Explore medieval towns, dine on delicious local food and snorkel in clear waters from the luxury of a small cruise ship on a trip around Croatia, one writer discovered
Croatia has so much to offer, from stunning cities to gorgeous islands for soaking up the sun and swimming in crystal clear waters; and we discovered that the best way to experience this variety – while living like a celebrity – is aboard a small luxury cruiser.
Life on board a Cruise Croatia ship The week is structured, but we never felt like we were being herded around, and our tour director Marko was always on hand to look after our every need and make sure everything ran smoothly. Lunch was eaten together on board and by late afternoon we reached that night’s stop, just as all the other tourists from bigger ships were leaving.
Trogir We loved exploring the narrow streets of this UNESCO-protected medieval town at our leisure. One of the oldest settlements in Croatia, it’s on a tiny island accessible by bridges. Take the steep climb up the bell tower of the Cathedral of San Lorenzo for the most spectacular views over the rooftops to the sea.
Korcula This island’s beautiful Old Town is built on a fish bone-style grid protecting it from harsh winter winds and creating cooling breezes. Sir Fitzroy Maclean saved it from being bombed in the Second World War and his family still own a property here. The city walls have fabulous restaurants, and there’s even a bar accessible only by a stepladder.
