Adventure Holidays in Croatia

Ten reasons to visit Croatia

1. Dubrovnik: A joyous jumble of narrow cobbled streets, baroque buildings and ancient city walls, it’s no wonder that Dubrovnik is a World Heritage Site.

2. Wonderful walking and trekking: The landscape quickly becomes mountainous, and a large network of trails makes it a paradise for walkers.

3. Incredible national parks: The Sutjeska National Park boasts one of Europe’s last primeval forests, as well as the mighty Durmitor mountains. 

4. Game of Thrones... and atmospheric Roman remains. Diocletian’s Palace in Split was used in the Game of Thrones TV series, as was the Renaissance city of Dubrovnik.

5. The climate: Croatia boasts one of the sunniest climates in Europe. At Exodus, we tend to travel off-season, when it’s cooler and less busy.

6. It’s easy to get to: Flights from the UK are around 2.5 hours.

7. Marvellous cycling: With its island-scattered bays and pine-clad hillsides, the Dalmatian Coast offers mile after mile of quiet coastal routes, perfect for cyclists.

8. Pretty islands and coastal towns: A little way offshore lie the beautiful islands of Hvar, Korcula and Mljet, where pretty coastal villages and medieval towns are set against a backdrop of pine forests and mountains.

9. Off-the-beaten-track adventures: Although more Brits are going to Croatia than ever before, and it regularly appears in top destination guides, on many of our Exodus adventures you won’t see another soul.

10. It’s a foodie paradise: Our self-guided cycling trips around the Istrian peninsula allows you to take things at your own pace, so you can try all the things the region is famous for: truffles, olive oil and asparagus.
