Day 2 Dubrovnik
Our walk gives us headland views of the sea and then the red roofed town of Cavtat. This afternoon we walk along the city walls completely surrounding Dubrovnik, then explore the squares and tiny streets before returning to our hotel.

Day 3 Mali Ston
A morning boat trip takes us to explore Lopud, one of the many islands known as the Elaphites, which crowd the sea between Dubrovnik and the Peljesac peninsula. Our launch returns us to the mainland and we continue to our hotel in Mali Ston, a sleepy village of old stone houses pressed within its walls, where the oyster beds are marked by wooden poles. Take time to enjoy your hotel, facing the little harbor.

Day 4 Postira
A short walk brings us to Ston, where many of the ancient salt pans are still in operation. The strategic importance of Ston resulted in impressive fortifications built in dramatic fashion on the hillside above the town's narrow streets. After walking on the walls, we head off to Makarska, a seaside town where a ferry takes us to Brac, the third largest of Croatia's islands, with its enchanting harbor villages reminiscent of a bygone Mediterranean. The famous milk-white marble, used for the construction of the White House in Washington D.C. can be seen in many of the island's buildings. Our afternoon's walk begins from Skrip, the oldest settlement on Brac, through small fields, olive groves and vineyards, enjoying views to the Biokove mountains on the mainland, to our hotel overlooking the harbor.

Days 5 Postira
We walk to Supetar and relax by the busy harbor before heading inland to hike the labyrinth of stone-lined tracks, a lovely feature of this island. Enjoy extensive views toward the terraced ridges of the Mosor Massif and distant Split on the mainland, as we follow our path down to Sutivan. This sleepy village has a calm, peaceful little harbor - ideal for a leisurely lunch before continuing along the seashore to complete our circular walk to Supetar and our hotel.

Day 6 Postira
We drive across the island to the coastal village of Bol tucked beneath a dramatic ridge overlooking this stretch of coast. We wander through narrow lanes and shop at the village market before a spectacular walk with views of the Adriatic and distant islands. Fish caught that day are offered for lunch, served on a sheltered terrace overlooking the sea. A private boat collects us for the return journey to our hotel.

Day 7 Split
The morning ferry takes us to Split, a vibrant city with at its heart a former palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian. We begin our visit of the Old Town from the waterfront and marvel at the warren of houses, tenements, churches and chapels that the Palace has become. From its subterranean halls to the splendid cathedral we discover small squares and passages interlocking with other mysterious parts of the Palace. Later we join the passeggiata on the Riva, where the locals congregate to meander and gossip, before our Farewell Dinner.

Day 8
We return to Split Airport for our onward journeys.
