Croatia Women Only Tours
Croatia is a beautiful country located in South East Europe and a popular destination for women only groups because of the diverse range of attractions, including beaches, historic cities, picturesque towns and stunning natural scenery. And of course, food!
Join The Adventurous Ewe where we visit Dubrovnik, Split, Zagreb, the Plitvice Lakes National Park and Hvar Isaland amongst others on our Croatia Women Only Tours.
Plitvice Lakes
The Plitvice Lakes National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in central Croatia. The park is renowned for its stunning natural beauty consisting of a series of sixteen interconnected lakes and waterfalls set in lush forested surroundings.
The lakes are famous for their striking turquoise colour caused by the interplay of sunlight and minerals in the water. There are a series of boardwalks and hiking trails of varying lengths that wind through the park’s pristine forest. One of the most popular routes is the “Big Waterfall” trail, a 3.5 mile loop around the park’s largest waterfall, Veliki Slap.
In Spring visitors can see the park’s abundant wildflowers, while in the fall the changing leaves create a colourful display. In winter, the lakes freeze over and offer a unique and peaceful experience.
Overall, the Plitvice Lakes National Park is a must see part of the tour for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
Blue Caves
The Blue Cave is a natural wonder located in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of the island of Biŝevo, near Vis, a popular destination in Croatia. The cave gets its name from the brilliant blue light that fills its interior, caused by the reflection of sunlight off the cave’s white limestone walls.
To reach the Blue Cave, visitors can take a boat tour from the town of Komiža or Vis. Once at the cave, visitors can transfer to a smaller boat that takes them inside the cave’s narrow entrance where they are greeted with a magical and surreal atmosphere of blue light that illuminates the water and walls of the cave.
The Blue Cave is a unique and unforgettable experience that is well worth the visit.
Croatian Cuisine
Food does more than merely satisfy your hunger. The stories of people and places are revealed via food, which is closely linked to culture. For this reason, our women only tour has included a cookery class with a well-known Croatian Chef and it would not be the same without sampling some of the wines.
Croatia cuisine is diverse and influenced by its neighboring countries, including Italy, Austria and Hungary.
A few delicious Croatian dishes to sample during your tour with The Adventurous Ewe.
- Peka-Peka – a traditional dish that consists of meat or fish and vegetables cooked in a covered dish over an open fire. The dish is prepared with potatoes, carrots, onions and bell peppers and often served with polenta.
