Helpful Travel Information for Croatia

The Republic of Croatia, located in southeastern Europe, is nested between the Balkans and the Adriatic Sea. Our DuVine Croatia Bike Tour starts in Split at the Marmont Hotel, where you will meet your guides around mid-day. The tour finishes in Mali Ston around 3p.m. from where you will be transferred to Dubrovnik, about an hour away.  We recommend not arranging your flight before 6pm if you plan to fly straight out wherever your next destination may be.  We recommend spending at least one extra night in Dubrovnik as there is so much to see and do there; we can assist with hotel suggestions and local tours.

You can book flights via our Air Consolidator link located on our website under Planning your Trip / Getting There. If you need assistance with your travel arrangements, we will be glad to help you. Please contact your DuVine Travel Coordinator at 888-396-5383.
