Dalmatian Coast Odyssey - Dubrovnik to Hvar
It's usually a choice. Sun, sea and island vibes? Or a destination boasting cultural and historical treasures? Croatia's Dalmatian Coast is both: the ideal blend of enlightenment and relaxation. And walking and hiking with us is how you experience it all—at the laid-back local pace. Get set to enjoy two of the best vacations you've ever had.
Highlights
- Explore the powerful sense of place in the ancient region of Dalmatia, gaining insights from our local friends into Croatia's history and culture
- Island-hop across the sun-drenched Adriatic as small boats—and your own two feet—take you to hidden crystalline bays
- Discover Dubrovnik, an architectural masterpiece and World Heritage site with its 82-foot-high fortified wall
- Hike your way through olive groves, vineyards, fields of lavender and charming fishing villages with jaw-dropping sea views

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
We ordinarily staff our trips with three leaders: two leaders out on the trail offering support—allowing everyone to have the experience they want, whether it's an easygoing interpretative walk or a rigorous hike—while the third leader moves the van from trailhead to trail end. This trip is a little different in that our routes are a combination of loop hikes and out-and-back trails that begin and end in the same location. This means that you'll still have the same two leaders providing excellent trail support without the need for a third leader to move the van.
