Opatija

Already in the 19th century, Opatija became a fashionable spa due to its favorable location, pleasant climate, and rich history. Kings, emperors, and personalities from art and music enjoyed their time here. Everywhere in the seaside resort, you can still feel the special flair from the past days of the Danube Monarchy. Enjoy the incomparable charm – Opatija invites you to visit at any time of the year.

Day 1 | Overnight Stay

Day 3 | Opatija and Krk Island

In the morning, your tour guide will first show you the glamorous seaside resort of Opatija, and you can be transported back to the K&K era. The lovingly restored hotel complexes, most of which were built in the Art Nouveau style during the last century, the beautiful waterfront promenade, and the well-kept parks are just a few highlights you will see in Opatija. Afterwards, you will discover the beauty of the largest island in the Adriatic – Krk Island. The mild Mediterranean climate, the favorable geographical location, and the diversity of nature and culture have led to the name “golden island” since ancient times. You will drive through the interior of the island directly to the main town of Krk. Take a stroll through the old town of Krk and walk through 3,000 years of history.

Day 4 | Plitvice Lakes

After breakfast, you will explore the legendary landscape around the Plitvice Lakes. The 16 cascading lakes are world-famous, and the park is the oldest and largest national park in Croatia. The Plitvice Lakes also play a significant role in the famous Karl May film “The Treasure of Silver Lake,” which was filmed at the lakes in the 1960s. In 1979, this unique natural phenomenon was designated a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. Discover the breathtaking beauty of the park with its clear, emerald-green waters and the fantastically shaped limestone deposits (sturdy footwear required).

Day 5 | Istria Tour

Poreč, the Lim Fjord, and Rovinj are the destinations for today’s excursion. In the over 2,000-year-old city of Poreč, many small old town alleys remind of its Roman past. The jewel of Poreč is the Euphrasius Basilica from the 6th century, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1997. To conclude today’s excursion, you will get to know the so-called “Croatian Venice” – the city of Rovinj. The old town built on a peninsula, with its winding alleys and romantic Gothic buildings, radiates a typical Mediterranean flair and invites you to explore. The old stairways, covered passages, palaces adorned with the Lion of St. Mark, and the many cafés give the city its own charm. Return to the hotel. Dinner and overnight stay.
