Fly-drive Holidays

Plitvice National Park - waterfalls

Croatia's 1100 miles of coastline is stunning in itself but the myriad of islands and islets along its length (over 1000) add to its beauty as well as offering extra places to stay or visit as part of a holiday to Croatia. The outstanding scenery of the Dalmatian Coast is not the only jewel in the crown, there is a mountainous interior to explore including the Plitvice National Park (one of our favourite places, full of waterfalls and lakes), the Venetian towns of Istria, the cosmopolitan and vibrant capital - Zagreb, and numerous excursions by boat or across the borders into Bosnia, Slovenija and Montenegro.

Croatia's magical scenery and legendary hospitality are unquestionably real, as you'll confirm when you have explored the country, still waiting to be rediscovered. We offer our knowledge and experience of Croatia and its neighbours to assist your holiday planning and together we can arrange your perfect itinerary. Below are links to some "classic" fly-drive holiday itineraries as well as some longer and more individual ones as examples of what can be arranged with our assistance and local knowledge.

Some of the most requested places to stay on fly-drive holidays are - Zagreb, Plitvice National Park, Zadar, Rovinj on the Istrian Peninsular, Trogir, Dubrovnik and the islands of Brac, Hvar and Korcula. We can arrange for any combination of these locations (and many others) in hotels to suit your budget and taste. Hotels in Croatia range from approximately £25 per person per night up to over £100 pppn and [one-way] car hire is available from as little as £ 32 per day fully-inclusive of all taxes and charges. We will also advise on driving times, places of interest along your route and, quite importantly, up-to-date ferry timetables.

ALL FLY-DRIVE HOLIDAYS INCLUDE A FREE COPY OF OUR REDISCOVER THE WORLD GUIDE BOOK TO CROATIA.

NB: All our holidays are tailor-made; the fly-drive itineraries on our web site are well trusted examples but we are happy to arrange any reasonable schedule.

Flights are possible into Croatia from all over the UK, although many are charter flights and offer only fixed departures, i.e. for 7 or 14 nights. If you want more flexibility on duration as well as open-jaw itineraries then we can arrange flights with BA, Croatian Airways, Easy Jet, Thomson Fly, Ryan Air, Wizz Air and Jet 2 to suit most requirements.

Private English-Speaking Driver Service:

If you would prefer not to drive or wish to enjoy the scenery as you pass through this fantastic country then we can offer you a private driver at a flat rate per day (this charge does not include food and lodgings; we would pre-book your driver on the same itinerary and board basis as you and include this cost in your quote). The driver will be English-speaking and will be able to assist with any local sightseeing, e.g. arranging a local, official guide for historic monuments, etc. (Entrance fees to National Monuments and local guide charges apply in some places). You would need to bear in mind the size of your party (with luggage) plus the driver when choosing a suitable rental vehicle and, of course, you would be responsible for payment of fuel as usual.
