We loved Croatia, espcially the Dalmatian coastline. Many islands, nice little waterfront towns. And Plitvice is very beautiful. [links]

I will be visiting Dubrovnik, Croatia for a friend's wedding next July - I am planning to arrive in Dubrovnik 2 days before the wedding to attend a pre-wedding dinner, but aside from that, I wanted to get ideas on potential itineraries. Not many of my friends have been to Croatia, so I'm trying to get an idea of how long to spend in each city, other cities to visit (I'd like to visit a few more cities while on the trip) - I was thinking potentially Greece or Italy, as I haven't been to either. I have approximately 2 - 2.5 weeks to work with.

Or there's a ferry from Istria (Pula, Rovinj or Porec) to Venice. Or from Piran in Slovenia to Venice. Always good to go to beautiful Venice -- though it's crowded in July. You could fly home from there. [links]

Instead consider spending some time in Slovenia. I wish we could have made it there on our trip to Croatia. [links]

Deciding whether to visit Greece or Croatia can be quite the challenge: both countries are home to crystal-clear water, interesting cultural highlights, stunning scenery, and tasty cuisine–and they both happen to rank among our ten favorite countries on the planet to travel in.

You can visit several as part of a Greece road trip, which is a great way to explore the mainland.

Large Greek cities like Athens and Thessaloniki can be called many things, but “pretty” is not a word that tends to come to mind. more

You can even snorkel or kayak through the crystal clear waters, and if you want to take a swim, just make sure you take a few minutes to play “Marco Polo”, since Korčula is where he was born :) here

I didn’t know Croatia is that beautiful! Based on your pictures it truly is such a beautiful place. Those old medieval structures are truly breathtaking! I can’t wait to finally visit. I thought those GOT locations are the only attractions in the country but clearly there are so much more. I’m super excited and I hope to visit very soon.

Welcome to Croatia’s capital city! From the gorgeous parks to some of the best food you’ll ever taste, and everything in between, Zagreb is totally worth a visit. The cobblestone streets and medieval architecture are like nothing you’ll see in the rest of Croatia, so make sure you make time for a walking tour and a good wander around Old Town.

Krka National Park is a beautiful stop on your way to Split. The stunning paradise is known for its waterfalls and nature trails, so make sure you get there early to avoid the crowds and get uninterrupted pictures. more

The best way to explore Croatia is with a car! By renting a car, you’ll have the freedom to stop whenever you want, visit places off the beaten path, and even stop on the side of the road for a quick dip in the crystal clear waters you’ll see along the road.

If you are only planning a one week Croatia itinerary and want to make the most of your time, you need to be able to optimise your transport so you spend more time sightseeing and less time in transit.

Spend one day exploring the Old Town and take the time to just let your feet wander and get lost. Walk around the harbour, stop in for a drink at one of the many seaside cafes, and even climb the bell tower of St Euphemia’s Church. [links]

While winters in Dalmatia and on the coast tend to be mild compared to that of other European countries, the north of Croatia — in places like Zagreb or the Slavonia region — can expect to experience fairly heavy snowfall and average high temperatures that linger just above freezing.
