Start your 'South Adriatic Coastline' tour by getting a bird’s eye perspective onto things. In the company of a local guide, enjoy a swift cable car ride up to Mount Srđ, towering directly above Dubrovnik. From the top, get an understanding of the intricate position of this remarkable town, but also unforgettable glimpses of its terracotta roofs and neatly arranged Old Town streets. Then, explore them on foot, learning of the local cultural treasures and historic pathways. As you delve into the harmony, simplicity and beauty of this remarkable town, you’ll get a sense of your journey beginning with a grand opening! Return to your hotel early in the afternoon and enjoy dinner and overnight in Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik area. (B, D)

In the morning, venture east. Past the serene valley of Konavle, cross the border with Montenegro. The scenery turns more dramatic, with snow-capped mountains looming over the turquoise Adriatic Sea. Driving around Bay of Kotor, its beauty entices, with settlements inhabited as early as the Illyrian and Roman times charmingly dotting the shorelines. Discover the picturesque Perast with its quaint seafront and ‘Our Lady of the Rocks’ church poised on a manmade island facing the town. Next, visit the UNESCO-listed town of Kotor. Compare it to Dubrovnik and find distinct Venetian heritage as the main difference. After your guide introduces you to a maze of curvy alleys and sun-kissed piazzas, wander around on your own before heading back. Upon return, dinner and overnight in Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik area. (B, D)

Enroute to the leisurely Makarska, divert across another border into Bosnia and Herzegovina. Discover Mostar, the crossroads of the East and the West, where urban style, religion, culture and food all embrace the clash. As you explore its sights like the Old Bazaar, the Turkish House and one of the many old Mosques, your guide will bring the town’s contrasts and lessons in focus and then allow you to explore on your own. Visit the old craft shops and savour some traditional fare like ćevapi or baklava. Arrive to Makarska later in the afternoon and enjoy a dinner and overnight stay at Makarska Riviera. (B, D)

Today, visit the two Croatian UNESCO-listed sites in the vicinity of the resort town of Makarska. Split, the largest coastal city in Croatia, bustles and buzzes, as it grows more and more popular among the travellers for its easy-going spirit, creative food and shopping scene and of course, remarkable heritage. Take note of the historic core of Split, the Diocletian Palace, and compare it to a maze of atmospheric streets and alleyways in your next stop, the petite town of Trogir. Rooted in the greatness of Greek and Roman times, Trogir showcases some of the finest architectural works in Croatia, including the incredibly intricate portal of its Cathedral, the Town Loggia and the Cipiko Palace. After a day of culture and heritage, head back to Makarska Riviera for dinner and overnight. (B, D)

A day of leisure brings your tour close to its grand finale. Relax on the long pebbly beaches in Makarska Riviera or join an optional excursion to the Krka Waterfalls National Park. Krka Waterfalls are often referred to as ‘Little Plitvice’, as they somewhat resemble Croatia’s favourite National Park. Return to Makarska Riviera for dinner and overnight. (B, D)

Depart Makarska Riviera in the morning and head to Ploče for a lovely ferry boat ride to Trpanj on Pelješac Peninsula. A short bus and a boat transfer later, you will be on Korčula Island and in the beautiful Korčula Town, charming and entertaining at the same time. The fishbone pattern of its streets, superb stonework of its facades, Korčula stuns around each corner. After a brisk walking tour, wander the former Venetian stronghold on your own, before returning to Orebić. A break from the scenic ride through Pelješac Peninsula takes place in Ston, the town of salt and oysters. Arrive to your hotel late in the afternoon. Dinner in the hotel and overnight in Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik area. (B, D)
