia’s largest city, serving as the perfect launch pad for island-hopping adventures.

Back on land, take a stroll through Dubrovnik, the “Pearl of the Adriatic” and iconic Game of Thrones filming location. Walk the magnificent walls above the UNESCO-listed Old Town in this popular Mediterranean cruise port, where echoes of knights and merchants linger in every weathered stone.

  • "Croatia is home to 10 astounding UNESCO World Heritage sites. It’s hard to pick a favourite, but the serene Plitvice Lakes National Park will blow you away. With 16 terraced lakes connected by waterfalls that change colour throughout the day – from azure to emerald to grey depending on the mineral content and sunlight – you’ll want to have your camera ready."

    Megan Elliott
    Chaffey & Turner Travel Associates, Bay of Plenty
  • "Take a private, guided tour of Split's Diocletian's Palace, one of the most impressive remaining ancient Roman structures. You’ll get behind-the-scenes access to secret chambers, hidden cellars, and parts of the palace that aren't typically open to the public, allowing you to explore the history and architecture in a more intimate, unhurried way."
