Hi Nasher,
I reckon a good route would be across the smaller Swiss passes, down through the Italian lakes to Verona. Then over to Trieste where you could take the coast road round Istria - lots of beautiful harbours. We crossed onto Cres and Losinj taking a ferry to Zadar where we changed to aferry travelling to Split. (Left Losinj early evening - arrived Split early next morning.
From here you could get to Dubrovnik and/or explore the islands of Hvar and Korcula. I'm sure there'd be an overnight ferry back to Trieste or Ancona to save time on the way back.
Very freindly people and recommend the Pensions.
Have a good trip!
