Jewels of the Adriatic15 days - from $5095Combine majestic landscapes with historic cities on this unique journey This unique itinerary combines majestic landscapes with historic cities. Starting in Venice we travel to Slovenia, a country almost without peer in Europe for natural beauty. Its classy capital, Ljubljana, is dominated by a medieval castle that overlooks the town centre and the Kamnik Alps for a picturesque backdrop. Scenic delights abound nearby with the beautiful Lake Bohinj and the sublime surrounds of Lake Bled. Croatia’s Plitvice National Park is best explored using a network of wooden pathways, whilst wandering around the quaint winding streets of medieval Zadar is an amazing experience. From Split our trip takes on a slightly more adventurous flavour, combining scenic boat trips with walking and a day of cycling to explore the pristine islands of the Dalmatian Coast. A one-time maritime powerhouse, the delightful walled city of Dubrovnik has overcome siege and turmoil to remain one of the most majestic sights on the Adriatic Coast. Highlights
