Additionally, you may like to combine the contrasting scenery between a bustling city and a coastal resort; simply ask our reservations team to help with your choice of two or multi centre trips. We can put together lots of different itineraries until you’re happy with the result, and the price!
Hotel only Before your holiday, you might be flying on a business trip or you might be meeting friends and family who live abroad. Whatever the reason, if any of your party wants to organise their own travel arrangements, we are happy to book the hotel accommodation only.

Welcome to Croatia
Crystal clear Adriatic waters and countless bays and beaches lure visitors to the magnificent Dalmatian coast stretching from Slovenia to Montenegro and enveloping more than one thousand Croatian islands en route. A country of natural beauty there are delightful pine woods, vineyards, ancient olive groves and lavender fields, the pink-hued Biokovo mountain range and the stunning lakes and waterfalls of
Krka and Plitvice Lakes national parks to explore, plus wonderful coasts of pebble, and sand, beaches for sunbathing, charming towns and pretty fishing villages to discover, numerous culturally significant UNESCO World Heritage to visit and delectable cuisine to savour. And Croatia can easily be twinned with both Slovenia and Montenegro.

and, during August, 30C is normal. Croatian cities are good all year round destinations although they’re less crowded in early autumn making this a lovely time to visit.
Cuisine The utmost compliment is paid by Italians visiting Croatia for fantastic seafood and excellent local wines. Coastal areas are heavily influenced by Mediterranean flavours and feature delicious seafood specialities prepared in a variety of ways; Ston oysters and mussels are considered some of the finest shellfish in the Adriatic, whilst Kvarner Bay boasts the best scampi. Istrian white truffles are world-renowned and Croatia also produces some noteworthy wines.
Blue Flag beaches More than 100 Croatian beaches enjoy blue flag status, many fringed by fragrant pines, and as they are mostly pebble and shingle the waters are clean and clear. Dubrovnik

Diving Croatia is a great dive destination with tremendous wrecks off the island of Vis, and fantastic diving at Rovinj and the famed Blue Grotto at Bisevo. Internationally recognised certificates are required for diving in Croatia although week long courses are available for beginners.
Festivals Countrywide there are many, many festivals, the best known of which is Dubrovnik’s twomonth Summer Festival and Croatia’s most celebrated cultural event, with theatre, ballet and music, from classical to pop. Cavtat boasts a 3-day folk extravaganza whilst Rovinj hosts a boisterous Salsa Festival towards the end of June and a vast 3 night open air party towards the end of August. For trendy young things there’s Outlook, Ultra Europe, Dimensions, Hideout and Unknown.

Welcome to Slovenia
A country of contrasts; Slovenia’s northern Austrian border boasts an unspoilt alpine region with majestic snow-clad peaks, eerily silent lakes, magical fairy-tale castles, magnificent valleys and river gorges, dense pine forests and delightful meadows, traditional villages and established spa resorts, whilst on the Adriatic coast there’s the beach resort of Portoroz with its
100 year old spa tradition. In between, the Slovenian Karst, famous for its Lippizaner horses, features 9,000 underground caverns including the famed Postojna and Skocjan caves, and Slovenia’s historic capital, Ljubljana, has a wonderful Old Town, vibrant nightlife, and plenty of culture. A member of the EU, Slovenia’s official currency is the euro.

Welcome to Montenegro
Small and beautiful, littlediscovered Montenegro enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate, a 300km long, picturesque Adriatic coastline with more than 100 wonderfully unspoilt beaches, a rugged mountainous interior, and a wealth of well-preserved historic walled towns, traditional villages and rural hamlets. Just south of Croatia, Montenegro has a rich history with the Greeks, Romans,
Byzantines and Ottoman Turks all leaving their mark, plus a distinctive Venetian influence in Budva, Herceg Novi and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kotor.

The best of both worlds
We tailor-make every Classic holiday and it’s easy for us to combine two or more contrasting areas of Croatia, Slovenia and Montenegro for you to enjoy. You could spend a few days in historic Dubrovnik either within the medieval walls or close by, and then move to a delightful coastal hotel up on the Makarska Riviera or further south across the
Montenegrin border in Becici, Budva or Tivat. We’ve highlighted a few two centre options, but don’t feel confined by our choices; you can combine any choice of hotels from this brochure, and even choose to twin them with our other destinations; Venice immediately springs to mind as a perfect two centre holiday option.

Time to relax
Relax, unwind and enjoy the luxury that one of our fantastic health and beauty clubs or spa centres can offer. You might like to indulge in a range of treatments, simply enjoy a massage or just take a soothing dip in a thalassotherapy pool, or why not experiment a little and discover rasul: a full body exfoliation treatment. The high quality hotels in this brochure offer a superb range of spa and beauty treatments and although
some hotels have been highlighted here, this is by no means an exhaustive list. Many of our featured hotels offer excellent health packages which can be booked either in resort or prebooked, and some offer complimentary spa circuits although these may be dependent upon a minimum holiday duration. For further details or to book a spa package, simply contact our reservations team.

There are markets and boutiques, a myriad of dining and nightlife opportunities around the POREC Stradun, whilst ROVINJ Mount Srd cable car offers great PULA views.

Cavtat Offering a more relaxed and slower pace of life than Dubrovnik, just 18km to the south, and a mere 30 minute taxi, or easy boat or bus ride away, Cavtat is a small pretty harbour town, situated on a wooded peninsula between two bays, boasting cobbled streets, traditional houses, churches, a monastery and a fortress. A wide, palmfringed seaside promenade provides a delightful setting for cafés, bars and many excellent restaurants, whilst the lovely pebble beach and clear waters are perfect for sun worshippers and watersports enthusiasts.

Orasac Orasac is a pretty village, a 25 minute drive north of Dubrovnik in a tranquil spot nestling at the foot of the pine-clad Vracevo Brdo (Sorcerer’s Hill) where life centres around a couple of restaurants and bars and relaxing days on the pebble beaches.
The island of Korcula is blessed with an abundance of vineyards, ancient olive groves and dense woods, as well as tranquil hamlets and traditional fishing villages. Along its north coast there are pretty bays with

pebble beaches, whilst the south features quiet coves and small sandy beaches with Luka Korculanska in Korcula Town especially popular with families, or Przina near Lumbarda. The island is the locally acclaimed birthplace of Marco Polo and boasts one of the Adriatic Coast’s best preserved medieval cities, stunning Korcula Town, with a magnificent 15th century cathedral boasting a painting by Tintoretto, marble alleyways lined with Renaissance and Gothic architecture and a tiny museum dedicated to Marco Polo.
Island of Sipan About a 50 minute ferry ride from Dubrovnik the largest of the Elaphiti Islands, Sipan, boasts an unspoilt lush landscape, and once favoured by the Dubrovnik aristocracy is home to numerous 16th century residences as well as over 30 churches. Popular with those seeking a peaceful and relaxing stay the island is sparsely populated with two settlements; charming Sipanska Luka is the main town and has a well protected harbour, sandy beach and palm-lined seafront, whilst Sudurad on the eastern coast is a small, sleepy fishing village where time appears to have stood still.

Tucepi
Makarska Riviera
Tucepi, Makarska & Islands of Brac & Hvar
featuring
The Makarska Riviera comprises coastal towns and villages backed by lush hillsides, and there are white pebble beaches shaded by fragrant pines, smart waterfront promenades and watersports aplenty, whilst the Dalmatian islands enjoy a rich historic heritage, scenic natural surroundings and genuine Croatian hospitality.
Hvar Town
On the Dalmatian coast along the Adriatic Highway and backed by the pink-hued Biokovo Mountain range, the resorts of the Makarska Riviera tumble down the lower slopes towards gently sloping beaches and crystal clear Adriatic waters. Easily accessible from the mainland, beautiful Brac is the largest of the Dalmatian islands and boasts the most famous beach in Croatia, the spectacular Zlatni rat. Hvar is blessed with vineyards, ancient olive groves, vast lavender fields, lovely beaches and bays, charming villages and a party atmosphere in Hvar Town during the summer.
Makarska In a large bay with a peninsula either side, and the Biokovo rising majestically behind, vibrant Makarska boasts a lovely seafront promenade overlooking a natural harbour area where ferries depart for nearby Brac, and a glorious shingle beach with shady pines. The promenade is lined with boutiques, restaurants, cafés and bars, and there are a couple of nightclubs built into natural caves along the waterfront. The pretty old town is made up of narrow cobbled streets and a 500 year old Franciscan Monastery, and in and around the town, there’s a tennis centre, a plethora of watersports, rafting on nearby Cetina river, and hiking in, and paragliding from, the Biokovo.

In a beautiful valley beneath majestic Biokovo, 4km south of Makarska, the pretty seaside town of Tucepi is surrounded by lush vegetation and boasts the longest white pebble beach in the area, delightfully shaded by scented pine trees and lapped by crystal clear Adriatic waters. It’s a stylish resort with some fine 18th century villas, a small marina, and restaurants and cafés lining the waterfront promenade. There are

boat trips from the marina, a tennis centre, watersports and walks along the coastal promenade, plus fantastic hiking and cycling in the Biokovo Nature Park.
Brac Island A short 50 minute ferry ride from Split lies Croatia’s third largest Adriatic island, the lovely Brac boasting the highest peak of the Croatian islands, Vidova Gora at 778m. The largest town and main ferry port Supetar on the north coast features a crescent shaped harbour, cobblestoned streets and romantic squares, pjacete, with numerous restaurants and traditional taverns serving delicious cuisine, plus some good pine fringed beaches and various sports centres. Just along the coast to the east is the charming fishing village of Postira with a selection of restaurants serving excellent fresh fish and tasty home made fare, as well as some secluded coves to discover. Picturesque and popular Bol, home to Croatia’s best known beach, the spectacular fine shingle Zlatni rat, or Golden Cape, sits just under the island’s highest mountain and offers visitors numerous historical sights, a busy harbour promenade, and for the active, mountain biking and fabulous walks in the surrounding hillside.

Sightseeing
Brac Island
Makarska Resorts along the Makarska Riviera are well placed for excursions to Dubrovnik, Split, the World Heritage town of Trogir, the picturesque Neretva Delta, and boat trips to Hvar and Brac. Biokovo, Dalmatia’s largest and highest mountain at 1762m, boasts spectacular views and the Biokovo Nature Park features interesting plant species, mouflon and deer, plus tiny rural hamlets and ancient remains.
Brac
Makarska
Hvar Island Queen of the Dalmatian Islands, beautiful Hvar, is favoured by wealthy Croatians and discerning Italians whose luxury yachts anchor off the coast to join the party goers during the summer months. It’s a 105 minute ferry journey from Split to the main port of Stari Grad, which set around a bay, is the oldest settlement on the island and a charming little town with a host of restaurants, bars and shops. Delightful Hvar Town is the real star of the island. Set amidst olive trees, vineyards, rosemary and wild lavender, there are palaces and churches and, lined with delightful cafés, restaurants and bars, the Riva, the central thoroughfare, leads from the picturesque harbour to 16th century St Stephen’s Cathedral and up to the Fortica Fortress. There is access to the sea from rocky shores or bathing platforms in the town, or for a day on a secluded pebble beach the nearby, pretty pine covered islands of Pakleni Otoci can easily be reached by regular taxi boats. We tailor-make all our holidays and can book flights from your local airport to Split.

Brac is famous for its stone industry and throughout the centuries the quarries near picturesque Pucisca have produced the beautiful white stone used in the construction of some rather prestigious buildings including Diocletan’s Palace in Split and the White House in Washington; visit the Stone Mason School for some wonderful exhibits. The delightful Lovrecina bay in the north of Brac is famed for its sandy beach fringed with fragrant pine trees providing natural shade. There’s a café and restaurant, and in addition, precious archaeological remains of a 5th and 6th century basilica sits just above the bay. From a simple cave sheltering two Glagolitic monks fleeing the Turkish invasion in the 16th century, to a flourishing monastery and an astronomic observatory, the unique Blaca Hermitage, with buildings cut into the rocks and home to historic treasures, is now preserved as a museum (the site can only be reached on a slightly challenging 45 minute walk).
Hvar Providing a magnificent backdrop to Hvar Town’s main square the Cathedral of St Stephen was built at the height of the Dalmatian Renaissance and boasts an elaborate four storey bell tower, whilst the15th century Franciscan monastery is famed for its magnificent painting of the Last Supper by Matteo Ingoli. Stunning views of Hvar Town, its surroundings and the Pakleni Islands can be enjoyed from the Fortica Fortress vantage point high above the town and the beautiful Pakleni islands with their lovely pebble beaches can be reached by regular taxi boat from the town.

Podstrana, Omis & Sibenik
Boasting Croatia’s second city, Split, and with cultural and historical sites aplenty, the northern and central Dalmatian regions also enjoy a fantastic coastline and hundreds of delightful islands to explore whilst inland, the outstanding scenery includes gorges, waterfalls and delightful lakes.
Split
The northern and central Dalmatia regions boast numerous culturally significant UNESCO World Heritage sites, the interior is filled with outstanding scenery and the river Krka and its national park features gorges and waterfalls rivalling the region’s beautiful Plitvice Lakes. Lapped by the Adriatic’s clear waters, the coastline is punctuated by historic towns and pretty fishing ports and there’s a plethora of easily accessible islands including Brac and Hvar, and the striking Kornati Archipelago, a national park made up of more than 150 reefs, islets and rocky islands. The islands of Brac and Hvar are especially great for a two centre holiday with Split.

Omis
Founded in AD295 on the Adriatic’s shores by Roman emperor Diocletian, Croatia’s second city, Split, has a sprawling centre with its core housed within the protective walls of the two thousand year old Diocletian’s Palace; a UNESCO World Heritage site simply bursting with historic monuments, chic bars, sophisticated cafés and elegant boutiques. Also encircled by the walls is majestic Cathedral of St Domnius whose belfry affords magnificent views over the city, and a colonnaded sunken square called the Peristyle; itself home to a delightful café. Split is a modern, thriving port, renowned for its vibrant nightlife especially at the waterfront bars and clubs, and during July and August the celebrated Split Summer Festival features a wonderful music, opera and theatre programme. The pedestrianised seafront boulevard, the Riva, is lined with pavement cafés, and beaches in the area include the sandy Bacvice and the pebbled Kasjuni.
Backed by the majestic Biokovo mountains, the pleasant market town of Omis is an ideal base from which to explore the Cetina Gorge where hiking, mountaineering and rafting on the river are popular pastimes. The town’s well-preserved 16th century fortress affords spectacular views from its hilltop vantage and the main beach is long and partly sandy with shallow waters and a selection of watersports.
Sibenik Established around the 10th century, Sibenik enjoys a rich culture and historical heritage with four fortresses and numerous palaces, monasteries and churches, including the UNESCO World Heritage listed Cathedral of St James.
Podstrana
Classic Concierge
Within the greater Split metropolis is the coastal resort of Podstrana where the main draw for local and international visitors is its delightful pine fringed beaches.

Plitvice Lakes National Park Nestled in dense forest, Plitvice Lakes are arguably one of the world’s most beautiful natural phenomena and, not surprisingly, boast UNESCO World Natural Heritage status for their stunning scenery, huge varieties of flora and fauna, hidden caves and a total of sixteen travertine-style lakes connected by spectacular waterfalls.

Comfortable guest rooms and suites are modern and pleasantly furnished, and spacious family rooms are available. A buffet breakfast is served each morning and the restaurant offers traditional Croatian dishes as well as international cuisine, with freshly caught river trout a speciality and delicious pizzas prepared in the wood-fired oven. The panoramic terrace is a lovely spot for a mid morning coffee, light meal or a cocktail.

It features sixteen lakes interconnected by stunning waterfalls along an 8km stretch and there’s a tremendous variety of flora and fauna in the grasslands and in the deep beech, fir and spruce forests that surround the lakes. Each season is beautiful with flower filled meadows in the spring, lush greenery in summer, wonderful rich red hues in the autumn and, during the winter months, there’s a magical landscape shrouded with ice and snow.
Flora & fauna There’s much diversity with lynx, wolf, deer, boar, otter, bats and more than 120 bird species, plus the iconic brown bear. The park is also home to an abundant variety of plants with rare and protected species including some interesting carnivorous plants, orchids, moss and fresh-water algae.
Upper & lower lakes The confluence of several streams and rivers carving their way through limestone and chalk have, over the millennia, created this fantastic area of lakes, caves and waterfalls by the build-up of travertine barriers and
natural dams and, as the weathering process continues, there’s an ever evolving landscape. The lakes are renowned for their beautiful and distinct colour ranges, from azure to green, grey, and dark blue, and are divided into an upper and lower system. The lower four lake area is set in a limestone canyon with impressive 40m cliffs and boasts the park’s tallest waterfall, Veliki Slap, with a drop of 78m. The upper lakes, surrounded by wilder landscapes, contain the two largest, Kozjak, with its constant colour changes, and Proscansko, the highest, deepest and most remote lake of all.

Becici beach
Montenegro Boasting beautiful beaches along its stunning coastline, Montenegro’s beauty ranges from verdant pine-clad mountains, to clear glacial lakes, and crystal clear Adriatic waters lapping against historic walled coastal towns, and is perfectly placed for two centre holidays with Dubrovnik.
Budva old town
A small but immensely beautiful European country, little-discovered Montenegro enjoys a mild Mediterranean climate with over 200 sunny days a year, a 300km long, picturesque Adriatic coastline with more than 100 wonderfully unspoilt beaches, a rugged mountainous interior, and a wealth of wellpreserved historic walled towns, traditional villages and rural hamlets. Just south of Croatia, Montenegro, or Crna Gora (Black Mountain), as it is known locally, has a rich history with the Greeks, Romans, Byzantines and Ottoman Turks all leaving their mark, plus a distinctive Venetian influence in Budva, Herceg Novi and the UNESCO listed Kotor.

BECICI
Lake Skadar
Becici The Budva Riviera features some of the Adriatic coastline’s finest wide sandy bays and tranquil, hidden coves including that at Becici which is justifiably proud of its 1935 Grand Prix title: Europe’s most beautiful beach. With its backdrop of verdant, treeclad mountains, this long swathe of golden sand and pebbles is bordered by a picturesque promenade lined with restaurants, leading to the walled town of Budva, a 20 minute stroll away. At the other end of the promenade, linked by a strip of pink sand, lies tiny St Stephen Island (Sveti Stefan), much revered by holidaying glitterati and, along the coast to the south and merging into modern Becici, is the charming resort of Rafailovici. There are watersports available, a waterpark and, for nightlife, head to vibrant Budva.
Budva Enclosed by medieval fortifications, Budva has always gained favour with the rich and famous and there are chic cocktail bars, sophisticated restaurants, and trendy nightclubs around its marina. The Old Town, set on a small peninsula, surrounded by 15th century ramparts, features historic
www.classic-collection.co.uk I freephone 0800 008 7288 or 0800 820 3113
monuments, Venetian style buildings and piazzas and narrow cobbled streets filled with galleries and cafés. In summer, Budva becomes an open air stage hosting numerous theatre and music festivals.
The sights Montenegro boasts a wealth of sights and historic attractions including UNESCO listed Kotor; a spectacular fjord-like bay, which features Venetian architecture, a 17th century clock tower, museums and 12th century St Triphun Cathedral. In Boka Bay, Perast is a beautiful old town with frequent taxi boat transfers to Gospa od Skrpjela, a picturesque little island with an amazing church and museum. Just 20 minutes’ drive from the coast in its own beautiful national park, Lake Skadar, is the largest expanse of water in the Balkans, whilst breathtaking Durmitor national park is set along the Tara river canyon and features one of the deepest gorges in Europe.
