Adriatic Crossings

Kotor to Sarajevo Along the Coast in 6 Days

Easy6 DaysSmall group
Adriatic Crossings 1

About this journey

Six days, four old towns, three countries, and one of the most beautiful drives in Europe. This journey starts in the walled bay of Kotor, crosses Lovćen to the Croatian coast, walks Dubrovnik at first light, tastes the parent grape of Zinfandel on Pelješac, and ends at the rebuilt Mostar bridge lit up at the farewell dinner.

You will climb 1,355 steps above Kotor, sail to Our Lady of the Rocks, hear Diocletian's Roman palace explained by someone whose family has lived inside it for generations, and stand at Blagaj where a river emerges from a cliff face at the foot of a Sufi tekija.

Six days. The Adriatic, the way it should be done — slowly, before the cruise ships arrive.
