Croatia Tours & Holidays

Over the past 10 years, Croatia has justifiably grown from a little-known destination to one of the Mediterranean’s best loved holiday havens. Take a holiday to Croatia and you’ll be joining an ever-growing band of travellers who revel in a country where all the charm and warmth of the Mediterranean and the natural beauty of lakes and mountains remain unspoilt, and where you’ll enjoy the warmest of welcomes and the friendliest of service from locals eager to share the joys of their country with you.

Croatia tours are the perfect way to discover a warm, welcoming land with a stunning coastline framed by the glittering blue Adriatic Sea and backed by striking peaks and lush green woodland, and where historic towns and villages provide a perfect backdrop for a holiday Croatia alone can provide.

Modern hotels, pristine beaches and all the amenities you’d expect from a first-class holiday destination combine with the cultural richness of historic sites and some spectacular scenery. Croatia tours give visitors the opportunity to rest and relax in the resorts of the sun-kissed Istrian peninsula, or explore the exquisite region of Dalmatia as you make your way to the historic walled city of Dubrovnik - one of the best escorted tours of Croatia. Think sapphire seas and emerald cliffs, tumbling waterfalls and rugged mountains, and historic settlements nestled beneath forested hills - Croatia holidays are amongst some of Europe’s best kept secrets.

Dive into the warm waters of Croatia’s azure sea and discover its many islands off the idyllic Adriatic Coast. On the mainland, the shallow blue waters and beaches of the Makarska Riviera beckon you to its blissful shores, while just off the coast, more than a thousand stunning islands vie for your attention. See Croatia’s most famous beach, Zlatni rat, on the island of Brac, or mingle with the glitterati on the island of Hvar, famous for its glamorous harbours and trendy nightlife.

Not just a land of pristine waters and beautiful beaches, Croatia is also dotted with historic architecture and breathtaking scenery, with hills, mountains and forests to explore to your heart’s content. This country's scenery ranges from lofty mountains blanketed in pine forests to rolling hills draped in vineyards, and Croatia tours are one of the best ways to experience everything the country has to offer. Your travel in Croatia can be full of adventure, whatever type of Croatia holiday you’re after. Hike over the craggy peaks and river canyons of the Dinaric Alps, or cycle along the back roads through Istria’s rugged landscapes; alternatively, you can relax and unwind in one of the country’s many coastal homesteads.

Further south, discover the tumbling waterfalls of Krka National Park, or kayak on the scenic lakes of the beautiful Mljet Island. One of the country’s biggest draws and a favourite stop of Croatia tours is the UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park, a verdant oasis of forests, crystal-clear lakes and interconnecting waterfalls. Here, you might spot rare birds, deer, wild boar and even brown bears.

Croatia’s culture is a mix of influences from past ruling kingdoms. Soak up the rich history in Split, home of the Roman Palace of the Emperor Diocletian, or stroll through the UNESCO-listed Old Town of Dubrovnik, where a sea of red roofs and church spires form an iconic skyline.

Croatian food encompasses a wealth of different culinary influences, and visitors can enjoy everything from locally caught seafood to fresh vegetarian salads and indulgent international dishes. Whatever you’re craving, you’ll find an endless array of delicious food and drink to keep you satisfied during your Croatia holiday.

Croatia has a rich food culture and plenty of unique local delicacies to enjoy. One of the most famous dishes that is essential for visitors wanting a taste of the country to try is their octopus salad: soft and tender octopus delicately dressed in olive oil, fresh tomatoes and lemon can be found on most traditional menus. Another must-try dish is the classic black risotto, a rich and indulgent dish coloured with squid ink, cooked with wine and scattered with fresh herbs. Seafood is a prominent part of Croatian cuisine: taste the delights of squid, mussels, prawns, clams, oysters and meaty white fish that has been freshly caught that morning, washed down with a cool glass of crisp Croatian Zinfandel.

Croatia is also known for its delicious craft beer, the most popular of which are Pan, Karlovačko and Ožujsko; all three you can find in the country’s many bars and liquor shops.

As well as elegant dining, Croatia has a fantastic street food scene. Indulge in the lip-smackingly good Ćevapi - minced meat shaped into small patties, traditionally doused in a rich red pepper and tomato sauce known as ajar, topped with sour cheese and stuffed into fluffy flatbreads - the perfect portable meal to enjoy in the warm Croatian sunshine.
