Top Highlights

  • City WallsThe walls take about two hours and are unbearable at midday in summer.
  • Bay of KotorThe fortress climb above Kotor is 1,350 steps up the cliff, and the bay from the top is the best view on the Adriatic.
  • Our Lady of the Rocks
  • Diocletian's PalaceDiocletian's palace is not a ruin — it is the middle of Split, with flats, bars and shops inside a Roman emperor's retirement complex.
  • Hvar townHvar has more hours of sunshine a year than anywhere else in Croatia, which the island will tell you about repeatedly.
  • Plitvice LakesSleeping at the gate means being inside at opening, which at Plitvice is the whole difference.
  • Upper LakesThe lakes are separated by travertine dams the water itself builds, and the whole system is still growing.
  • Lower Lakes

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Simple food, well made, and enough of it. No hesitation recommending them.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Recommended.
