  • DAY 2:   LJUBLJANA-POSTOJNA CAVES-ZADAR, CROATIA.
    Undoubtedly, one of the highlights on this tour is a visit to the Postojna Caves. Take an included underground train ride and a walking tour, marvel at what are possibly Europe's most extensive and most beautiful caves. Then, cross into Croatia, travelling along the coast to Zadar. Over the centuries, Zadar was ruled by Venetians, Austro/Hungarians, by Italy after WWI, and today it belongs to Croatia. Learn more during the included guided tour. Today's Distance: 217 mi/ 350 km (B,D)
  • DAY 3:   ZADAR-SPLIT-DUBROVNIK.

    Dubrovnik is the best-preserved Croatian medieval city and the liveliest in Dalmatia.

The Mostar bridge stood for 427 years, until it was destroyed in 1993 during the Croat-Bosnian war. A project was set in motion to reconstruct it, and the rebuilt bridge was opened in 2004. On to Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina and certainly the most Turkish-looking city in the Balkans-famous for its mosques, markets, and bazaars. Discover the city with a Local Guide and get acquainted with its architectural highlights, including the Gazi Husrev-Beg Mosque. Today's Distance: 162 mi/ 260 km (B,D)
  • DAY 6:   SARAJEVO-PLITVICE NATIONAL PARK, CROATIA.

Tour directors

With Cosmos, there’s no better way to get to know your destination than through the eyes of your Tour Director. We’d like you to meet a Tour Director who is representative of the type of expert that will be with you on your tour.

Zatkovic ( Wentz ), Vjenceslav

I decided to become a Tour Director in order to see the world-and lose weight. Unfortunately, the latter is impossible in Slovenia and Croatia, because the food is incredible. Still, it was worth a try! Since those early years I've discovered that the reality of travel is better than I ever imagined. Every day is different, and there is always something new to see and learn.
