ITINERARY
Once you’ve landed in Pula Airport, you’ll catch a transfer over to your hotel in the town of Medulin. Free time in the afternoon and evening.
Stay: Park Plaze Belverdere (or similar) | Meals: Dinner
Today, you’ll get to know some of the towns and villages around Medulin, including Rovinj – a picturesque fishing port – and Livade, where you’ll head into a forest to look for truffles.
- Wander around the city of Pula. It’s home to an ancient colosseum that looks like smaller version of the one in Rome.
- Stroll through the maze of cobbled streets in the city centre of Rovinj. It’s filled with 17th-century Baroque houses and churches.
- Tuck in to a traditional lunch of pasta, locally grown asparagus and Croatian wine during a stop in the village of Grzini.
- Go hunting for truffles in the Motovun Forest, outside the village of Livade. An expert will take you to the best spots to find these luxury foodie items.

Today, you’ll take a trip to the Plitvice Lakes. There are 16 in total, and they’re nestled into a UNESCO-protected national park of woods, waterfalls and criss-crossing bridges. Just so you know, it takes around 3 hours to get to the lakes.
- Snap some photos of a 250-foot-tall waterfall during a hike around the lower lakes.
- Sit down for a meal in a restaurant in the village of Rastoke. The area’s famous for a special type of bread that’s made with corn, barley and wheat.
- Sail across Lake Kozjak. It’s the biggest one in the national park, and you’ll whizz around the water in a quiet electric boat.

Stay: Park Plaze Belverdere (or similar) | Meals: Breakfast & Dinner
You’ll head to one of Slovenia biggest and most popular lakes today – Lake Bled. It’s home to the only island in the country, where you’ll find a 17th-century Baroque church. Just so you know, it’s a three hour round trip with the occasional rest stop.
- Take in the Instagram-worthy natural scenery. The whole lake’s surrounded by towering snow-capped mountains and thick forests.
- Explore Bled Castle – one of the oldest fortresses in Slovenia. It sits on top of 130-metre-tall cliffs that look out over the lake, so the view here’s something else.
- Hop in a rowing boat for a visit to the church in the middle of the lake. It’s believed that if you make a wish while the bell rings, it’ll come true.
