About this trip

Eight days across Slovenia and Croatia, taking in caves, lakes and coastline without rushing between them.

You'll move between a handful of well-known spots — from the underground passages at Postojna to the still waters of Bled and Plitvice — with time built in to just look around rather than tick boxes.

Istria rounds things off with some proper regional food, so there's a mix of nature and local flavour rather than one long sightseeing list.

What you'll do

  • Explore the cave system at Postojna
  • See Lake Bled
  • Walk through Plitvice Lakes National Park
  • Taste local food and wine in Istria
Good to know
  • Rated easy, so this suits a relaxed pace rather than a physical challenge
  • Partially guided — some sections you'll explore with a leader, others on your own
  • Billed as family-friendly, so expect a broad mix of ages in the group
