Live Like a Local in Croatia!

For Old World charm and medieval splendour, few places rival Croatia. Now imagine experiencing it not as a tourist, but as a welcomed guest — staying in a traditional farm villa, enjoying homemade meals, sampling local wine and olive oil, and exploring the stunning Adriatic coastline. This weeklong journey into the heart of rural Croatia lets you slow down and savour life the way the locals do, with unforgettable day trips to Dubrovnik, scenic cycling routes, and peaceful sailing excursions.

 

Garth and Meridel have spent the past week immersed in this very experience, exploring southern Croatia alongside some of our trusted local partners — including David Green, Managing Director of Canada and Global VP of Sales and Customer Operations for G Adventures. Together, they’ve walked the vineyards, sailed the turquoise waters, and learned family recipes from the Mujo family, who host guests at their rustic villa in the hills of Lovorno. With a maximum of just ten travellers, this intimate tour blends activity, culture, and connection — a true taste of local life. Don’t miss your chance to experience Croatia in a way that’s personal, authentic, and absolutely unforgettable.
