Service Description

This isn't your typical European backpacking tour-- our Croatian trips will take you around parts of the continent far too often ignored by travelers. On this 7-day excursion you'll discover incredible hidden gems like the Lakes of Plitvice; wander cobblestone streets in ancient, storied cities; island hop through the Adriatic Sea; explore roman ruins and beach towns; and maybe even make a few new friends at an exclusive secret nightclub in old town Zagreb. One thing's for certain: this is one European vacation you won't soon forget. Croatia is a small country filled with unique landscapes-- from fields to mountains, to the stunning coastline dotted with a thousand islands, to jungles, waterfalls, and even a desert-- at each stop along the way you'll feel as if you've arrived in a brand new destination. "Bang for your buck" doesn't get much more literal than this. In addition to unique landscapes, you'll find some quirky "off-the-beaten-path" attractions here, too. Like the Museum of Broken Relationships, for example. Or the Croatian Museum of Naive Art, featuring a style of painting known for it's simplistic style and bold, vivid colors; a definite must-see for art history lovers. You can visit palaces and cathedrals, eat all the pepper cookies your heart desires (a local specialty), or simply soak up some rays at a picturesque local beach spot. As with all of our tours, this itinerary gives you max flexibility to choose the activities that you want to do.
