Itinerary
Salt, Stone & Story: A Croatian Journey
September 5 – 12, 2026 | 8 Days
With Maria Emmerich
Day 1 – Dubrovnik
Welcome to the Pearl of the Adriatic
Dobrodošli! Your Croatian journey begins in Dubrovnik, where terracotta rooftops meet the sparkling sea. After your private airport transfer, check into your boutique hotel and settle into this stunning walled city. Tonight, we’ll gather for a celebratory welcome dinner at one of our favorite local restaurants — a first taste of the flavors and friendships to come. (D)*
Day 2 – Dubrovnik
Wander Where Legends Were Born
Step through ancient gates and into the storybook world of Dubrovnik’s Old Town — a living museum of stone and sun. With your expert guide by your side, explore cobbled alleys, majestic piazzas, and the city’s iconic walls. Venetian flair, Roman roots, and centuries of stories unfold as we walk. (B)*
Day 3 – Dubrovnik
A Taste of Tradition in the Konavle Countryside
Leave the city behind and journey into the heart of Konavle — where stone houses, olive groves, and timeless traditions still shape daily life. Upon arrival in the village of Lovorno, you’ll be welcomed by a local family. We’ll gather fresh ingredients from the garden and step into their kitchen for a joyful, hands-on cooking experience. As a special touch, Maria Emmerich will share one of her favorite nourishing recipes — a blend of wellness and Croatian soul. (B,L)*
Day 4 – Hvar
Island Elegance & Adriatic Charm
Travel up the coast to the sun-kissed island of Hvar. Known for its lavender fields, Venetian architecture, and lively harbor, Hvar invites you to slow down and savor the moment. Take the afternoon to stroll the elegant piazzas, sip an espresso in the square, or simply breathe in the beauty. (B)*
Day 5 – Hvar
A Day to Drift, Discover, or Do Nothing at All
Today is yours to enjoy Hvar your way — whether that means quiet moments by the sea or chasing the island’s golden light. Swim in the clear waters of Dubovica Beach, lounge in style at Bonj "Les Bains" Beach Club, or toast the sunset at Hula Hula Beach Bar. Need ideas? Giuliana and Maria will be happy to share their favorite local spots. (B)*
Day 6 – Split
Where Roman Stones Meet Seaside Soul
Board a hydrofoil to Split, Croatia’s coastal gem where ancient history and modern life intertwine. With your guide, wander through the awe-inspiring Diocletian’s Palace — a 4th-century marvel still pulsing with life. Explore hidden courtyards, winding alleys, and seaside cafés where the past feels close enough to touch. (B)*
Day 7 – Krka Waterfalls & Farewell Dinner
Nature’s Symphony, Croatia’s Heartbeat
Venture to Krka National Park — a sanctuary of emerald pools, wooden walkways, and cascading waterfalls. This evening, we’ll gather one last time for a farewell dinner — to raise a glass, share a laugh, and toast the magic we’ve made together. (B & D)*
Day 8 – Split
Doviđenja, Croatia
Your private transfer awaits. Savor one final Croatian coffee, take one last stroll by the sea, and say farewell — for now. (B)*
