The day begins with one of the real highlights of your tour - a visit to the Postojna Caves, one of Europe's most extensive underground networks. Later, head across the border into Croatia and along the Dalmatian Coast to Zadar, a picturesque, historic town, the former capital of Dalmatia, for some sightseeing and an overnight stay. The area has a chequered history of rulers, from centuries under Venetian domination and Austro/Hungarian rule prior to World War I, to Italy and, after World War II, Yugoslavia. Now it is part of Croatia: free, busy and full of life. (B, D)

DAY 3: Zadar - Split (included sightseeing) - Dubrovnik.

Travelling further along the Dalmatian Coast, arrive in the picturesque port of Dubrovnik for two nights. (B)

DAY 4: Dubrovnik. Included sightseeing.
Standing on a promontory jutting out into the blue waters of the Adriatic, Dubrovnik is one of the Dalmatian Coast's most beautiful resorts, famous for its striking buildings, squares and fortified walls. It also has plenty of shops, cafés and restaurants. Enjoy an included walking sightseeing tour for an insight into the history of this beautifully preserved medieval city. (B)

DAY 5: Dubrovnik - Neretva Gorges - Mostar - Sarajevo (included sightseeing).
Start the day with a scenic drive amidst the rugged countryside of the Neretva Valley. Next stop is the former Turkish garrison town of Mostar, now the chief city of Herzegovina, to view the Stari Most Old Bridge, after which the city is named. Later, visit the historic city of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina and the most Turkish looking city in the Balkans - famous for its mosques, markets and bazaars. An included city sightseeing tour will give you an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with the city and its architectural highlights. (B, D)

DAY 6: Sarajevo - Plitvice National Park.
Head north back into Croatia to visit the country's best-known National Park, Plitvice, with its 16 glimmering lakes, lush wooded hills, and cascading waterfalls. Perhaps join the optional walking tour for great views of some of the beautiful lakes. Overnight in the area. (B, D)

DAY 7: Plitvice - Zagreb (included sightseeing) - Ljubljana (included sightseeing).
