5 Days in Croatia - 5 Unique Itinerary Ideas
Five days makes a quick trip to Croatia, but it's enough time to focus on a single region like coastal Dalmatia or Istria in the north. You can cover country-wide highlights if you don't mind a fast pace and flying open-jaw—thanks to the frequency of international flights to both Zagreb and Dubrovnik, you can start your trip in the north and work your way to the southern coast.

Lincoln's and Frančeska's trip "back home" to Bosnia and Croatia, where we started 56 years ago. As as traveled from Zagreb to Banja Luka, from Plicvice to Zadar, along the Adriatic Coast towns of Šibenik, Trogir, Split and Klis fortress and were treated to a sumptuous homemade meal of Croatian dishes and delicacies, each day brought new magic and surprises. The most wonderful of which was all about the warmth and welcoming and helpfulness of the people we met. We were truly blessed by the guides that our Antonia and Sara provided an each new venue. Our driver, Duje, became to us much more than an able and reliable guide, but a friend. At Split-Klis, Vanna shepherded us on an all-day historical and culinary experience. We fell in love with A

On our trip to Croatia and Slovenia, it was as if Ivan and Sarah could read our minds. From every excursion to every driver, we were so delighted by the experience as much as the staff. You can tell a lot about people, by the people and vendors they choose to work with and based on this trip, I can tell that they are... Read more
