Day 2: Zadar, Croatia

The former capital of Dalmatia, Zadar showcases centuries of history in its charming city streets. An important educational and literary center, it is best known for its Romanesque churches and the pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donat.

Day 3: Trogir/Split, Croatia

A small resort town located on an island off the Croatian mainland, Trogir has been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its 2,300 years of urban continuity. Today, you’ll find an amazing architectural mix that blends the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, as well as the stunning natural beauty of its capes, bays, and coves.

At noon, the Tere Moana casts off for Split. A major cultural center and the largest city in the region, Split is best known as the site of Diocletian’s Palace, built by the Roman emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD and today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Beyond expectations! Then again we weren't sure what to expect. Lovely stay at the lodge, met other like-minded travelers (many had their trips planned by Adventure Life) and the owner was a gracious hostess. It felt like you were one happy family, visiting with a favorite aunt.
