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.

At Walking Holidays Croatia, we believe in making your holiday as hassle-free as possible. We provide a detailed itinerary handout with all the GPX routes, book all your accommodations, and arrange all the transfers, including ferries. In case of any emergency, we offer 24/7 support to ensure your safety and comfort.
