Overview

Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast is home to an incredible coastline, dramatic national parks, towering peaks, medieval towns, mount-watering food, cascading waterfalls and wonderful hospitality. This lovely walking holiday to Croatia includes some of Europe’s most spectacular trails, including a part of the spectacular Via Dinarica long-distance footpath which snakes through the Balkans. From the Croatian capital of Zagreb, with its bustling market, colourful old centre and stunning cathedral, we head first to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Plitvice Lakes.  Here we’ll discover an abundance of beautiful cascading waterfalls and stunning lakes. The undiscovered Velebit Mountains and breath-taking Paklenica National Park offer jaw-dropping scenery, off the beaten track trails and a visit to a welcoming homestay. Wherever we go on this holiday, we’ll be surrounded by dramatic views of the coast and the stunning archipelago of offshore islands. In the charming coastal towns of Zadar and Split we can enjoy Croatia’s famed café culture, amazing restaurants, stunning promenades and beautiful medieval architecture. This provides the perfect contrast to our adventure in the dramatic mountains.

This holiday takes you along excellent walking trails with views of the superb Adriatic Coast and there is enough walking each day to keep regular hikers happy. Walking days are usually between 4 and 5 hours on trails which range from grassy paths and forest woodland to alpine paths in the mountains. On some days we encounter sections of the Via Dinarica, the new long distance walking trail that links the countries of the Balkans. On Day 4 we stay in the heart of Paklenica away from any roads. On this day's relatively short hike we’ll carry what we need for 1 night but as all bedding is supplied, there is no need for heavy backpacking. Staying in the homestay gives us the opportunity to experience an unspoilt location and home cooked food. There are a couple of long drives (max 2 hours) as this holiday includes a number of the country’s highlights and most spectacular national parks. Relaxed evenings are spent in charming towns as this holiday gives a wonderful insight into a lesser known region of Croatia.

Why KE?

The Via Dinarica long distance trail is described as one of the top walking trails in the world. Why not join KE and enjoy sections of this fantastic trail as it leads you through the stunning landscapes of Croatia's finest national parks.
