Croatian Islands Walking Tour Itinerary

Day 1 Arrival in Split

Arrive in Croatia’s second-largest city and transfer to your accommodations. Although this is not a guided tour, you’ll still meet with a tour representative today who will brief you on the route ahead.

Day 2 Explorations in Brač

After a delicious breakfast, make your way to the port for a catamaran ferry to Brač Island. Land in the town of Bol and set off on your day’s adventures. Brač is the largest island in Dalmatia, without the tourist numbers found on some of its neighbours.

The highlight of today’s hike is the summit of Vidova Gora. At 780m above sea level, this is the highest peak in all the Adriatic Islands!

Day 3 South to Hvar

After today’s breakfast and check-out, hop in a provided taxi for a transfer to Milna, perched on the island’s west coast. From here, another catamaran ferry takes you south to the celebrated island of Hvar.

You’ll arrive in Hvar town, which offers plenty to enjoy. An excellent coastal walking trail runs from the town to Milna (Hvar’s version) and back. Enjoy the beaches and glittering waters at every turn.

Day 4 Villages & Beaches

Today promises a full day of exploration around the island of Hvar. Set off from your accommodations on a trail leading up through the central terrain. Visit the village of Brusje, exhibiting a more authentic Croatian heritage than most of the popular resort towns display.

Continue to the abandoned town of Malo Grablje. Its stone houses stand empty, with all its inhabitants leaving for the coast to find work in the 1960s. Finally, you’ll arrive at Dubovica Beach – one of Croatia’s most beautiful. Enjoy some time to relax and swim here before a pre-arranged transfer brings you back to Hvar town.

Day 5 Summiting Sveti Ilija

Bid adieu to Hvar and board a catamaran for the crossing to Korčula Island. Upon arriving in the port town of the same name, transfer to a second ferry for a twenty-minute trip over Pelješac, where your day’s hike awaits. This peninsula is actually connected to the mainland, with plenty of interesting terrain to explore.

Set off on a quest to conquer Sveti Ilija, the highest peak on the peninsula. The views from the top are nothing short of breathtaking! After descending, hop on the ferry back to Korčula for your overnight.

Upon completion of your Mljet adventures, return to port and take the catamaran ferry back to Korčula for your final night on the tour.
