Good to know

• Prices are per person in euros, land only, and are payable in rupees at the day's exchange rate. They are based on rates valid to 30 November 2026; we confirm 2027 rates when you book.
• Croatia is in the Schengen area, so you need a Schengen visa. Day trips into Bosnia or Montenegro leave the Schengen area, so ask for a multiple-entry visa.
• Group tours start from a central meeting point, usually a short walk from the old-town hotels. Bus and ferry tickets are included; getting between the bus station or port and your hotel is not, unless we say so.
• City and tourist taxes are small nightly charges paid at each hotel in euros.
• Hotel check-in is from 2 or 3 pm and check-out by 10 or 11 am.
• Rates do not apply during trade fairs, big sporting events and congresses; we check your dates when you book.
• Single rooms and children's prices are quoted on request.

When to go

May to September. May, June and September are warm, with the sea good for swimming and fewer crowds than July and August. April and October are mild and quiet; many island boats stop from November to March.
