Slovenia and Croatia

Breakfast in the hotel. Transfer to Gorenjska, where the Alps represent more than 50 % of the surface. We will continue to Bled, a Slovenian pearl beneath the Alps. Bled is one of the smallest Slovenian cities, but very popular worldwide. Here the ex-Yugoslav President Josip Broz Tito had his summer residence. But the positive energy of this place was discovered much earlier, so Bled spread cultural and spa tourism. With a typical boat called »pletna« we will drive to the island, where we can ring a bell of good luck. But carefully, here, wishes come true! Free time on the island for taking pictures or tasting typical Bled desserts, »kremšnite« (cream cakes). Continue to Bohinj to another glacial lake surrounded by integral nature and the peaks of the Julian Alps. We will drive deeper into the Triglav National Park and walk to the Savica waterfall, one of the most visited Slovenian waterfalls. Transport back to Ljubljana overnight.

Breakfast in the hotel. We continue Slovenia and Croatia private tour to Primorska. The first stop will be an intermittent lake on a karst field, Cerknica Lake. Interestingly, the lake increases during the rainy seasons (spring and autumn). So it turns into the largest Slovenian lake. During dry periods all the water flows into the hollow karst underworld, and the lake is practically nonexistent. Our journey continues to the Škocjan Caves, one of the most beautiful caves in the world, protected by UNESCO. Visit this monumental and magical underground world. After the visit, we will continue to the Slovenian coast—free time in Piran, where you can enjoy a delicious lunch with specialties from the Adriatic Sea. In nearby Regional Park Sečovlje, we will witness the natural cultivation of salt. Piran salt is unique due to the salt flower - the first layer of salt collected and has the best quality and aroma. After visiting the saltpans, we will return to the capital city. Overnight.

Breakfast in the hotel. Drive to Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia. After arrival, you visit the most important cultural and architectural attractions: the Cathedral, the main square, the market, and Tkalčičeva Street. In the late afternoon, accommodation at the hotel and free time for independent walks. To feel the city's beat and get a feeling for the local habits of city dwellers, we recommend a walk through the centre or having a drink in one of the lively bars. Overnight.

Breakfast in the hotel. Dive to Plitvice National Park and its wonders, protected by UNESCO. The lakes in the park are part of the Karst world with unique hydrological and geomorphologic characteristics.

Accommodation at the hotel. In the evening we suggest a walk by the vivid streets of the city. Overnight.

Breakfast in the hotel and the drive to Split, where a guide will take us through that charming Dalmatian city, which dominates the Palace of Emperor Diocletian, protected by UNESCO.
