With over 2,500 hours of sunshine each year, Croatia is already swoon-worthy — but that’s just the beginning. Add in unique culture, historic cities, mouthwatering cuisine, picturesque ports, and jaw-dropping nature, and you’ll never want to leave. Stroll through the crystal-clear waters and cascading falls of Plitvice Lakes National Park, savour freshly farmed oysters in Bistrina, and dive into centuries of history as you explore monuments and churches that whisper tales of the past. You’ll head home with a heart full of joy and enough memories to last a lifetime.

Zagreb: Arrive at any time. After a welcome briefing, set off with your CEO on a orientation walk to get your bearings of the area and to see some of the street graffiti art on the way to an optional group dinner.
Makarska: Enjoy a full free day to take advantage of the many optional activities available in and around Makarska. Perhaps take a ferry to the island of Bra? to explore on your own, take a tuk tuk tour, go zip-lining in the nearby town of Tucepi or just relax on the local beach.
Makarska/Dubrovnik: Set off from Makarska along the coast and make a stop at a small bay called Uvala Bistrina to lean all about the local oyster farming and to sample some fresh ones and with wine and lunch from local ingredients. Take some free time to wander the town of Ston and to walk along the massive and historic Ston City wall which rewards those who climb it incredible views of the town and the surrounding mountains. Continue driving in the afternoon to Croatia's capital city, Dubrovnik and spend the rest of the evening at leisure.
