Discover the Dalmatian Coast
8 DAYS FROM £649

This holiday has departures available between: 2nd May 2010 to 3rd Oct 2010
836Mr and Mrs R PhillipsRoyston We have just returned from our holiday 'Discover the Dalmatian Coast, Hotel Croatia'. Once again Archers have done us proud and we had a wonderful tour followed by an extra week in the idyllic and unspoilt resort of Cavtat.

We have returned home with very happy memories and plenty of photos to look back on (please find a small selection attached). The Hotel Croatia was superb, the Croatian people welcoming and friendly, the scenery fantastic and the tours interesting and enjoyable.

So thank you again Archers, we look forward to our next holiday with you. no1Phillips - discover the dalmation coast1.JPGPhillips - discover the dalmation coast1_TN.JPGMy holiday photos: Discover the Dalmatian Coast29217800-Phillips - discover the dalmation coast2.JPG00-Phillips - discover the dalmation coast2_TN.JPGMy holiday photos: Discover the Dalmatian Coast29217800-Phillips - discover the dalmation coast3.JPG00-Phillips - discover the dalmation coast3_TN.JPGMy holiday photos: Discover the Dalmatian Coast29217800-Phillips - discover the dalmation coast4.JPG00-Phillips - discover the dalmation coast4_TN.JPGMy holiday photos: Discover the Dalmatian Coast292178836Simon PowellUK My wife and I have just returned from the "Discover the Dalmatian Coast" tour.
The first thing I noticed was the efficiency of the airport, from landing to being on our coach took no longer than 20 mins.

We stayed in Cavtat at the Hotel Croatia. The hotel has just undergone a complete makeover so everything was crisp and new. It is located in the most fantastic setting overlooking the beautiful harbour of Cavtat, which is accessible from the hotel by a rather steep flight of steps but well worth the walk. The food in the hotel was a buffet type but plenty of choice and variety and of a high standard.

The harbour has plenty of lovely restaurants and bars all reasonably prices and serving good quality food.

The included tours were well organised and interesting. Dubrovnik and Montenegro were my personal favourites. Both places were nothing like I imagined they were spotlessly clean and full of wonderful architecture. They also had the most fantastic scenery. People are very helpful and friendly and seem genuinely pleased that you are visiting their country.
I would highly recommend the Dalmatian coast it is relatively un-spoilt and not overly crowded. no1Powell - discover dalmation coast1.JPGPowell - discover dalmation coast1_TN.JPGMy holiday photos: Discover the Dalmatian Coast292178Powell - discover dalmation coast2.JPGPowell - discover dalmation coast2_TN.JPGMy holiday photos: Discover the Dalmatian Coast292178836Jacquie FallerUK Dubrovnik has been billed as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' and Croatia as 'the Mediterranean as it used to be' so it had quite a lot to live up to as a holiday destination. This was our first visit to Croatia and we were quite excited at the prospect of a busy week here since our friends, colleagues and the guidebooks all said positive things about it.
On Tuesday evening we were whisked from the airport to our Hotel by private taxi in just under 10 minutes to be based in a small coastal village called Cavtat for a week. The Hotel Croatia was an idyllic private hideout whose setting wouldn't put James Bond's enemies to shame. Although it was a vast hotel with 480 rooms there is a warm welcome and very efficient staff to see everything is in order. We have already made enquiries about returning next year only to be informed that the hotel is having a complete overhaul and refurbishment and will be closed from November 2007 until May 2008. If they are trying to improve on an already immaculate place then we might be returning to paradise next year!
Unfortunately we arrived in gentle rain and had to persevere with poor weather for the first few days. The rain was very welcomed by the Croatians though because there had been a series of serious brush and forest fires which had caused death and destruction in the vicinity around Dubrovnik. This foul weather culminated in a tremendous storm in the early hours of Friday morning which lasted until lunchtime. The locals told us that there hadn't been a storm like that in living memory-just our luck but at least it was warm rain. After that we basked in beautiful sunshine and got quite healthily tanned and everything looked far more beautiful and appealing.
The itinerary organised for us showed us four main highlights of the local and more distant areas of the Dalmatian coastline. All the trips were well organised although the full days were very long but informative. They certainly wetted our appetite for further exploration of both Dubrovnik and our hotel locality in Cavtat without the need to travel long distances. Local transport on the boat or bus seemed to be very reliable in our experience.
The highlight of our stay was completely unplanned since we did not know of its existence before we arrived in Cavtat. We happened upon the Epidaurus Festival which was being held in Cavtat from 21st-30th September 2007 (Epidaurum is the ancient name for modern Cavtat). This was a locally organised festival of Arts and Music and it allowed us to see a live concert nearly every evening of our stay. It only involved walking down the 128 steps from the hotel to the town below. Ironically we stayed in Dubrovnik on Thursday night to see the Dubrvnik Symphony Orchestra perform. Then saw them at the Cultural Centre (like the Village Hall) on the Saturday night at the closing concert of the festival. We paid 200 kunas for the concert in Dubrovnik-excellent value and 30 kunas for the concert in Cavtat-amazing value!!!!
Would we return again? Definitely
Would we be based in Cavtat? Enthusiastically
Would we stay at the Hotel Croatia? Luxuriously
Would we travel with Archers? Thankfully

Many thanks for a truly memorable holiday, which we were certainly ready for this year. Your tours should however come with the warning that our guide on the Prague, Vienna, Budapest tour gave us last year-this not a holiday but an education! You certainly pack in plenty to do in really wonderful locations. I can't wait to book our next break with you. no1836Mrs PilkingtonW. Sussex We have recently returned from Dubrovnik having spent a most enjoyable and thought provoking holiday there.

Our hotel was excellent overlooking the Lapad Bay, we have open air covered dining on food beyond expectation with many choices and the staff were very helpful. Of course the weather was perfect and the short flights to and from UK just right.

We walked early morning around the city walls, a must do walk for the stunning views, we walked around the cliff path and lazed on beaches with the clearest water. Fish is abundant which quayside restaurants cook to order. There are many islands to visit by boat also a trip to Cavtat resort from which we took the bus back.

There are coach trips two of which we took, the first to Mostar where the Bosnian War scenes of destruction are still evident along with the cemetery monuments of the many young men lost there, the mosques and churches and the new bridge reopened by Prince Charles last year, very mixed emotions were felt. We also visited Montenegro, which is becoming a charming beach resort with a large yacht harbour.

The different cultures and currencies, the border controls when crossing into neighbouring countries, their differing economies all made this trip so memorable. We will definitely explore Croatia further. no1
