Day 1 : Split, Omis

Location: Split, Omiš

Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat

Meals Included: Lunch

All aboard, it’s time to start your sailing adventure! Meet your tour leader and group at 1:00pm at Split harbour. We will enjoy our first lunch on board together, before we set sail in the tranquil waters of the Adriatic Sea. There are plenty of stops for swimming on the way to Omis, a small port located at the mouth of the Cetina River and surrounded by huge gorges. Historically, Omis was home to the fearful pirates whose fast boats were used to attack trade ships. In the afternoon, you can go white water rafting along the Cetina River.

Day 2 : Makarska

Location: Makarska

Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

We will start the day with a swim break at beautiful bay along the Dalmatian coast. Next stop: Makarska which is a popular resort town on the mainland that has the Biokovo mountain range as a stunning backdrop. After a brief orientation walk you have the afternoon free to lie on the beach, take part in water sports like parasailing and jet skiing, go on an optional zipline adventure or just enjoy the many cafés, bars and restaurants that line the 1.5km beach. Let’s get this party started, as tonight we will have a rave in a cave!

Day 3 : Hvar

Location: Hvar

Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

As the anchor rises this morning, we wave goodbye to the shores of Makarska and are bound for Hvar. Hvar is home to spectacular beaches, pumping nightlife and draws numerous celebrities. After an orientation walk you can sample some fresh cuisine at the local restaurants and then get ready to dance the night away as we hit the local bars and clubs!

Day 4 : Korcula

Location: Korčula

Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Ahoy shipmates, this morning we are sailing to Lumbarda beach to go swimming, sunbathing or join in various water-sports and activities. We will then continue to Korcula town, the birthplace of Marco Polo. Korcula is graced with indented coves, rolling hills and a walled old town that resembles a mini Dubrovnik. After an orientation walk you can wander the streets checking out the local markets, visit the house where Marco Polo lived, or grab a cocktail in a bar located at the top of the old city tower for some phenomenal views.

Day 5 : Mljet

Location: Mljet

Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Time to say goodbye to Hvar 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. Of course, no sailing trip will be complete without dressing like a pirate so tonight we will have our on-board ‘Pirate Party’ with a delicious BBQ and traditional Croatian cuisine. It’s time to shake ye booty!

Day 6 : Mljet, Dubrovnik

Location: Mljet, Dubrovnik

Accommodation: Traditional Motor Sailing Boat

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Feeling a little hungover from the night before? Don’t worry nothing like relaxing in the sun or a swim in the crystal clear waters can’t fix. Later that day we head for the ‘pearl of the Adriatic’, Dubrovnik! Not just a scene location in Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik’s rich history and uninterrupted 2km walls with encircle the city make this city standout in its own right! In the evening we indulge in some fresh seafood, before seeing what the Dubrovnik nightlife has in store — party in a 13th Century fortress anyone?

Day 7 : Dubrovnik City Tour

Location: Dubrovnik

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch

Another day in paradise! Discover Dubrovnik’s main attractions with your tour leader and local guide.

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!

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 is the key to a fantastic Essential Turkey tour

06-Dec-2021

My partner and I did the Essential Turkey tour in November/December 2021. We had a fantastic time, and can both only recommend Travel Talk and this tour. Mustafa Kurt, our incredible guide, is really who sets this tour apart from any competition. He conducts the majority of Travel Talk's Essential Turkey, so you may get lucky if you book. Mustafa is an extremely qualified tour guide, with an extraordinary tourism CV, who wholly commits to ensuring that those on his tour have the very best Turkey experience possible. The man goes well above and beyond, without even thinking twice. He is a natural leader, whilst also being a friend. He was hilarious to have around us, bringing all the laughs and very much aiding in bringing the group together. His knowledge of Turkey is second to none, and he never lets this or his jokes get stale. The minibus that we used was better than expected - modern and comfy. We also had two drivers, adding to safety and ability to cover the long distances required. The hotels on the tour do vary, but are generally good. Travel Talk were responsive during booking, and flexible when it came to us having to delay due to Covid.
