Croatia Holidays from Edinburgh

Dubrovnik's famous walled old town is considered as one of the best-preserved medieval cities in the world. Bursting full of historic sites, hidden alleys, and delightful bell towers, Dubrovnik will leave you in awe. Famous playwright, George Bernard Shaw once said: "If you want to see heaven on earth, come to Dubrovnik. Because the beauty there will leave anyone breathless".

Cavtat is one of Croatia’s lesser-known gems oozing in character and charm, it is perched astride a wooded peninsula and just a few kilometres from thriving and easily accessible Dubrovnik. Enjoy a relaxed rhythm of life in the knowledge that the marvels of other part of Croatia, and nearby Montenegro are within easy reach. Cavtat is truly the perfect setting to your perfect escape.

The islands nearest to the coast of Dubrovnik include Lopud and Sipan and Korcula. Each of these islands is well connected with the shore and perfect for island hopping trips. Just hop on a ferry ride from Dubrovnik and enjoy the beautiful scenery around you.

Split is Croatia's second largest city and similarly to other locations is famous for its old town. The Roman era Diocletian Palace is its main draw. Split is the best destination for those wanting to go out and explore local islands from, including Hvar and Brac. The nearby national parks of Krka and Plitivice Lakes are also must-do sights.

However a stay in Brac and Hvar is very much recommended. Officially the sunniest place in Croatia, the breathtaking island of Hvar has become one of Europe’s holiday hotspots. Venetian architecture, elegant restaurants and deluxe hotels await your arrival.

Brac is Croatia’s largest island and the perfect destination for families and couples wanting to soak up the best the country has to offer. Brac offers a diverse landscape including pine-scented forests, crystal clear waters and rocky cliffs.
