Your journey begins at Trieste Airport (TRS), where we meet for the group transfer across the border into Croatia and on to Opatija. After checking into the five-star Hotel Ambasador, we introduce you to the journey ahead and, most importantly, to the classic Mercedes-Benz cars you’ll be driving over the next few days.

That same afternoon, it’s time to get behind the wheel. Our first drive toward Labin is a relaxed introduction to your classic and the roads of the Kvarner region. Back at the hotel, we gather for drinks before leaving the rest of the evening open for you to enjoy Opatija on your own.

After breakfast, we point the classics south and head into Istria. Today’s destination is Pula, where more than two thousand years of history are woven into everyday Mediterranean life. A guided visit introduces us to the city and its extraordinary Roman heritage before you have time to explore, enjoy lunch or simply settle in at a café.

In the afternoon, we get back behind the wheel for the drive north to Opatija. Tonight, we come together for dinner at Bevanda, set directly on the waterfront with the Adriatic as our backdrop.

Today’s drive takes us across Istria to Rovinj, one of the most beautiful towns on the Croatian coast. Once there, we explore its historic center on foot, following narrow cobblestone streets between colorful centuries-old houses toward the Church of St Euphemia and the views across the Adriatic.

The rest of the afternoon is yours – find a terrace for lunch, wander along the harbor or simply enjoy having nowhere to be for a while. Later, we return to our classics for the drive back to Opatija, where the evening is free.

One more great drive awaits as we head across the Kvarner Bay toward Krk, one of the largest islands in the Adriatic. Once there, take time to discover historic Krk town, wander through its narrow streets and enjoy lunch by the water before we begin our final drive back to Opatija.

That evening, we trade the driver’s seat for a short transfer to Villa Ariston. Overlooking the Adriatic, it provides the perfect setting for our farewell dinner and one last evening together in Croatia.

Enjoy a final relaxed morning in Opatija – breakfast overlooking the bay, a walk along the waterfront or simply some time at the hotel before heading home. Late morning, we transfer together to Trieste Airport (TRS), bringing our Croatian driving journey to a close.
