Day	Itinerary	Night stop
1	Dubrovnik	Dubrovnik
	With its steep cobbled streets, stunning architecture and paved squares, the Jewel of the Dalmatian Coast bursts with fascinating history. Post-war restoration work has been extensive, and the views from the city walls - over terracotta roofs and out to the sparkling sea - are spectacular. There is plenty of time to uncover the hidden treasures of the Old Town or perhaps take a boat ride to the island of Lokrum, where it is said that Richard the Lionheart was once shipwrecked. These days, Lokrum is the perfect place to sunbathe and swim.
2	As per day 1
3	Korcula	Korcula
	Travel to Korcula by ferry and stay in simple accommodation with welcoming local hosts. With its pristine forests, tranquil inlets and character-filled vineyards, the residents are justifiably proud of their island home. Try traditional delicacies at a local farm and wash them down with travarica, a grappa-like drink, followed by the island's famous cakes for dessert. There is plenty of time here to shop, swim or just soak up the charming ambience.
4	As per day 3
5	Split	Split
	The site of Emperor Diocletian's well-preserved palace, bustling Split is the soul of Dalmatia. Dynamic and vibrant, this World Heritage-listed town is easy to see on foot, so spend some time out and about discovering its golden past. Visit the archaeological museum for a history lesson, wander into the palace's basements to bargain with the locals for handmade jewellery or just kick back with a coffee near the airy peristyle.

Staff

All operator group trips are accompanied by one of our group leaders. The aim of the group leader is to take the hassle out of your travels and help you have the best trip possible. operator endeavours to provide the services of an experienced leader however, due to the seasonality of travel, situations may arise where your leader is new to a particular region or training other group leaders. Your leader will provide information on the places you are travelling through, offer suggestions for things to do and see and recommend eating venues. You can expect your leader to have a general knowledge of the countries visited on the trip, including historical, cultural, religious and social aspects. At operator we aim to support local guides who have specialised knowledge of the regions we visit - and who better to hear it from than the locals themselves? If you were interested in delving deeper into the local culture then your leader can recommend a local guide service in the most of the main destinations of your trip.

What To Bring

What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style you have chosen, the countries you are visiting and when you are travelling. Generally speaking though, you should pack as lightly as possible. On the vast majority of our trips you are expected to carry your own luggage (please see below for exceptions), and though you will not be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes) we recommend keeping the weight under 10kg/22lb.

Suitcases are not recommended for operatorlers! Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags with wheels are acceptable, although we recommend your bag has carry straps as well, as you may be required to negotiate bus and railway station steps. You will also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day walks and day trips.

The sale of bottled water contributes to an enormous environmental problem around the world. In addition to the water in bottles, the production of a 1 litre plastic bottle takes 2 litres of water and 200ml of oil. A large proportion end up in limited landfill or discarded in waterways and natural environments. Please avoid the purchase of bottled water by refilling from the tap or from drinking water dispensers which are provided at some of our accommodation.
