A Croatian Adventure
12 Day By Coach - 7% Discount

Tour Highlights
Istrian Riviera, Rovinj, Postojna Caves,

Rovinj

Croatia has established itself as a beautiful alternative to the Mediterranean islands, where crystal waters and radiant sunshine offer warm and tranquil days amid a welcoming culture that sees tourist numbers grow year on year. The Istrian Riviera, by the shores of the Adriatic, and sheltered by the mountains of neighbouring Italy and Austria, has many attractions from the Roman history of Pula to the inland marvels of the Postojna Caves.
