Croatia and Albania, Zagreb to Tirana
Adriatic walled cities, Krka waterfalls, Diocletian's Palace, and the Bay of Kotor.
About This Journey
A full run down the Adriatic coast and across two borders, starting in Zagreb and finishing in Tirana. The route takes in the Sea Organ at Zadar, the waterfalls of Krka National Park, the Roman core of Split inside Diocletian's Palace, and two nights behind the walls of Dubrovnik.
The final leg crosses Montenegro with a stop at Kotor before reaching Albania. Hotels are four-star throughout, intercity legs run by luxury coach, and each major stop includes a guided walking tour. A welcome dinner opens the trip and a farewell dinner closes it.
