The Balkans

Below are just a few examples of the signature experiences that MIR can arrange for you in Croatia.  Let them be a source of inspiration, then get in touch with one of our Private Tour Designers to craft an itinerary uniquely suited to your travel goals, budget, and style.

• Board a boat for a private excursion to the oyster beds of Mali Ston Bay, cultivated here since Roman times, tasting these fresh-plucked oysters that are often called the world’s best.
• Enjoy a hands-on Croatian cooking class, browsing Split’s market for the freshest seasonal ingredients and spices, and using traditional methods to create an authentic Dalmatian Coast meal paired with local wines.
• Visit Peljesac’s Edivo Vina Winery, Croatia’s one-of-a-kind underwater winery, and view – even dive to – the watery wine cellar where this coveted Plavac Mali wine ages in upside-down bottles.
• Glide to beguiling Blue Cave on Bisevo Island, with its otherworldly luminous aquamarine hue that shimmers from the sea floor when sunlight bathes the cave.
• Take a private tour with the curator of Zagreb’s showcase Mimara Art Museum, delving into its history and vast art collections, including masterpieces by Raphael, Rembrandt, and Van Gogh.
