Croatia was a country we’d been looking forward to exploring, and it certainly gave us plenty of variety. We travelled down the Adriatic coast, from the old towns and clear blue waters of Istria to the dramatic mountains and coastline further south, before returning through the quieter inland areas on our journey north.
Travelling in Matilda gave us the freedom to stop along the way, explore by bike and on foot, and experience very different sides of the country.

PLACES TO VISIT

Croatia gave us plenty of opportunities to leave Matilda behind and explore. Historic towns, national parks, coastal walks and cycle rides all became part of the journey.
