One of the destinations will be to Hvar, a small Croatian summer resort island in the
Adriatic Sea. Highlights of this port town include its 13th-Century walls, a hilltop fortress
and a main square anchored by the Renaissance-era Hvar Cathedral; plus its beaches.

2020 Croatia Adventure Trip -
Postponed to September 2021
We knew our FWSA members wanted
to go to Croatia in 2020, and we will in 2021!
FWSA and Alpine Adventures have coordinated this adventure trip to Croatia September 10-19, 2021. We will visit all the
must-see locations, such as Split, Zagreb, Plitvice National Park, Dubrovnik, and the beautiful Dalmatian Coast. While in Zagreb, the
capital city of Croatia, we will experience the
local culture, arts, architecture and of course,
the local gastronomy. The UNESCO World
Heritage Sites of Dubrovnik with its 16th
Century stone-walled old town is popular and
known as the " Pearl of the Adriatic " . Its
popularity has been bolstered to global recognition after serving as the filming location
for The Game of Thrones. Split, as the second
largest city, offers a similar blend of modern
and ancient charm. The spectacular landscapes in the Plitvice National Park will certainly be scenery to remember with its
breathtaking terraced lakes and many waterfalls. Plitvice Lakes are a natural phenomenon you will not want to miss consisting of
16 natural lakes joined by waterfalls that extend into limestone canyons. This, too, is a
UNESCO World Heritage site, and we cannot
wait to explore this area.
This Balkan country adventure trip with
its 3,625-mile long Adriatic coastline and over
1,000 islands will certainly be a bucket list
item to be checked off.
