Overview
Begin and end in Venice on an unforgettable self-drive journey through northeastern Italy, Slovenia and Croatia. Discover the relaxed charm of Ljubljana, the mountain scenery surrounding Lake Bled, the waterfalls and turquoise lakes of Plitvice, and the colourful coastal towns of Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula.
The itinerary combines culture, nature, food and coastline without excessive driving. With two nights in Rovinj, travellers have time to slow down and enjoy the Adriatic rather than changing hotels every day.
