Croatian cuisine is incredibly delicious with the chance to taste premium meats such as duck and goose and many delicious pastries.

Plitvice Lakes National Park - Arguably one of the most photogenic and picturesque natural rivers and lakes in the world. Created by a chain of 16 lakes that have a terrace effect into each other, visitors can wander through the national park crossing bridges and wooden decks. Walkways and hiking trails connect most of the park and a ferry takes visitors between the upper and lower lakes. If you are looking for one of the most beautiful natural formations in Europe, look no further than Plitvice National Park!

Split - overlooking the Adriatic Sea, It is mostly popular for its sandy and clean beaches and music and art festivals that occur each year. Thousands of travellers flock to Split to relax, swim, and enjoy Croatian cuisine. Within the white stone walls of the city, hundreds of bars, cafes, and clubs allow tourists and locals alike to truly enjoy living life!

Finish in Dubrovnik - The Pearl of the Adriatic Sea. It is hard to find a more picturesque town than Dubrovnik. As the old town is encircled with giant stone walls, it has an incredibly medieval feel to it. Hike up and overlook the city from the top or spend the day on Banje beach swimming in the Adriatic Sea. Take a trip out to the island of Lokrum where you can explore the fortress, gardens, and monastery!
