Meet the Founders

We are Ivo and Eti, partners in life and in vision.

Together, we built Aldura on a foundation of pioneering spirit, deep local knowledge, and genuine love for our island home. Over the 25 years of our travel agency, we have transformed a bold adventure concept into a company recognized for bespoke, high-quality, and authentic island experiences. 
Our complementary strengths, our connection with our island community, and shared passion for heritage, flavor, and landscapes of Dalmatia continue to define every experience Aldura creates.

We are happy and grateful that we are surrounded by our team that make our office and our work days feel like home.

Aldura story

Aldura story begins more than 25 years ago, at a time when adventure travel in Croatia was still in its very beginnings. As some of the early pioneers of adventure tours in the country, we shaped experiences that introduced travelers to the beauty, landscapes, and authentic spirit of the Adriatic.

That pioneering spirit still defines us although our vision has evolved.

We began with all things adventure, hiking, biking, kayaking, climbing, and exploring paths less traveled  and as the years passed, we began weaving those outdoor experiences with the living traditions of our islands: olive oil making, stone craftsmanship, small family wineries, historic villages, and culinary heritage passed down through generations.

Today, along with adventure tours which will always be our love of course, we curate high-quality, thoughtfully designed experiences that blend:

  • Meaningful encounters with local hosts and artisans
  • The rich traditions of our island communities
  • The natural beauty of the Adriatic
  • Dalmatian olive oil fields, wineyards and orchards 
  • Authentic gastronomy and local flavors
  • Cultural heritage shaped by centuries of history
Do we offer luxury, such popular concept in travel industry these days?

Yes, because we believe luxury is not about excess. It is about access, authenticity, and thoughtful detail.

Yes, because we believe luxury is not about excess. It is about access, authenticity, and thoughtful detail.

After 25 years of experience, we continue to innovate while staying true to who we are: islanders with a deep love for our home, proud to share it in a way that is intimate, refined, and genuinely local.

Beyond Travel: Commitment to Community

Our work has never been limited to travel industry.

From our very beginnings, we have been actively involved in developing projects that contribute to both, the local community and our guests. We have initiated infrastructure development ranging from climbing areas to biking trails, helped design and support outdoor and cultural projects, and organized events, symposiums, and competitions that bring together professionals, enthusiasts, and residents alike. All, with the same mission, to create meaningful travel experiences that contribute to the place where it happens, all while strengthening local identity, preserving heritage, and creating long-term value for those who call this beautiful island home. This commitment shapes everything we do.
