This adventure is more than just another Croatian vacation – it's an exploration of the stunning landscapes, rich history, and vibrant culture of Croatia's most beautiful region.
As you traverse the top islands of Dalmatia all the way to Dubrovnik, you'll experience the unique blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage that this region offers.
Dalmatia, nestled on the eastern Adriatic shore, is great to explore on foot. The islands are a treasure trove of pristine beaches, clear waters, and historic towns. The trails lead you through olive groves, vineyards, and along the coast, offering breathtaking views at every turn.
Your journey begins in the vibrant city of Split, from where you'll take a ferry to the picturesque island of Brač. Here, you'll hike to the peak of Vidova Gora, the highest point of the Adriatic islands. The journey continues to Hvar, where you'll explore the historic villages of Velo and Malo Grablje.
Next, you'll discover the medieval town of Korčula, walking through olive groves and fields to the Kocje Nature Park. The tour concludes in the historic city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning architecture and marbled streets. There, you’ll also spend one day exploring the largest of the Elafiti Islands, before departing.

1) Stunningly beautiful places with perfect weather! Good balance of countryside and old city walking. 2) The Trip App was incredible!!! 5 stars! Loved the write ups on each location. The links to all restaurants, hotels, attractions, tickets! The GPS app also worked. 3) PERFECTLY located hotels and rooms with two beds and thoughtful staff! Loved being right in the old towns with amazing views. I did not mind carrying bags up or down in order to have the locations but much appreciated when we did have help with this 4) Breakfast being included with the rooms (even though there was a mix up the first morning). I don't like to have to plan breakfast spots and the buffets were incredible. 5) The kindness and promptness of the drivers, Nice transport vehicles and easy drop off and pick up points. Plus help with our bags. 6) The Walking Holidays Croatia team was helpful and easy to work with. We appreciate all they did to customize out trip.


Walking in the Bernese Oberland felt like a dream. The trails were incredibly scenic, with views of snow-capped peaks, turquoise lakes, and picturesque Swiss villages. The accommodations were comfortable and ideally located, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Lan was wonderful in helping me plan my days and ensuring I had everything I needed. Switzerland’s natural beauty is unmatched, and this trip was the perfect way to experience it on foot.
My walking holiday in Chamonix and the French Alps was unforgettable. Each day brought stunning views of towering peaks, alpine meadows, and glacial streams. The routes were well-marked and varied in difficulty, making it easy to tailor the days to my pace. The accommodations were charming and perfectly situated for breathtaking morning views. Lan was so helpful in suggesting how to make the most of my time in the region, and their support made the whole trip seamless. If you love mountains and fresh air, this trip is a must!
Exploring Madeira on foot was an incredible adventure. The trails offered a variety of experiences, from dramatic cliffside paths to lush levadas (irrigation channels) winding through the forests. The island’s unique landscapes were unlike anything I’ve seen before. Samo was fantastic, providing clear guidance and tips on which trails to prioritize based on my interests. The accommodations were excellent, and the local cuisine was a delightful bonus. This walking holiday introduced me to the wonders of Madeira, and I’ll definitely be back!

Outstanding in every respect. Our guide Davor had the perfect balance of knowledge and humor
Overall the trip was well organized. There was a bit of confusion at the beginning with respect to hotel reservations and luggage transfer but Anja was very helpful in getting details sorted and responding promptly to any questions and concerns. We were travelling in the off season and in some small towns there were no or limited restaurants and food options. Anja helped us figure out GPS links and maps for our hikes. We very much appreciated all her efforts. The hikes were beautiful and we would book with Anja again.
