Self Guided walking tour Split to Dubrovnik
Highlights
Split | Hvar | Korcula | Mljet | Šipan Island | Dubrovnik | Island hopping by ferry or catamaran |Description of Self Guided walking tour Split to Dubrovnik
This self guided week of walking in Croatia takes you along the Dalmatian coastline from Split to Dubrovnik via the islands of Hvar, Korcula and Mljet.Many of the Mediterranean scenes of olive groves, lavender fields and crystal clear shallows have remained unchanged down through the ages and there are numerous walking trails that bring you out at the beach or lakeside for a well deserved dip before your evening meal.
The itinerary below provides the perfect blend of walking, island hopping and cultural sightseeing with plenty of shaded paths through pine forests providing ample opportunities to rest, relax and pause for a picnic. Your luggage will be transferred ahead so as to be ready and waiting on your arrival at your next pre-booked, locally owned overnight accommodation. Don't forget a day pack for refillable water bottles and freshly baked flaky strukli.
Walking tours around the old town district of Dubrovnik take place with a local guide after arriving by ferry or catamaran from the island of Mljet. This not only lessens your impact on an already overcrowded destination but also allows you to arrive before or after the coachloads.
Elsewhere you’ll experience the former aristocratic residences of Dubrovnik’s most important families on the island of Šipan before returning to the mainland for one last night on the town overlooking the twinkling waves of the Adriatic, beneath a black blanket pinpricked by stars.
