Day 03: Ljubljana, Postojna cave, Opatija 

Today journey continues to beautiful sun-kissed county, Croatia. Croatia offers a great combination of diverse nature and extraordinary cultural heritage. Before crossing the border to Croatia, you will make a stop at world famous Postojna caves and discover the magic underground world.

Day 04: Istra tour (Motovun, Rovinj and Pula) 

Today you will be charmed by the Istria peninsula. First stop will be at the hilltop village of Motovun. Surrounded by solid walls from the 11th century, which have remained intact to these days, this charming village is perfect to stroll along its narrow streets. Visit small local shops for excellent truffles products. The tour will continue to Rovinj, once a traditional fishing port, today a popular tourist resort that stills conserves the old charm.

The last stop on the tour will be Pula, located on the southern point of Istrian Peninsula. Explore the significant Roman ruins through lively streets. The most notable is for sure the ancient Amphitheater followed by the Temple of Augustus, Triumphal Arch of Sergius and more. Return to Opatija for overnight.

Day 05: Opatija and Plitvice

After breakfast travel inland to Plitvice Lakes National Park. The park was established in 1949, which makes it the oldest in Croatia. It was listed under UNESCO protection in 1979. Its main attraction are the 16 lakes and the waterfalls created by travertine. The play of sun on the water surface in combination with the microorganisms and algae, gives the lakes their distinctive color that varies from blue to emerald to green and almost black in the colder months.  Overnight in Plitvice area. 

Day 06: Plitvice, Trogir and Split 

After having an easy morning, drive further south along the Adriatic coast.

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the blue Adriatic Sea dotted with small islands that attract so many visitors during the summer. And that is exactly where our next stop will be, on a small island of Trogir, whose importance was also recognized by UNESCO. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence,

Kamerlengo fortress and other medieval palaces is the significance of the town. After some free time, we will continue to Split. The second-largest city of Croatia became famous because of an ancient palace, built by Roman Emperor Diocletian. Diocletian’s Palace was meant to be his retirement home. The palace and its surroundings were later inhabited by the locals and despite the changes made through the centuries, it is still an integral part of the city and therefore still very much alive. Overnight in Split.
