The 2027 edition of our annual road trip on the Adriatic coast, using the famous Magistral road, takes us from Portoroz all the way to Corfu, Greece.
Starting in Portoroz, we head south through the Istrian Peninsula to Pula and Opatija before following the spectacular Croatian coastline with overnight stops in Trogir and Dubrovnik. We then arrive in Montenegro for two nights at the magnificent Regent Porto Montenegro.
The journey continues into Albania, passing through Tirana before reaching Durres, where a special red-carpet welcome awaits. On the final day, we follow the breathtaking Albanian Riviera south to Corfu, Greece, bringing our Adriatica adventure to a memorable conclusion.
We meet in Portoroz at Adriatic Istra Resorton Saturday, the 1st of May. You can relax from your trip today, while the team prepares your cars for the event ahead. In the evening, we will have dinner and the driver's briefing. We will have some advice to prepare you for this exciting road trip with your supercar.
Over the next seven days, we will enjoy the most stunning roads and views the Adriatic coast and the region has to offer. The route takes you through Croatia, Montenegro, Albania, and finally Corfu in Greece.
Every day will consist of about three to five hours of driving. We will also stop for lunches, pictures, historic monuments, or just great views – and there is no shortage of those in Croatia and Montenegro.
Ready? Here we go. This is the complete schedule for Gran Turismo Adriatica 2027.
