Day 1 : Dubrovnik, City Tour
Location: Dubrovnik
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Lunch

All board, it’s time to set sail on 8-day Croatia sailing adventure! At 1:00pm meet your tour leader, crew and group on board your boat in the Dubrovnik Harbour. After enjoying our first lunch together on board, we will head off to explore Dubrovnik on a guided tour. The walled city of Dubrovnik is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wander along the 2km walls and see epic views of the Adriatic. Spend your free afternoon strolling through Old Town’s marble streets or swim at the beach and enjoy a cold beer.

Day 2 : Mljet
Location: Mljet
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Time to say goodbye to Dubrovnik and cruise down the coast to the forest-covered island of Mljet to see its stunning national park and big salt-water lakes. The salt-water lakes were formed about 10 000 years ago and were originally freshwater lakes until the Benedictine Monks dug out a channel to sea. You can still find their medieval monastery on the island of St. Mary in the middle of Veliko Jezero (Big Lake). Spend the afternoon visiting the lakes, go swimming, kayaking, or cycling around the island. In the evening, it’s our famous on-board ‘Pirate Party’ with a delicious BBQ and traditional Croatian cuisine. We’ll play games and “P-aaarrrr-ty” the night away! Time to shake ye booty!

Day 3 : Korcula
Location: Korčula
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Today we sail to Lumbarda Beach for some swimming, sun baking or water-sports. Afterwards we continue to Korcula, a town blessed with indented coves, rolling hills and a walled old town that looks like a miniature Dubrovnik. After an orientation walk, the afternoon is free for you to do as you please. You could also spend the afternoon checking out the markets or enjoy a cold drink in a bar located at the top of the old city tower for some phenomenal views.

Day 4 : Hvar
Location: Hvar
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

It’s time to say goodbye to Korcula and set sail for Hvar — one of the sunniest islands in the Adriatic and one well-known for its pumping nightlife, gorgeous beaches and celebrity hot-spot. After an orientation walk of Hvar, we can sample the fresh cuisine in the numerous restaurants then get ready to party at the local bars and clubs.

Day 5 : Makarska
Location: Makarska
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

This morning we will stop at hidden bays to go swimming, before we depart for the popular mainland resort town of Makarska — a town with a stunning backdrop courtesy of the Biokovo mountain range. We have will have a brief orientation walk, and then you’ve got the afternoon free to lie on the beautiful stretches of beach or do some water sports. There are loads of cafés, bars and restaurants that line the coastline. At night, get ready to party in a cave!

Day 6 : Omis
Location: Omiš
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Feeling a little under the weather from last nights antics? Don’t worry you’ve got ample time to relax and go for a swim before we sail to Omis, which has rich and turbulent history of pirates. Omis is located at the mouth of the Cetina River and is surrounded by massive gorges which is perfect for white-water rafting!

Day 7 : Split
Location: Split
Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat
Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

It’s another day in paradise as we sail further along the coast and stop for swimming and a lunch along one of the amazing coastal beaches. Soak up the sun and relax before we arrive in the buzzing city of Split. In the 4th Century the Roman Emperor Diocletian built a palace here as a retirement home but today you will find countless restaurants, shops and bars. The day is free yours, so you have the chance to pick up some souvenirs at the markets, relax in a café along the promenade or have one last sun tan or swim at the beach. For the adrenaline junkies, there is a chance to take a ride on a zipline to see epic views of the island and sea!

Day 8 : Split

Our trip has sadly come to an end after one last breakfast before we disembark and say goodbye to new friends.

One of the best holidays I’ve had

25-Feb-2021

We went on a tour of the Balkans and it was above our expectations. Bojan was the best tour leader gave us so much information about the places we were visiting but also a great laugh! The tour ran so smoothly and was the perfect way to see the area in a little amount of time. It was one of the best holidays I have been on, I loved every minute of it and I can’t wait to book another tour with travel talk. They are great value for money!

Just completed the exotic Morocco...

29-Oct-2023

Just completed the exotic Morocco tour with our excellent guide Abdul! He was one of the best tour guides I have met, he brought so much energy and knowledge on the tour and could not imagine doing the tour without him. The tour itself was so diverse, seeing so many different landscapes. It has been one of the best trips I have done. Would highly recommend!

My partner and I thoroughly...

25-Dec-2023

My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our 9 Day Essential Turkey tour with Mustafa as our guide. His attentiveness to the group's needs was amazing, going above and beyond to ensure an stress-free experience. Mustafa provided valuable local insights, guiding us on the best areas to visit and helping us find good local deals. Overall, we found the tour to be excellent value for money, and we were particularly impressed with traveltalks accommodation choices—clean, spacious, and offering great meal options. Additionally, the inclusion of two drivers for our safety during long journeys added an extra layer of reassurance to our memorable trip. Thank you to Mustafa!

Unforgettable Turkey Essentials: A Journey...

25-Dec-2023

Unforgettable Turkey Essentials: A Journey with Travel Talk I recently had the pleasure of embarking on the Turkey Essentials tour with Travel Talk, and let me tell you, it was an adventure like no other! From the bustling streets of Istanbul to the ancient wonders of Ephesus, this tour was a perfect blend of culture, history, and pure fun. Travel Talk ensured that every aspect of our trip was well-planned. The accommodations were comfortable, the transportation was smooth, and the itinerary was perfectly curated to showcase the best of Turkey's rich history and vibrant culture. If you're looking for an incredible adventure in Turkey, I wholeheartedly recommend Travel Talk. Their attention to detail, knowledgeable guides (Mustafa), ensure a seamless and unforgettable journey. Whether you're a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or simply seeking a thrilling travel experience, Travel Talk has got you covered. Thank you, Travel Talk for an extraordinary tour that surpassed all expectations. I'll cherish the memories and stories from this adventure for a lifetime.

Fantastic tour, personable experiences

19-Oct-2021

My first tour with Traveltalk to Jordan was fantastic. Everything was very well planned, the itinerary was timed to perfection and jam packed with amazing experiences. The tour guide Issa went above and beyond to make everyone happy and have the best experience possible, taking us to local restaurants and telling us the best things to eat. Our bus broke down on the way to the Dead Sea and he dealt with it really quickly, and a replacement bus arrived in less than an hour. He treated us all like his friend rather than just a job which make the tour even more special. The hotels were fab and had everything that we needed, all I great locations to local attractions. I booked another tour but had to cancel due to Covid and Traveltalk have placed my deposit aside ready to use on the next trip. I can’t wait to book again with them.

We did the 12 day...

12-Sep-2023

We did the 12 day Turkey tour with the Gullet option, and loved it! The price was super reasonable, Travel Talk was always extremely responsive whenever I reached out. Most importantly, we visited an amazing array of impressive historical sites, saw the profound and varied natural beauty of Turkey and enjoyed incredible experiences like hot air ballooning and paragliding. Mustafa was the best tour guide we have ever had. His knowledge and organizational skills were top notch, he helped with everything (even with arranging laundry services) and was hilarious as well. The food was tasty, the hotels were good and the boat trip was fun and relaxing with beautiful scenery and a lot of swimming. The cabins on the boat weren’t air conditioned and were pretty hot at night, so some people slept on deck where there were plenty of places with cushions where you could stretch out and get a good nights rest. I highly recommend this tour!!

Mustafa, our guide, added depth with his rich knowledge, engaging storytelling and brilliant sense of humour. The seamless experience, from transportation, meals, accommodations, sightseeing and optional activities made this tour unforgettable. Highly recommended for those seeking a perfect blend of culture and comfort in Turkey.

Balkan Discovery

06-Apr-2024

Though the group was big , l had a great time . The tour guide , Simon Simonovic , what a guide, funny , caring , kind , etc so many great y things to say about him . And., the driver ,Chris , outstanding! Two of the best guides l’ve known . I travel often ! Well designed tour , in spite that hotels weren’t so good ,like the one in Trebinje, Central Park , rooms with awful cigarette and sewer smell. The other one supposedly 5⭐️, no way , so dated and hard as a rock beds , though great breakfast ,Europe hotel The best hotel , Novohotel in Sofia ! The local guides , like in Dubrovnik, Croatia , seemed like she was killing time with irrelevant information, instead of showing us around . None of the guides could beat , Simon , so knowledgeable in every area , we asked him about ! Still with all the things l mentioned above , lm booking my next tour with this same company . Great price for what l got . Hopefully, the things l mentioned are fixed , bc this got to be the purpose of leaving a review, doesn’t it ??
