Discover Croatia’s Breathtaking Destinations

Croatia is a land of diverse beauty, where each region tells its own story. In the north, Istria boasts an Italian flair with its hilltop villages and truffle-rich forests. As you head south, the glow of historic cities and the azure sea surround you. A visit to Croatia isn't complete without strolling through the ancient alleyways of Dubrovnik, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic." This UNESCO World Heritage site enchants with its medieval walls and timeless views of the sea.

Further inland, the Plitvice Lakes National Park presents a spectacle of cascading lakes and vibrant flora, standing as a living testimonial to nature's beauty. Here, you can wander through lush forests and witness the splendour of turquoise waters flowing over limestone barriers. Customized travel packages to Croatia often include guided tours of these national wonders, offering travellers an up-close look at the country's natural splendor.

Immerse in Unique Cultural Experiences

Embracing its rich history and diverse influences, Croatia’s cultural tapestry is as enthralling as its landscapes. From traditional klapa music echoing through coastal towns to mouth-watering feasts featuring fresh seafood and locally sourced produce, each experience leaves an indelible mark on your journey.

Zagreb, Croatia’s bustling capital, effortlessly blends historical charm with modern vibrancy. It's a city where you can sip coffee at quaint cafés, explore contemporary art galleries, and enjoy the spirited atmosphere of street festivals. Tailored travel packages to Croatia ensure you experience the essence of local life, whether through a cooking class in a family-run restaurant or an exclusive wine tasting in the renowned vineyards of Pelješac Peninsula.

Unwind with Culinary Delights

Croatia’s cuisine is a delightful amalgamation of flavours, drawing from Mediterranean, Central European, and Balkan influences. Along the coast, indulge in dishes like grilled fish drizzled with olive oil and accompanied by local herbs. Inland, savour hearty stews and pastas, paired with fine Croatian wines or rakija, a traditional fruit brandy.

Beyond the well-trodden paths, personalized travel packages Croatia introduce you to lesser-known culinary gems. Picture yourself enjoying a private dinner aboard a sailboat as the sun sets over the Adriatic, or perhaps sampling fresh oysters from the bed of Mali Ston.

Practical Travel Tips for Your Croatian Adventure

  • Perfect Timing: For the best weather and fewer crowds, visit in late spring or early autumn.
  • Getting Around: Croatia has an efficient transport network. While buses and trains are convenient for long distances, renting a car provides flexibility to explore off-the-beaten-track destinations.
  • Currency: The Croatian Kuna is the local currency, though Euros are widely accepted. Credit cards are commonly used in cities and tourist resorts.
  • Language: Croatian is the official language, but English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas.

Embark on your journey with one of the bespoke Croatia travel packages, each carefully crafted to match your interests and pace. From sipping wine in sun-drenched vineyards to exploring cobblestone lanes lined with history, every moment in Croatia promises to captivate and enrich your soul. Let these personalized experiences unveil the hidden gems of this Adriatic paradise, beckoning you to create unforgettable memories.

One of the most memorable traditions travellers should experience in Croatia is the Sinjska Alka. Held every August in the town of Sinj, near Split, it’s a centuries-old knights’ tournament where horsemen in traditional uniforms gallop at full speed trying to spear a small iron ring (“alka”) with their lances

One common misconception travellers have about Croatia is that it’s only about Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian coast. Inland regions like Zagreb, Istria, and Slavonia offer wine routes, truffle hunting, castles, and cultural festivals. Nature is also often overlooked. Beyond the famous Plitvice Lakes, there are mountains for hiking, rivers for rafting, and even thermal spas.

In early fall, the sea is still warm from the summer heat, making it perfect for swimming. Fall is also grape and truffle harvest season, which is ideal for food and wine lovers.

We decided to go to France for 3 weeks in September and knew we needed help planning the trip (we made this decision in August so a very short time frame. We had traveled with Goway a few years ago and were hoping they could help. Our specialist, Farnaz Bagheri, was fantastic, she listened to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go. She literally arranged everything with her French partners. The guides and drivers were wonderful the accommodations were excellent. Communication was easy from the first discussion to the time we got home. Farnaz planned for us an exceptional trip in a very short time frame. Promise next trip we will contact Goway much earlier. Thanks againSue Blake

As a travel advisor, I recently booked a group of clients on a Goway tour in China following their paddleboat competition, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Christine and Tanya in the groups department were incredibly helpful and made the entire process seamless. Their support was greatly appreciated! The feedback from my clients was overwhelmingly positive, with particular praise for the local tour guides, who helped make the trip so memorable. Everyone had a wonderful time. Thank you, Christine, Tanya, and the Goway team, for taking such great care of my clients. I would happily recommend Goway and look forward to working with them again!customer

I wanna start off by saying that Farnaz our agent was excellent!!! she planned the whole experience from start to finish. We did not have to worry about one thing the entire trip. All the hotels were great. Our transfers from hotels to fairies to airports were all available and always on time. The excursions she planned for us were all top-notch. I was a little skeptical, but just finding GOWAY online stumbling across it. But I’m so glad I made the choice to use them. I hope they definitely using the company again and especially our agent Farnaz!!! Thank you do mych for a wonderful experience! Catherine

Our goal for this trip was a stress free honeymoon where we did not have to think about anything! Goway made that successful. Everything was planned and ready for us. We just had to show up. Brooke recommended fantastic accommodations that were in great locations, clean and comfortable. The tours were took with Thompson's Africa were incredible as well. Brooke was helpful throughout the entire booking process & we wouldn't have had such an incredible experience without her. We really loved our South African holiday and hope to travel there or other locations again with Goway.Taylor

October 9, 2026, was our 50th wedding anniversary. To celebrate, I wanted to take my bride to Europe for 50 days. Also, other than the flight over, I wanted to make the trip by train. I contacted Farnaz at Goway. The trip we planned ultimately extended to 60 days. It was absolutely flawless. We had great hotels, great tours. Even though this trip was complex and had a lot of moving parts, there were no problems. Farnaz and the folks at Goway done a great job. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them on any future tripsDaniel Graff

We had a fabulous Croatia vacation with a cruise from Dubrovnik to Split, followed by land tours on Split and Opatija. Lodging was always comfortable and conveniently located. Tours and activities were perfectly suited to our interests. We have used GoWay for 2 vacations and are currently working on another. Karen
