Join us for an unforgettable small-group retreat through Southern Croatia and Herzegovina — where crystal-clear Adriatic waters meet rich history, incredible cuisine, and warm local hospitality.
This intimate experience blends coastal luxury, cultural discovery, and relaxed adventure, hosted by Natalie (founder of Lost & Hungry Travel Co.) and Doris, your Croatian local host who is passionate about sharing her home, traditions, and favorite hidden gems.
Doris brings deep local knowledge and personal connections throughout the region — from family-owned restaurants to oyster farmers and winemakers — giving you authentic access you simply wouldn’t experience traveling on your own.
