OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
This walk explores Dubrovnik and Split and four of Croatia’s beautiful islands.
Island hop, visiting remote villages on archetypal Croatian island, including Korcula and its main town Korcula Town, also known as Little Dubrovnik because of its medieval squares, churches and palaces. We also explore the two islands of Sipan and Hvar, similarly stunning; both have extravagant architecture, gorgeous beaches and stunning coastlines.
Mljet is our last island walk. The island is Eden-like, improbably green and salubriously lush, and home to two salted lakes of Veliko and Malo Jezero which locals have swum in for centuries. A perfect contrast to the other walks.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Island hop between Split and Dubrovnik
- Tour of Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic, and time to explore Split
- Walk and explore four famous Croatian islands: Hvar, Korcula, Mljet and Sipan
- Enjoy Croatian cuisine and hospitality, and escape from the crowds when walking on the islands
- Stay in authentic boutique 3 star Croatian accommodations or upgrade to excellent 4-star plus hotels

These days Lopud is a charming quiet place with fantastic beaches, with no cars or traffic and home to a permanent population of just under 300 Croatians. However, in the past, Lopud was a very important port, with great strategic importance. In the 17th century, it is said to have had a population of 14,000 people, mostly involved in seafaring. In the 18th to the early 20th centuries, it was part of the Republic of Dubrovnik, but before that the French, English and Austrians all took turns in occupying this strategically located island.
The walk explores the island’s momentous maritime past via atmospheric ruins of a fortress, a palace, churches dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries and a restored Franciscan monastery. There’s the added advantage of enjoying the gorgeous beaches and the Med before returning to Dubrovnik in the afternoon.

WEATHER
From May the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season, spring and autumn are by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.)
See the weather average temperatures at different times of the year.

Overview
This walk explores Dubrovnik and Split and four of Croatia’s beautiful islands.
Island hop, visiting remote villages on archetypal Croatian island, including Korcula and its main town Korcula Town, also known as Little Dubrovnik because of its medieval squares, churches and palaces. We also explore the two islands of Sipan and Hvar, similarly stunning; both have extravagant architecture, gorgeous beaches and stunning coastlines.
Mljet is our last island walk. The island is Eden-like, improbably green and salubriously lush, and home to two salted lakes of Veliko and Malo Jezero which locals have swum in for centuries. A perfect contrast to the other walks.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- Island hop between Split and Dubrovnik
- Tour of Dubrovnik, the pearl of the Adriatic, and time to explore Split
- Walk and explore four famous Croatian islands: Hvar, Korcula, Mljet and Sipan
- Enjoy Croatian cuisine and hospitality, and escape from the crowds when walking on the islands
- Stay in authentic boutique 3 star Croatian accommodations or upgrade to excellent 4-star plus hotels

These days Lopud is a charming quiet place with fantastic beaches, with no cars or traffic and home to a permanent population of just under 300 Croatians. However, in the past, Lopud was a very important port, with great strategic importance. In the 17th century, it is said to have had a population of 14,000 people, mostly involved in seafaring. In the 18th to the early 20th centuries, it was part of the Republic of Dubrovnik, but before that the French, English and Austrians all took turns in occupying this strategically located island.
The walk explores the island’s momentous maritime past via atmospheric ruins of a fortress, a palace, churches dating back to the 15th and 16th centuries and a restored Franciscan monastery.

AVAILABILITY
1st April to 31st October
ACCESS
Travelling to the Start of the walk
Getting to Split
There are many airlines that fly to Split, two of the best websites to research flights are kayak.com and skyscanner.com.
We arrange the Split airport transfer and take you directly to your accommodation in Split. Once we know your travel details we will arrange the transfers for you.
Travelling at the end of the walk
Getting back to the airport
We arrange airport transfers and take you back to the Dubrovnik airport at the end of the walk. Once we know your travel details we will arrange the transfers for you.
There are various other ways to get to Dubrovnik but flying is by far the easiest and most efficient. Please let us know your travel details once you know them.
WEATHER
From May the temperature begins to rise so be prepared for warmer days if you walk in summer. Shoulder season, spring and autumn are by far the best time as the weather is perfect for walking and the added advantage of having fewer people around in the villages and on the coast (we walk away from the populated areas on the walk so crowds are not an issue.)
See the weather average temperatures at different times of the year.
INSURANCE
We require that you have adequate travel insurance against potential losses, damage or injury, including cancellation costs and loss of luggage.
For all trips that require international travel, you must have purchased travel insurance that also includes medical evacuation coverage.
We also charge a cancellation fee if you cancel your walking holiday after we have confirmed it to cover costs incurred from our suppliers and in the office. See the FAQ section for more information.
