From medieval walled cities and forested national parks to sleepy islands and secluded coves, Croatia offers a wide range of places to visit, each influenced by its past Roman, Venetian, Napoleonic and Viennese rulers.
Our specialists will help you narrow down the best places to go, matched to your interests, whether you want to explore Diocletian’s Palace in Split, marvel at the Roman amphitheatre in Pula, laze on a quiet beach or hike between the Plitviče Lakes. You might tour the age-smoothed limestone streets of Dubrovnik, admiring its Baroque churches and shuttered townhouses, or stroll through laid-back Rovinj with its Venice-like bell tower and café-strewn squares.
And, with a coastline lapped by clear waters and littered with more than 1,000 islands, you can wind down your trip and enjoy a slower pace dining on fresh seafood with views over the Adriatic. On a tailor-made holiday to Croatia with Audley, you’ll see the scenic highlights — and much more — your way.
