Hotel Luxe 5 BB - Split*

Friendly hotel with a funky, modern feel - ideally situated for exploring the old town and enjoying the seafront. This luxury boutique hotel has something of a space-age ambience with its glossy white furnishings, sparkly silver curtains and iridescent, textured walls; its sheer modernity contrasting pleasantly with the old town of Split outside.

Hotel Uvala 4- BB - Dubrovnik*

A friendly hotel in a convenient location with great views, this attractive hotel is set on the Lapad peninsula, close to the sea and within a short bus ride of Dubrovnik’s fascinating old town. It offers a good standard of accommodation in comfortable rooms.

Note: in all other resorts, similar standard hotels will be provided.

Split

Split is a magnificent city, its old town spreading along the seafront, a living history lesson, with a unique atmosphere and an engaging energy. Combine a stay here with the islands of Hvar / Brac for a magnificent two or three centre holiday. Although Split is Croatia’s second largest town, the old centre has a delightfully relaxed, intimate feel. Its seafront cafes, spread along the palm-lined promenade, have a distinctly Mediterranean ambience. The old town feels like an open museum - the medieval buildings built into the structure of the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace, so that corridors have become streets, and rooms are now entire houses.

Island of Vis

Vis is the furthest island from the coast of Crotia and the most enigmatic. It spent much of its recent history serving as military base for ex-Yugoslavia, it was close to foreign visitors from the 1950s right up until 1989. This isolation preserved the island from development and drove a lot of people to move elsewhere in search of work, leaving it underpopulated for many years. In Vis town, parts of the ancient city walls remain, along with a thermae (public bath). Levaman Fortress houses the Archaeological Museum, with exhibits including a 4th-century-B.C. bronze head of the goddess Artemis and amphorae recovered offshore. On a small peninsula, St. Jerome’s Church and Monastery is built over an ancient Roman theater

Island of Brac

This beautiful island, known for its stunning white marble, is home to Croatia’s most famous and iconic beach, Zlatni Rat. Brac is the third-largest island in the Adriatic and the perfect place to get away from it all. Hiring a car or a bike means that you can discover plenty of deserted beaches and quiet coves. As you head into its interior, you will see that many of the inland villages have long been abandoned. It makes an interesting excursion to head inland to the Museum of Brac in Skrip, where you can find out more about the island’s fascinating history, and learn just how tough life was for islanders in times gone by.

Island of Hvar

Hvar is the perfect holiday spot - relaxed by day and enchantingly chic by night. It also boasts of having more hours of sunshine than anywhere else in Croatia Hvar has far more than its fair share of good looks and charm. Wooded hills sweep down to meet the red roofs and pale stone walls of magnificent buildings, surveying the palm fringed harbour and sparking turquoise of the Adriatic.

Korucla

The tiny Island of Korcula entices sun-seekers with its attractive beaches, beautifully preserved medieval town and crystal-clear waters.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is sure to take your breath away - the pale stone of the ancient city walls and ornate pires stretching above the red roofs, surrounded by the sparkling waters of the Adriatic.

Our flight was delayed and I received contact from Oguzhan and Rica telling me that they had arrange later pick up from the airport when arriving in Turkey. Mustafa our driver was warm and friendly throughout our stay .The transfer and 3 day tours were fantastic , Our guide was really knowledgeable and looked after us while we toured this remarkable place The highlight was the Balloon ride in the morning a truly magical experience . I can not fault any part of the holiday and the service of Diamond Travel Experience . Easy to contact through what’s app anytime which was a great touch . I would strongly recommend Diamond star Experience for booking a holiday , We will def book again with them when returning to Turkey. Thanks and well done ! A truly wonderful Break" Mrs Wilson - 21 Aug 2025

"A week's trip on Perla del Mar captained by Mustafa, with chef Dohan, and crew Cem, Emre and Meric turned out to be the best family holiday we had ever booked. Akin's recommendation of the boat was spot on. Dohan's menu and cooking was absolutely excellent. The crew went out of their way to assist us at every opportunity and their care and attention to the children on the trip was exemplary. There wasn't a single fault that on the whole trip, the transfers worked perfectly, the crew were there to greet us at Marmaris and led us through the alleys to the waterside where the amazing boat in front of us was to be ours for a week. We were all taken aback and realised that Mum's mad dream was coming to fruition. A holiday found by google, sold to us by Akin who took the trouble to explain everything turned out to be beyond the dreams of all of us. Canoeing in quiet coves, swimming and snorkelling to our hearts content then served with drinks and snacks before amazing meals and enjoying the trips between coves became the order of each day. I can firmly recommend this holiday to anyone. It was simply amazing." Christine - 25 May 2025

" We went to Diamond Star experience because they offer multi-centre holidays and had good ratings. We were in no way disappointed with what was organised. We said that we wanted a few days in Athens and then a week on a relatively quiet island. Akin made a proposal (Athens then Naxos) and then, when we agreed, organised everything. The Athens hotel was central and accessible to the main sites and to restaurants, and was of very good quality. The choice of Naxos for the island was equally good and we stayed in an excellent three star hotel on the edge of the town within easy reach of the beach and restaurants. All transfers were efficiently organised and even when there was a transport hiccup (our fault!) there was a phone call from the Athens back-up team within the hour to find out what had happened.
Thank you very much, Akin and staff, for a really enjoyable holiday and for service which can be easily be recommended. " Mr Alan Fraser - 19 May 2025
