Itinerary
2 Nights Zagreb
2 Nights Croatian Lakes
3 Nights Split
4 Nights Korčula (other island options available)
3 Nights Dubrovnik
UK- Zagreb (2 Nights): You’ll fly direct to the charming city of Zagreb, where we’ll transfer you straight to your chosen hotel. An era gone by as much as it is a European capital, Zagreb is a cultural melting pot of Austro-Hungarian architecture, red-roofed beauty and easygoing bustle. Nowhere else will you find a city with 20 farmer’s markets and more museums per square metre than anywhere on earth, all in the humbling shadow of Gothic cathedrals and sundrenched medieval cobbles. The Gornji Grad Upper Town showcases St. Mark’s Church, the shrine-dedicated Old Town Gate and a splash of quirk from the Museum of Broken Relationships. Wander the Donji Grad Lower Town for lush greenery, settle into Tkalčićeva Street’s cosy restaurants and admire the Meštrović sculptures dotting squares and pavilion galleries.
Zagreb- Croatian Lakes (2 Nights): For unparallelled natural beauty, you’ll head by bus or private transfer to the Plitviče Lakes National Park, where 16 terraced lakes stagger hidden waterfalls, limestone canyons and woodland deer. You’re here to soak up nature at its finest, from the rich vegetation, to the rare bird species. Hike to your heart’s content, knowing you can return to comfort (or luxury) with your chosen hotel. Take in emerald greens, azure-blue waters and all the fresh air in the world.
Croatian Lakes- Split (3 Nights): Replacing gushing waterfalls with Split’s “historical hip”, you’ll head south by bus or private transfer to Croatia’s second-largest city. Up-and-coming bars and boutiques here fill colourful squares between the 4th-century Diocletian’s Palace and St. Duje’s Cathedral, but Split is a city with a pulse. Fashion-forward and award-winning dining scenes fuse beautifully over the Adriatic’s scenic waters, and they’re great for bathing on the happening Bačvice Beach. Wander the Riva promenade, peruse the medieval Varoš district and bar hop around the buzzing spots surrounding palatial squares.
Split- Korčula (4 Nights): Korčula is just one of the Adriatic’s tranquil and postcard-perfect islands. You can choose from others for this part of your holiday, where a ferry from Split will transfer you for 4 nights of traditional charm and secluded cove beaches. Gentle, lapping waters here are crystal clear and horizons are uninterrupted. The Old Town’s peninsula setting forms neatly lined, red-roofed houses, circular fortress stone and a shrouding of mystery- many claim that Marco Polo was born here. By day, ancient stone alleys circle around the majestic St Mark’s Cathedral. Sunsets over the Vela Luka harbour are spectacular, and Moreška dancers come alive in evenings. Make room for the Žrnovski Makaruni pasta- it’s hand-made.
Korčula- Dubrovnik (3 Nights): Returning to the mainland by ferry, you’ll head to Dubrovnik for the picturesque-yet-happening allure of this beautiful walled city. In fact, you can tour the 13th-century walls on foot in just over a mile. Lose yourself in the limestone walkways dividing the Sponza and Rector’s palaces, and really soak in this city’s well-earned “Pearl of the Adriatic” nickname. Cable cars to Mount Srd offer stunning views across Gothic church spires and bell towers, but remember, Dubrovnik isn’t just a feast for the eyes. The dining and entertainment scenes are some of the finest in Europe. Add on the beach clubs overlooking turquoise waters, and Dubrovnik is saying one thing: “What more could you ask for?”
Dubrovnik- UK: We’ll be there to meet you on your departure day to ensure your direct flight back to the UK goes smoothly.

As always, Chris was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He gave me good advice on my travel plans and booked the holiday on my behalf. I've used eshores a number of times, and will continue to do so.

We haven’t been on our trip yet but based purely on the experience of booking the trip we are pleased with the result. It started with a bit of a hiccup as we spoke to a member of staff who never came back to us but when we reached back out again we were placed in the hands of Andy who has helped us book a 2 week trip to India including the golden triangle and then a few days on the beach. Andy was very patient with us with our changes to our tailor made holiday, even when we asked him to explore different areas only to revert back to the original plan. He also recommended moving the holiday back one week which created a saving of over £700 which meant we could upgrade the room for our beach stay in Goa. Andy was also available on weekends if we wanted to speak and regularly picked up the phone as opposed to keeping it to purely email dialogue. Hopefully the holiday will be amazing but based on the booking experience I would recommend eShores if you’re looking to book a tailor made holiday

We have booked two big holidays this year for a group of 8 and a group of 10, Rachel has coordinated our holidays with the utmost excellence, during the consultation we changed countires hotels and even flights but it did not phase Rachel one bit. Exceeds customer expectations by helping advising and supporting throughout the holiday. We are off to Thailand and Dubai in August and then followed by India and Thailand in November, I have rang emailed Rachel many times during the booking and I got very prompt responses even on her days off. Rachel is a credit to EShores and EShores is setting standards regarding customer focus.

I can’t praise Lynette at EShores enough. She has organised my trips perfectly to the point that I wouldn’t use anyone else. She listens to what I want or to the problem I have and comes up with a solution. Nothing is too much trouble. Try them out yourselves and I bet you become a repeater too!
