Let’s face it, you’ve been wanting to go to Croatia and now is the opportunity that fell right in your lap. Croatia is stunningly beautiful, with great food, (think fresh seafood), wine, fascinating culture and yes, a developing beer scene, of which most of these beers are not available in the United States.

Croatia seems to be on many people’s travel radar, so now more than ever seems like the perfect time to go to this emerging European destination and experience what Croatians call “Pomalo living.” Pomalo means, take it easy, slow down and enjoy life! Read more about Pomalo here.

If you want to dip your toe in Croation beer, at Total Wine, you’ll find some such as Karlavacko Lager and 5th Element, with as many as five variations.

We’ll begin our tour in the capital city of Zagreb, described by some as one of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities. Travelers are encouraged to arrive two nights early to adjust to the time and to allow for delays. By arriving two nights early, you’ll have time to enjoy exploring the city on your own prior to the tour. From there, we’ll visit the famous Plitvice Lakes National Park featuring waterfalls and lakes, and stay one night right in the park.

Then it’s on to Split, with an enchanting old town nestled in the ancient ruins of a Roman palace and situated on the romantic Adriatic Sea. We’ll spend two nights here exploring the town and the beer culture.

No visit to Croatia would be complete without some island hopping, which is why our next stop is glamorous Hvar Town on the sunny island of Hvar. We’ll transfer there by ferry as we wind our way through its yacht-filled harbor. We’ll spend two nights here enjoying its ample nightlife.

It will be hard to leave Hvar Town, but another jewel awaits us, majestic Dubrovnik. We’ll arrive by ferry after traversing scenic islands along the way. This walled city is a postcard picture at every turn. This will be our home for the final three nights of the tour as we explore this pearl of the Adriatic and Dalmation Coast.
