Prices are as they were when this itinerary was finalised (in July 2026). We price your own trip live, to your dates.
Indian passport holders need a Schengen visa; apply through the country where you spend the most nights (Croatia here) at least six weeks before travel.
The whole trip is built cabin-bag-only - no checked bags. All carriers on the route (Air India, IndiGo, Aegean) allow at least 7 kg cabin baggage.
The Split-to-Dubrovnik Krilo catamaran and the Dubrovnik-Athens Aegean flight sell out in summer; book both three-plus weeks ahead for the best fares.
Euros work everywhere except Hungary, which uses the forint. Airalo Eurolink covers data across the whole route on a single eSIM.
This is the Classic Adriatic option; two alternatives swap in the Alps and Lake Bled or add Italy plus an overnight ferry with Greek-island time.
