About this trip
Fifteen days through Croatia and the wider Balkans, travelling overland by coach with a guide throughout. The route takes in Adriatic coastline, old towns, and countryside that's still relatively undiscovered by mass tourism.
It's a mix of city and culture stops alongside proper outdoor time — kayaking and hiking are both built into the itinerary, so you're not just moving between monuments.
What you'll do
- Kayak sections of the Adriatic coast
- Hike through Balkan countryside
- Explore historic towns and villages along the route
- Visit ancient monuments and archaeological sites
- Travel overland by coach across multiple countries
- Fully guided throughout, with a private room each night
- Coach-based trip, so you cover ground overland between stops
- Pace combines city sightseeing with active days — worth being reasonably fit for the hiking and kayaking
Worth it if you're genuinely interested in Balkans history and group logistics. Think twice if you need hotels within walking distance of city centres or prefer packed itineraries.
- Guides (Szebastian, Karin, Ivan, Adin) consistently excellent: knowledgeable, attentive, helpful with suggestions.
- Sarajevo, Kotor, and Dubrovnik's history and architecture genuinely moving; peaceful coexistence of multiple faiths remarkable.
- Hotels often located blocks from city centres; luggage hauling required. Split and some others too far from old towns.
- Early starts and ferry timings favour operator schedule; some days (boating in Hvar, afternoon Dubrovnik ferry) waste daylight.
