Croatia mountains and islands
Just got back from a great walking holiday. First time for us, we did under estimate the level of walking, and thought it was quite tough However I wouldn’t hesitate to book another trip, we had a fantastic time.
Most Inspirational Moment
Getting to the top. It was always a challenge, I'm so glad I did it, Croatia is a beautiful country.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Out leader was delightful, nothing was too much trouble,, he was patient, kind and very knowledgeable. You have a gem there. Thank you Zeljko
Advice for Potential Travellers
The pathways are very rugged and not well defined. Take it slowly and be prepared for steep climbs and descents.

Another excellent walking holiday with Exodus, with a friendly group in lovely surroundings. The leader Zeljko was an inspiring and enthusiastic guide, and the holiday exceeded my expectations.
Most Inspirational Moment
Can't decide between walking the walls of Dubrovnik or exploring Diocletian's Palace at Split - but the waterfalls at Krka were pretty good too.
Thoughts on Group Leader
A great friend as well as being thoroughly professional in everything he did. He enabled the group to come together and enjoy ourselves, even with those early starts! A real champion for Croatia.
Advice for Potential Travellers
The walking is correctly graded as Moderate, since the actual distances are not that great. The climbs are on rougher ground than I was expecting, however, but I'm 70 and I managed them all without holding the party back in any way.The final ascent of Bojin Kuk on the last day is NOT Moderate and should be offered only as an option in the Trip Notes - as Zeljko very sensibly did. 5 of us out of 12, including me, elected to let the others go on at this point.

A fantastic trip with stunning scenery, amazing walks, and beautiful towns. Quite full on with the walking times not leaving loads of time to relax, but fabulous nonetheless. A really noce country.
Most Inspirational Moment
The first mountain top with amazing views after a hot walk up (it was unusally hot even for June). The waterfalls at Krak NP. The beatiful ilsand of Brac. Dubrovnik and Split were lovely with a really noce ambience.
Thoughts on Group Leader
He couldn't do enough to help, went out of his way to take on board any questions or comments and help everyone, and was fantastic at developing a pace and rhythm of walking and breaks which suited everyone and made sure we could all complete the walks enjoyably.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Maybe we were a slower thas usual group and maybe the very hot weather was a factor in that, but we had very little timw left for the promised relaxation. The walks are fantastic, but not strolls on open countryside - they are proper mountain walks as the title and trip note walk details suggest!

beautiful place,lovely people.hard walking- brochure states anyone with a reasonable level of fitness can do these walks.i thought that was me,but found it incredibly hard going up mountains every day-(and even more so descending!!)- had to have a day to chill.krka national park and waterfalls beautiful although very busy

views from the top of mountains for miles and miles.

lovely informative guy.bit forgetful- we kept having to go back for things he had left!- but that added to his character.left his sandwiches and water on a wall one morning and we collected them in the evening on the way back!

think of the walks as hard not moderate before deciding.

Moderate it may be for time and distance but the walking is hard on the feet.

I found the footpath’s in Krk very stoney and rockey which was hard going for me to keep up with the younger members in the group; the cumulative effect of this was on the last day when the lip of my walking boot was making my ankle hurt and I decided not to do the walk; despite this and a previous tummy upset I enjoyed the holiday.
Most Inspirational Moment
The stay in Trogir was inspiring..
Thoughts on Group Leader
Edu is a good and reliable leader with a sound knowledge of plant/flowers and wildlife in Croatia.
Advice for Potential Travellers
None except the overnight stay in the mountain hut where, if the temperature drops, be prepared to go without a change of clothing for twenty four hours or so.

The trip was a fairly relaxed yet thorough exploration of Croatian mountains along with a visit to its coastline. Its a well balanced trip that won’t leave you needing extra sleep but will still let you get in some good walks and great scenery. We had two elderly people with us who were able to enjoy the more casual routes when the group decided to go for more vast inclines
Most Inspirational Moment
Camping overnight in the Velabit National Park. It was in the heart of the Croatian mountains but we were high enough so that we could see the coastline. The group really got to know each other and the scenery was fantastic. The weather was great and it was a really special experienc to be able to sleep up in the heart of the mountains. Lodging was comfortable and warm, I preferred it to the hotels on the shore!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was enthusiastic and caring and had a lot of knowledge of the local area. A great guide
Advice for Potential Travellers
This is a fairly standard walking trip, nothing special you need to consider or take.

Edo was a great guide, funny, informative and well organised. Couldn't fault him at all, a great ambassador for his country.
Advice for Potential Travellers
This was harder than I expected! Some stiff climbs on rocky paths followed by descents on the other! The trek to the summit of Velebit Zavizan was so much fun but also a good challenge.

Brilliant - one of the best I've ever had. Incredibly knowledgeable, on subjects from history to flowers - and great fun.

If you enjoy day hikes and love mountains and/or islands, then this is a great trip - especially if you'd also like to know more about the history of this part of the world.Don't forget your swimming togs! Or your camera....Don't bother buying a map.
