Croatia & Montenegro
Hi [Name], I'm publishing this in your duplicate account so that it's less confusing with the chat!
The Dalmatian Coast acts as the confluence between southern Croatia and Montenegro's island-dotted coastline and the azure Adriatic Sea. Here, you'll find nature’s lush playground with its picture-perfect towns and historical treasures. In short, you'd be hard-pressed to find somewhere more dreamlike and this is a trip you'll be gushing about for years to come.
Hvar, Croatia | 2 nights | Riva Marina Hvar Hotel
Dubrovnik, Croatia | 3 nights | Hotel Excelsior
Portonovi, Montenegro | 5 nights | One & Only Portonovi
Game of Thrones helped to put Croatia on the tourist map, but savvy travelers have been visiting this Balkan gem for years. A city's museums and restaurants rival those in Paris or London, but the underlying spirit of the old city is a refreshing change from its Western European neighbors. Outside of the city, Croatia is one of the most biodiverse countries in Europe. Take your pick from limestone caverns, technicolor lakes, and the paradisal Adriatic islands.

Riva Marina Hvar
Junior Suite

One of the sunniest islands in Europe, Hvar has a lovely interior filled with lavender fields, small churches and charming villages. Hikes among the fields of lavender and abandoned stone villages elicit memories of what hamlets in Tuscany and Provence must have looked like half a century ago.
Begin with a walk around Hvar town, boasting with Mediterranean lushness, rich heritage and glitzy nightlife. In the historic settings admire the imposing Arsenal and discover Europe’s oldest public theatre. For breathtaking views go up to Hvar Fortress, a 16th century citadel perched on a hill above the ramparts.

Famed for its sheer beauty, glorious history of a one-time republic, and majestic ramparts, Dubrovnik righteously bears the title of “Pearl of the Adriatic”. The city center is filled with famous landmarks, so it's more like a giant open-air museum instead of a city (it's also a UNESCO World Heritage Site).
You'll make stops at Europe's oldest pharmacy hidden behind a monastery, a palace honoring the mighty dukes of Dubrovnik, and of course the medieval city walls, some of the best preserved in all of Europe. And no tour of Dubrovnik would be complete without some handpicked stops at iconic filming locations from the show Game of Thrones.

Slightly smaller than Connecticut, Montenegro is living proof that great things do come in small packages. Hidden coves and paradisical beaches line the coast from top to bottom, made even more picturesque by the backdrop of limestone mountains.
