After breakfast, set off to explore Plitvice Lakes National Park, located in the western interior of Croatia. This vast national park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, comprises a chain of 16 lakes with a truly unique layout. Each lake flows into the next via one or more waterfalls, with a total of 92 cascades reaching a height of 133 m! The water is remarkably clear and, fortunately, swimming is prohibited in the national park to preserve this splendid site.

These beautiful monuments are surrounded by old palaces of various architectural styles, creating a true cultural melting pot.

Finally, take the time to visit the old Franciscan monastery. It is known for its many works of art by great masters.

The old town of Korcula is crisscrossed by a series of narrow streets that branch off from the main street like the bones of a fish. The architecture of the old town is mainly influenced by the Venetian Renaissance. The old town center is dominated by the splendid Gothic-Renaissance St. Mark’s Cathedral, completed in the 15th century on the site of another 13th-century church.

There is a local legend that Marco Polo was born in the town of Korcula, and visiting his birthplace is well worth the detour. The house is under the protection of the Korcula Town Hall and will soon be converted into a Marco Polo museum.

After breakfast, head to the port to catch the ferry to Dubrovnik. Also known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979.

The old town is surrounded by medieval walls, which have been preserved in their original form and are open to visitors as a main attraction.

The entire city is a living monument and a rich treasure trove of history. Discover the city through its old medieval walls, dating from the 13th and 14th centuries, and its gates.

Early morning departure to the Kravice waterfalls, also known as the pearl of Herzegovina. The Trebizat River creates a 28-meter-high waterfall and a splendid natural amphitheater 120 meters wide. Continue to the historic city of Mostar. Spanning the deep Neretva Valley, the city developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman border town.

The Old Bridge has recently been rebuilt and many buildings in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the help of an international scientific committee set up by UNESCO.

Then continue to Počitelj, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, considered one of the most emblematic and historically significant towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This fortified medieval and Ottoman town is nestled in a rocky basin on the banks of the Neretva River. The distinctive architecture, blending medieval and Ottoman influences, is evident in the ruined stone-roofed houses and the narrow stairways that run through the town. Return to Dubrovnik at the end of the day.
