Imagine a family road trip that intertwines stunning coastlines, ancient cities, and vibrant cultures. Croatia, a gem nestled along the Adriatic Sea, offers just that. Over the span of 9 nights, your family can explore lively cities like Dubrovnik and Split while indulging in breathtaking views and rich history. This itinerary promises not just stunning landscapes but also the joy of creating unforgettable family memories.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Explore the iconic city walls of Dubrovnik and absorb its historical charm.
  • Venture into the magical Plitvice Lakes National Park for stunning natural beauty.
  • Dive into Split’s vibrant atmosphere with its mix of history and modern leisure.
  • Discover the cultural treasures of Zagreb, from museums to lively street markets.

Travel Tips for Croatia

  • Consider getting a Dubrovnik Pass to save on entrance fees and access public transport.
  • Always have cash with you for entrance fees at national parks, as many do not accept cards.
  • Rent a car for flexible travel between cities and to reach hidden gems.
  • Don’t forget to sample local cuisine—try a seafood dish in Dubrovnik or a traditional peka in Split.

Conclusion

8.5 We liked : 1. Well organised trip with absolute no stress during Travel. 2. Time to Time pickup and drop, additionally drivers were pretty good and of welcoming nature. 3. Food and service were really tasty in both the Hotels. 4. All pre-visit information and requested modifications were delivered amazingly. Improvement : 1. hotel room details (backside room, no good view from window, and missing gallery) 2. Swimming pool not present in IBIS hotel. (Same missing view/gallery) 3. Better cruise experience expected, food was bland and no open-upper deck. (We saw a few cruises there with an open upper deck) Improvements are just suggestions and not complaints.
