  • Days 1-2

    Zagreb

    Begin in Croatia's capital and take time to adjust. Visit the Upper Town (Gornji Grad) early morning to beat the crowds. The funicular ride up offers great city views and you'll find St. Mark's Church with its unique tiled roof. Visit Dolac Market before 9 AM when locals shop and the atmosphere is most authentic.

    
  • Day 3

    Ljubljana & Bled

    Drive 2.5 hours to Slovenia's capital. Spend your morning walking through Ljubljana's pedestrian-only old town. Visit Lake Bled in the afternoon and plan your Bled Castle stop at sunset for the best lake views. The castle path is quite steep so wear good shoes.

    
  • Day 4

    Lake Bled

    Take an early morning pletna boat to Bled Island before the crowds arrive. Walk up to Ojstrica viewpoint for the best lake views. It's a 20-minute uphill walk but the views make it worthwhile. Remember water and reliable footwear.

    
  • Day 5

    Postojna & Opatija to Plitvice

    Start with Postojna Cave. Pack a warm layer since the cave stays at 10°C (50°F). Stop briefly in Opatija before continuing to Plitvice. Buy your park tickets for early next morning to avoid crowds.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Plitvice Lakes & Split

    Start your Plitvice visit at 7 AM in summer. Take the upper lakes trail first for better morning photos and fewer people. Drive about 3 hours to Split. Use the next full day to explore Diocletian's Palace and walk along the Riva waterfront.

    
  • Days 8-9

    Split & Trogir

    Start your cruise and explore Split's historic center. Visit Trogir the next day. You can also take an excursion to Krka National Park. Bring water shoes for Krka's sometimes slippery paths.

    
  • Days 10-11

    Island Hopping

    See the Blue Cave on Biševo if weather allows, then visit historic Vis Island. Next up is Hvar. Walk up to the fortress for sunset. The climb takes 20 minutes but offers amazing views of the Pakleni Islands.

    
  • Days 12-13

    Korčula & Mljet

    Visit Korčula, said to be Marco Polo's birthplace. On Mljet, explore the national park by bike to see the salt lakes. End your day in Slano with fresh local oysters.

  • Days 14-15

    Dubrovnik

    Sailing into Dubrovnik is unforgettable. Walk the city walls early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat. As one visitor noted: "The early morning walk on the walls was magical. We started at 8 AM and had them almost to ourselves."

  • Days 1-2

    Zagreb

    Land at Zagreb Airport in the morning to avoid traffic. The Upper Town is best explored early when the stone streets are quiet. Visit St. Mark's Church before 9 AM to beat the tour groups and get perfect photos of its distinctive tiled roof. You can catch the daily noon cannon fire at Lotrščak Tower if you time it right.

    
  • Days 3-4

    Ljubljana & Bled

    Drive 2.5 hours to Slovenia's capital. Visit the Central Market on Saturday morning when it's most lively. At Lake Bled, take an early morning pletna boat to the island church to avoid afternoon's choppy waters. The walk up to Bled Castle is steep but offers amazing views. Pack good walking shoes if it's been raining.

    
  • Day 5

    Postojna & Opatija

    Postojna Cave stays cool at 10°C year-round, so bring a light jacket. You'll cover 3.7 km by electric train inside the caves. Head to coastal Opatija next, where you can walk the 12-km Lungomare promenade at sunset.

    
  • Days 6-7

    Plitvice Lakes & Split

    Get to Plitvice Lakes right when it opens at 7 AM to see the waterfalls before the crowds arrive. The wooden walkways can be slippery, so wear shoes with good grip. In Split, stay near Diocletian's Palace for easy access. The palace basement stays cool even in summer heat.

    
  • Days 8-9

    Dubrovnik

    The 3-hour drive south leads to Dubrovnik. Walk the city walls early morning or late afternoon to avoid the hot sun. Buy cable car tickets to Mount Srđ online to skip the long lines.

    
  • Days 10-15

    Island Hopping

    Take boats between Korčula, Brač, Hvar, and Mljet. Morning brings the calmest waters for swimming stops. Get a map from Korčula's tourist office to navigate the winding medieval streets. The climb to Hvar's fortress takes about 20 minutes but rewards you with incredible Adriatic sunset views.

    
  • Day 16

    Departure

    Leave from Dubrovnik. Book afternoon flights since the airport transfer takes 45 minutes from the port.
