Tour overview

This 8-day journey follows the Dalmatian coast from Split to Dubrovnik, with three nights on the island of Korcula. A tour leader travels with the group, which numbers no more than twelve, by private vehicle and ferry. You stay seven nights in upscale hotels, including a heritage hotel in Split, with breakfast on most days and several special meals.

In Split you explore Diocletian's Palace with a heritage guide after a welcome dinner. A ferry takes you to Korcula, where you tour the walled old town, lunch and taste wine at a local winery, join a mosaic workshop in Vela Luka and have a free day for beaches.
