Question 1

How does luggage transfer work?

Accepted Answer

Your main luggage is transported between accommodations each day while you walk — it will be waiting for you when you arrive. You carry only a lightweight daypack on the trail. All luggage transfers and local transfers on and off the track are included in the package for all four itineraries.

Question 2

How do the ferry transfers work on the Dalmatian Coast walks?

Accepted Answer

The island hopping is one of the great pleasures of the Dalmatian walks. Public ferry tickets between the islands are included in the Split to Dubrovnik package — covering Split to Hvar, Hvar to Korčula, Korčula to Mljet, and Mljet to Dubrovnik. Ferries are a relaxed and scenic way to move between islands, and the Adriatic views from the deck are hard to beat. Stroll's representatives on the ground are available to assist with any logistics.

Question 3

What is the walking like on the Dalmatian Coast?

Accepted Answer

The Dalmatian Coast walks are graded easy to moderate and are accessible to most fitness levels. Daily distances are manageable, with the island terrain involving gentle coastal paths, pine forest tracks, and village lanes rather than significant mountain climbs. The combination of walking, ferry travel, and town exploration makes for a varied and relaxed pace. A good base fitness is all that's needed.

Question 4

What food and drink should I try?

Accepted Answer

Croatia has two distinct culinary identities. On the Dalmatian Coast, fresh seafood dominates — grilled fish, black risotto (crni rižot) made with cuttlefish ink, seafood pasta, and the ubiquitous peka (slow-cooked meat or octopus under an iron bell). The local wines, particularly Plavac Mali reds from the islands, are excellent. In Istria, the cuisine leans heavily Italian — hand-rolled pasta, prosciutto, and above all truffles, for which the Motovun forest region is internationally renowned. Istrian olive oil is some of the finest produced anywhere, regularly winning global awards. Pair everything with a glass of Malvazija, Istria's signature white wine.

Question 5

What currency do I need, and can I use cards?

Accepted Answer

Croatia uses the Euro (€), having adopted it in January 2023. Cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants, and shops throughout both regions, though it's worth carrying some cash for smaller establishments, markets, and ferry-side snack stops. ATMs are readily available in all the main towns.

Question 6

Is tipping expected?

Accepted Answer

Tipping is not mandatory in Croatia but is appreciated for good service — rounding up the bill or leaving 10% at a restaurant is common practice. It's particularly welcome at smaller family-run establishments where your custom makes a real difference.

Question 7

Can my dietary requirements be accommodated?

Accepted Answer

Flag any allergies or dietary needs at the time of booking. Croatian cuisine is diverse and generally accommodating, with vegetarian options increasingly available, particularly in the more cosmopolitan towns. Smaller family-run restaurants in rural Istria may have more limited menus — let Stroll know your requirements so they can advise on the best options along your specific route.
