The town of Rovinj on the Istrian Peninsula is threaded with Italian influence. Guests love the winding city streets, picturesque harbor and colorful building façades. It’s a lovely, walkable town and there are plenty of art galleries, small squares and a harbor dotted with fishing boats. Meals: B, L, D

Today we visit Šibenik, nestled in a sea inlet on Croatia’s Adriatic coast. The origins of Šibenik date back to 1066 and there is a plethora of architectural styles to admire. Don’t miss the UNESCO World Heritagelisted St James’ Cathedral, crafted from white stone – just take the stairs from the Riva, the seaside promenade. Meals: B, L, D

The tiny town of Trogir is a hidden gem, located on a small island between the mainland and Ciovo Island. For some of the most spectacular views of this photogenic town, climb the tower of the Cathedral of St Lawrence — it’s the highest building in Trogir. Meals: B, L, D

The island of Vis, off the Croatian mainland, was closed to visitors until 1989. This has given Vis a rare sense of peace and authenticity. Its rocky coastline, azure waters and Venetian architecture made it the ideal backdrop of the film ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.’ (2018). As the afternoon rolls in, it’s time to set sail to Hvar. Meals: B, L, D

The heart of island paradise Hvar is the Old Town — while it’s become a modern-day hotspot, it’s layered in history and architectural wonder. The town of Hvar is a photogenic jumble of whitewashed buildings with sun-kissed red roofs, and beyond the town are rolling hills peppered with lavender fields, olive groves, and grapevines.

The sixth-largest island in the Adriatic, Korčula, is among the most beloved in Croatia.
