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 were just back from an ambitious 42-day grand circle through seven of the ASEAN countries! An itinerary gestating over a period of time, carefully planned and pore over intently all the way through proved satisfying as expected, but the amazing "embarras de richesse" in six weeks such as we've never experienced before truly went beyond our imagination, both in terms of scenery and culture! Here we owe our destination specialist Taryn a profound gratitude for her insight and for her coordination efforts. When our debit card was not retrievable in an airport ATM Taryn again went out of her way to approve a small loan through transfer to our local guide's bank account, who then withdrew cash from an ATM while we simply paid Goway Travel by credit card through an online payment link. This helped us tremendously through that difficult moment. We will always treasure this kindness on her part.Yuan Lin

Alice was most helpful - full of insider suggestions. She was a good listener and able to provide tours, routes and guides tailored to our interests. She made our February trip to New Zealand entirely wonderful. Marlene

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue

Paul at GoWay made this first GoWay trip a breeze from start to finish! He was very quick to respond and created an incredible itinerary that my clients absolutely loved. From the incredible hotel location to the private tours led by knowledgeable tour guides who show that they love their jobs, it couldn't have gone better. Can't wait to Yesenia Rodriguez

Once again, Goway Travel has provided us with an amazing travel experience, and the customized itinerary prepared by Joanne Palanuik was second to none. She was the main reason that Australia is a "trip of a lifetime" for us. Her attention to detail and recognizing what would make this a special trip for us is noteworthy and much appreciated.Wally

I would recommend GoWay for travel anytime. I had a private tour of India built for me, after I was invited to my friend's wedding. I travelled around northern India with my driver for 10 days. I had a new guide most every day, for the trip, as we went from location to location. Absolutely everything was amazing!! I honestly can't say there was a negative moment in any of it. I felt 100% safe travelling alone with GoWay's experts. My lodgings were excellent and someone was always available for support, if need be. This was one of the best experiences of my life!!! Thank you so much GoWay!!Trudy Buelow
