Accomodation
It is important to note that accommodation in Europe tend to be quite different to other areas of the world you may have travelled in. Buildings and rooms are generally old and may not have been renovated or maintained to the highest standard. Downtown hotels in Europe were not built to be hotels but rich owners houses, which have been changed into hotels. Therefore unusual room sizes are common as large rooms have been partitioned in the past, resulting in rather "thin" walls. Reception areas, rooms and bathrooms tend to be very small as they were often added into an existing room, and may have a hand nozzle rather than a conventional shower head. On this trip you can expect to stay in small family-run hotels (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. You can expect to find clean, safe, simple accommodation in convenient locations. Note that most accommodation in Europe does not have air conditioning units in rooms. Air conditioning is not routinely installed in European homes and workplaces. However, nearly all hotels will provide a standing or desk fan for your room on hot nights. If you do not already have one in your room, please ask your CEO to organize one for you with reception.

Group Leader
All G Adventures group trips are accompanied by one of our Chief Experience Officer's (CEO). The aim of the CEO is to take the hassle out of your travels and to help you have the best trip possible. They will provide information on the places you are traveling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see, recommend great local eating venues and introduce you to our local friends. While not being guides in the traditional sense you can expect them to have a broad general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. We also use local guides where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting- we think it's the best of both worlds.

Itinerary

G Adventures: Active Croatia Discovery

Day 1: Dubrovnik
Arrive at any time. Meet your CEO and fellow travellers at a welcome briefing this evening at the hotel, then set off for a CEO-led walking tour of Dubrovnik's old town before dinner out with the group.
Located on the Adriatic Sea, in the shadow of Mount Srdj, Dubrovnik boasts an Old Town showcasing Baroque and Renaissance architecture and is said to have had settlements dated prior to the Christian era. A stunning city in its own right, Game of Thrones chose this location for the King’s Landing. Keep an eye out for filming locations!
Day 2: Dubrovnik
Join your CEO for a short walk to the ferry port of Dubrovnik this morning, then travel to the island of Kolocep. Meet up with a local hiking guide and enjoy a moderate hike through the thick pine forest that line the secluded rocky bays and inlets. Should you wish, swim in the tranquil waters. Take some free time in a village for lunch before hopping back on the ferry to Dubrovnik for a free evening.
Kolocep is one of the Elaphiti islands, a peaceful archipelago just a stone’s throw from town. Set off on a hike and enjoy time in town before returning to Dubrovnik with free time to explore.
Day 3: Dubrovnik/Mljet
Head out in the morning on a guided sea kayak excursion outside of the Dubrovnik city walls. In the afternoon afternoon travel by catamaran to the island of Mljet, considered to be one of the most beautiful islands in all of Croatia. Enjoy a free evening to relax or to join an optional dinner out with the group.
Mljet Island is famous for its clear waters and is a great location for swimming and snorkeling. Pomena has a number of highly rated restaurants if you’re looking to sample the local cuisine while enjoying the charming, coastal atmosphere.
Day 4: Mljet/Postira
Lace up your walking shoes and head out on a guided hike around Veliko and Malo Jezero lakes in the beautiful Mljet National Park. Here, you can opt to board a “solar boat”, the first fully sustainable boats of their kind and sail around Islet Melita, home to a Benedictine monastery built in the 12th century. Later, board a catamaran and sail to the island of Brac where you’ll transfer to the charming village of Postira for the night.
Postira is home to Lazaric Castle and the Church of St John and is known for its local olive oil and wine production. Whet your tastebuds with the local specialties if you see fit.
Day 5: Postira
Explore the picturesque medieval village of Dol accompanied by a specialist hiking guide on an eco village walk. Witness traditional houses built with stone slabs and multiple caves carved from grainy hrapocuša stones. Celebrate a beautiful walk with a visit to a local “Konoba” or tavern to sample homemade, locally sourced food and beverages. Rest your legs or explore further with free time this afternoon and evening.
Dol is home to approximately a hundred inhabitants and is located a short two kilometers from Postira. Here you’ll have the opportunity to not only tour local caves, but also become acquainted with stone beehives popular in this region.
Day 6: Postira/Šibenik
Travel to Supetar this morning before boarding a ferry boat to Split. Explore UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Diocletian’s Palace, upon arrival. This afternoon, board a private coach to Šibenik, a medieval town situated on the Adriatic Coast. Dive in with a walk through the old town and then join your CEO on a hike along St. Anthony’s Canal Trail.
Diocletian’s Palace took more than 10 years to construct and was built with white stone imported from the Island of Brac. It is a beautifully imposing Roman ruin and provides important insight into the history of Split. Šibenik is known for its main cathedral, four fortresses, and a historic old town.
Day 7: Šibenik
Set off with your CEO to explore Krka National Park this morning. Hike through the lush forests, along the river, and enjoy a series of spectacular waterfalls before returning to Šibenik for a free evening and optional farewell dinner. Spend one final evening with your new friends before heading onward tomorrow.

Day 8: Šibenik
Depart at any time.
