Fly Drive and Car Hire
This is the best way to explore Croatia, a country of great natural beauty. Our selected fly- drive itineraries offer a genuine opportunity for travellers to visit and enjoy the parts of country not featured in holiday brochures. These itineraries combine more established ‘must see’ resorts on the Adriatic, inland Croatian cities with elegant buildings rich in history and culture, charming villages of rural Zagorje where wildlife seems to outnumber human beings, and the hills crowned with romantic castles surrounded by lush vineyards, panoramic views and endless possibilities for rambling.
Croatia’s road system is comprehensive, but of variable quality once you get beyond the main highways. There are currently five stretches of motorway (autocesta). Elsewhere, the main routes including the Adriatic coast route (the Magistrala) are single carriageways but offer wonderful dramatic views of the Dalmatian coast.

FLIGHTS - Not included in the prices
With increased competition in air travel, airlines more and more, rely on ‘fluid’ pricing to fill in their seats. So much so, that in many instances it is impossible to predict the cost of flights from one month to another. This situation affects equally scheduled and charter flights. For this reason we have decided not to include flights in our holidays, enabling our customers to take full advantage of any bargain air fares they may purchase and add to our ground arrangements. However, if you wishsuitable flights to be included inour quotation/itinerary , please let us know.
