Join us on adventures near and far as our presentations give you unique perspectives of travelers' experiences.

Croatia and Slovenia declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. The remaining four republics followed, and Yugoslavia disappeared into history. Visit Croatia’s fairy-tale castles and medieval forts. Scenes from Game of Thrones were filmed in Croatia. Croatia is known for its black truffles and white truffles harvested with the help of trained dogs or pigs. Brijuni is an island group that is a national park known for its Mediterranean climate. The climate and location attracted successive conquering groups throughout the ages. Walk through the remains of a Roman villa or snorkel the Brijuni Underwater Educational Trail and see Roman ruins among the myriads of fish. Diocletian’s well-preserved palace in southern Croatia is the size of a fortress. It expanded to become the city of Split, Croatia.
