Croatia

If you are a first time visitor, get ready for ruggedly beautiful shorelines, and pretty Adriatic islands. Visit Plitvice Lakes and explore Zadar, an ancient Mediterranean port city. The old town, surrounded by walls and towers, is connected by a bridge to the new, urban part of the city. Spend time on the idyllic islands of Hvar. Visit the fjord of Kotor to see the tiny church of our Lady of the Rocks that is perched on a small island, and St. Tripun Cathedral.

Can’t come home without:

• When in Hvar - visit Stari Grad the oldest city in Croatia, established by the Antique Greeks
• Wine experience in Konavle - you will taste local wine, liqueurs, figs and snacks at local wine producer's family cellar. Traditional lunch will be served in the cellar
• A Klapa concert
