Walking in Croatia

Croatia Walking Trips

Croatia is blessed with a magnificent coastline of mountains, fjords and islands, and is frequently described as the finest in Europe. Add to this one of the best climates, too, and Croatia walking holidays are an obvious choice.

Jagged limestone mountains dominate the skyline for some serious trekking, while the islands, with their gentle hills and glorious beaches, provide less strenuous but equally enjoyable walking tours. And with a wealth of delightful historic towns and cities such as Dubrovnik and Split, walking holidays in Croatia have something for everyone.

Picture isolated beaches that are drenched in the Mediterranean sun, charming towns lined with historical architecture and dramatic mountain scenery with views across the glistening coast – Croatia walking holidays are set against the most idyllic backdrop. As well as the stunning landscape, there’s so much history and culture to discover too and our diverse itineraries give you a deeper insight into the country. Visit places such as the wonderful UNESCO-listed Old City of Dubrovnik, explore the classical buildings of Trogir or amble through the lavender fields and pretty hamlets of Hvar.

If you really wany to scratch beneath the surface of this incredible country, our island hopping tour along the Dalmatian Coast is a great way to see multiple destinations in one trip. From the beautiful Vidova Gora and Brac Island to Korcula’s Kocje Nature Park, you’ll be introduced to some of the most diverse and picturesque scenery in Europe.

Top 4 Islands to Visit on Croatia Walking Tours

Hvar: Arguably the most well known of the Croatian islands, Hvar is a place of pure beauty. And although this sun-soaked island tends to attract the rich and famous, it also has hidden depths that often go undiscovered in favour of its pristine beaches and swanky nightlife. Hiking in Croatia lets you delve a little deeper and explore lesser-known places such as Milna and the hillside village of Malo Grablje. But if you prefer to stay more central, there are plenty of sights to discover in the port town, from the 13^th century walls and Renaissance cathedral to its aromatic lavender fields.

Korcula: There’s no doubt Korcula has been placed firmly on the map by its world-famous wineries and vineyards, and each year discerning wine lovers are drawn here. The island is also made up of sleepy hamlets, woodlands and fishing villages that punctuate the coast, and it’s often referred to as ‘Little Dubrovnik’ owing to its medieval walls and vibrant culture. Our hiking tours in Croatia take you on fascinating journeys of discovery through pretty pastures, olive groves and ancient villages, where you can learn more about the history of the island. Visit the oldest village on the island, Pupnat; walk in the footsteps of the Napoleon general, Marmont; and see the unusual rock formations at Kocje Nature Park.

Brac: Laying claim to being the largest island in central Dalmatia, Brac is a stunning destination that attracts more seasoned walkers and a less glamorous crowd than you’d find in Hvar. Brac is home to the tallest mountain on the Adriatic islands and its landscape comprises rugged coastal cliffs, pebbly beaches, vineyards and pine forests. If you’re planning on going walking in Croatia, Brac certainly offers some fabulous hiking trails, and you also have the opportunity to learn about its history too. The island has been inhabited since the Neolithic age and in the 10^th century it became a part of the Croatian kingdom of King Tomislav. The Brac Museum has a great collection of ethnographical remains and stones and is a great place for uncovering more of the island’s past.

Mljet: Shrouded in dense forests and lush landscapes, Mljet is one of the most enchanting islands you’ll visit on our Croatia walking holidays. Arrive at the island in style on a catamaran and head to the national park to discover the two impressive salt lakes of Veliko and Malo Jezero. The emerald waters are dazzling and are known for enticing swimmers in for a dip. in the centre of Veliko Jezero stands the islet Melita where a 12^th-century Benedictine monastery can be accessed by boat. Throughout the park you’ll find well-marked trails that wind among the island, or you can climb up into the hills that overlook the coast for some spectacular views.

Title: A fantastic week walking the beautiful Amalfi Coast!

Walking the Amalfi Coast was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The scenery was absolutely spectacular, with breathtaking coastal views, beautiful villages, wonderful walking trails and so many memorable moments along the way.

What really made the trip extra special was the group. We had such a lovely bunch of people, with a great atmosphere, plenty of laughs and wonderful company throughout the week.

A special mention must go to our leader, Veriano, who was absolutely brilliant. His knowledge, enthusiasm and passion for the area really brought the trip to life. He made sure everything ran smoothly and created such a wonderful experience for everyone. His warmth and personality made a real difference.

It was a perfect combination of fantastic walking, incredible scenery, delicious Italian food and great company. I thoroughly enjoyed every moment and would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to experience the magic of the Amalfi Coast.

A truly memorable holiday!

GRANT ROSSOUW Walking the Amalfi Coast

A great trip. Very busy and on the go most of the time but very enjoyable. A good mix of walking and fantastic opportunities to see wildlife. Our guide, Cloud, was very knowledgeable, calm and organised and a very good cook. The weather was much hotter than expected with drought in some areas. This made walking slower than expected and so we didn’t manage any optional additions to the walks. Accommodation was varied with electricity intermittent at times and water at a premium but very welcoming staff and great catering. We have both loved our trip.

Nepal is such an awe-inspiring country, and seeing the Himalayas up close really is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Reaching Annapurna Base Camp was an unforgettable moment, and the sense of achievement that my group and I felt when we finally made it was incredible.

Expect plenty of steps along the way, but the fantastic team on the ground made sure our enjoyment and safety were always the priority. The pacing of the trek was spot on, and each evening we looked forward to relaxing in the local teahouses and hearing our leader’s stories and jokes.

An amazing experience from start to finish, and one I’d highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly memorable adventure in Nepal!
