Washed by the clean, clear waters of the Adriatic, Croatia has more than a little of the southern Mediterranean charm. Hillsides cloaked in forestry run right to the water’s edge and along a thousand miles of shore tiny islands are sprinkled in a sapphire sea.
In such a setting, relaxation is carried on the breeze, especially when your holidays are taken care of by a specialist tour operator.
We offer holidays at six resorts along Croatia's Mediterranean coast, around the Dubrovnik and Makarska Rivieras - and we know what makes each resort special, so we can help you select the perfect spot for your next holiday - give us a call on 0844 847 6000.
Holidays on the Dubrovnik Riviera
Holidays in Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik has been called the most perfectly preserved medieval city in the world, which has for centuries rivalled Venice as a major sea trading port. The huge city walls, built between the 11th and 17th centuries are still intact. The churches, monasteries, palaces, wide marble-paved squares, steep cobble-stepped streets and houses have remained unchanged for centuries.
But Dubrovnik is no museum; it is alive with the comings and goings of people whose homes line the narrow streets and sunlit squares enclosed by massive walls. Take a walk along the stone ramparts of the city for the best views, before venturing inside to experience many treasures.
Holidays in Cavtat
Cavtat is a delightful resort with a picturesque bay, harbour and palm-fringed promenade. It is a mix of ancient culture and modern hotels, gift shops, pavement cafés, bars and restaurants which come alive in the evening. The pebble beaches are clean, the sea is clear and warm and the Mediterranean climate encourages lush, green vegetation.
Walk around the old town to the bars and specialty restaurants or explore the meandering paths around the peninsula. Visit the local art gallery, the Baroque parish church and the octagonal, domed mausoleum built by the famous sculptor Mestrovic. In the evenings, explore the variety of local nightlife. Watersports are generally available from June to September and range from sailing and windsurfing to scuba diving.
Holidays in Mlini
The hamlet of Mlini, sheltered by high mountains, nestles amongst pine trees, cypresses, olive and orange groves and oleanders, basking in the warmth of the Mediterranean sun.
This charming fishing village, has a peaceful harbour and pleasant shoreline. The old stone houses add to the charm of the area.
The old city of Dubrovnik is a short 10km bus or boat ride journey. The Zupa Valley with its enchanting villages, farms and vineyards is a 15 minutes walk or short bus ride. There are lovely walks along the seashore to the neighbouring resort of Srebreno.
Holidays on the Makarska Riviera
Holidays in Makarska
Makarska is a delightful old town sitting in the middle of a pretty horseshoe-shaped bay against a spectacular backdrop of the impressive Biokovo Mountains. There is a wonderful palm-fringed promenade with a selection of fashionable cafés, bars and boutiques overlooking the pretty harbour where pleasure craft bob jauntily at their moorings.
The town is vibrant with a bustling and cosmopolitan atmosphere, particularly in July and August. Most hotels are located just outside the bay with their own curving pine-protected beaches. Makarska offers the best of both worlds, old and new, and is an ideal resort for those looking for a livelier holiday and a good choice of facilities.
Holidays in Tučepi
Famous for having the longest white pebble beach on the Makarska Riviera, Tučepi is a modern tourist resort at the foot of the magnificent Biokovo Mountain. With its luxurious hotels, rich heritage, abundant archaeological sites, local culinary specialties and wine, Tučepi proves a dream destination for a memorable holiday.
Entertainment is offered throughout the summer in the form of The Tučepi Summer Evenings beginning with St. Anthony's Festival starting on June 13. Tučepi is also a great base from which to explore the nearby islands and towns. The islands of Hvar, Brac, the towns of Split and Dubrovnik and the pilgrimage destination of Medugorje are all in easy reach.
Holidays in Podgora
Podgora is a picturesque fishing village, which is awash with spectacular scenery; the majestic mountains, vineyards, olive-groves and pastures fill the landscape and provide for a relaxing and peaceful break.
Podgora is an attractive sea-side resort from the early spring to the late autumn. Its location in a
sheltered bay results in the sea temperature slightly warmer than elsewhere in Croatia early in the year.
The nature park Biokovo offers a breathtaking backdrop for mountain biking, climbing, paragliding and hiking. Water sports such as scuba-diving, water-skiing, paragliding, windsurfing, rowing, water polo and swimming are also popular.
These prices are only examples of what we have on offer - call us on 0844 847 6000 to book or for more options.
