Adriatic Riviera & Plitvice

From Ljubljana we head south through the wine growing area of Bela Krajina, "White March" of south-eastern Slovenia.

Bela Krajina gets its name from its endless droves of birch trees and as such, driving through the region is pure joy. Our drive will end at Plitvice National Park, a natural icon and listed UNESCO World Natural Heritage site. We will spend the afternoon on an 18km adventure across wooden footbridges while taking in the park's 16 lakes, wildlife, and many other stunning natural attractions.

Our driving tour will head southeast as we drive past the historic town of Knin, continuing to Imotski, known for its magical Blue and Red Lakes, connected to the Adriatic Sea through a series of subterranean channels.

In the afternoon, we will arrive at 'the city among the vineyards', Mostar. Founded by the Turks in the 15th Century Mostar boasts an ancient stone bridge that is now one of the world's most famously photographed World Heritage-listed sites. In the evening, we will explore the Old Ottoman quarter and meet its many artisanal heroes before sitting down to a delicious feast.

On day three, our convertible driving adventure will take us to the famous walled city of Dubrovnik.

During our journey, the panoramic Bosnian landscape will make for a memorable lunch stop. We will sit together and taste a mix of popular Bosnian dishes before driving onto Dubrovnik. Based in the heart of Southern Dalmatia, Dubrovnik is rife with rich vegetation, stunning lakes, captivating islands, idyllic pebble beaches and crystal clear sea - pure paradise.

On day four, a pitstop in paradise awaits. Take a stroll on Dubrovnik's thick stone walls and soak up the atmosphere from a café on Placa, and explore the maze of marble-paved squares and climbing cobbled streets.

If you're enticed by the Adriatic islands, you can enjoy a full-day boat trip to Mljet island, a stunning destination which is home to a Benedictine monastery. Or, if you feel like a drive, Montenegro isn't far, and it makes for a scenic cruise. Whatever you decide to do, you will have a day to remember - enjoy.

In the morning, we will depart Dubrovnik and cruise the scenic coastal road to the northwest. Along the way, you can stop in Mali Ston, famous for its defensive wall and exquisite seafood.

A short ferry ride will take us to Hvar Island, where we'll drive the most meandering road of the entire trip. Named the "Croatian Medeira", Hvar enjoys more sunshine each year than any other place in Croatia. Green, scenic, lively, hospitable, and boasting plenty of incredible bars and seafood restaurants, Hvar is nothing short of incredible.

We will start the day with a hearty breakfast before getting a ferry back to the mainland.

Next, we will cruise by the stunning islands of Brac and Solta and pass through Split, famous for Diocletian's Palace. Venturing further north, we will stop in the historic towns of Trogir, Primosten or Sibenik. Finally, we will reach Zadar - an ancient city with a rich cultural heritage and little something to offer everyone.

Our seaside roller coaster like drive will continue as we wind along a narrow strip of land framed by epic mountain tops and rugged coastline.

The scenery here is awe-inspiring, with the Adriatic Sea on one side and the dramatic Velebit mountain range on the other - a sight that will linger in the memory for years to come. Driving through the pristine forests of Lika, we'll cruise back to Slovenia before reaching Ljubljana in the afternoon. During your last night in Ljubljana, you will have the chance to eat, drink, and reflect on the adventure of a lifetime.

In the morning you can enjoy the old part of the city. Take time to explore its colourful market and the charming, narrow streets that line the right bank of the Ljubljanica River, with medieval bridges that are reminiscent of Prague - but, without the crowds.

Depending on the time of your return flight, you might have time to ascend the staircase to Ljubljana Castle's 16th-Century fortification before heading to the airport. The adventure of a lifetime.
