Croatia, Dubrovnik or Split?
|
|
Anyone been? Looking for a 4/5 day break and people keep saying Croatia is worth a trip.
If Mr Vlasic is on here maybe he can comment?

Both are lovely. Dubrovnik is nicer but smaller. You might be able to do them both in 5 days.

I was hoping to bed down in one of them for a few days, doing some sight seeing and find some nice restaurants. Don’t really need much nightlife.

Split is a good city in itself, gets quite busy in summer and a great base for boat trips out to nearby islands.
Dubrovnik is stunningly beautiful, gets absolutely rammed, and there are fewer nearby islands to visit so you’d be sticking more to the city itself. Staying at Cavtat, near Dubrovnik, is also a nice balance of good restaurants etc, boat taxis to Dubrovnik, but less crowded.

I am hoping to get to Croatia for a few days later this year, and I was thinking of either of these 2 places too and decided that Split looked the better bet. Also, Bilic is from Split so you might bump into him and can share a joint and a chat.

Just booked croatia for next week, staying around Bibinje and Zadar further up the coast. Its all good wherever you got. Hire a car, its very easy to get around outside the bigger cities

I went to the island of Brac when it was still Yugoslavia, 6 months later the war kicked off but was nice. It was full of tennis courts and German nudists though.

I'm lucky to have travelled quite a bit and I reckon Croatia is up in my top 3 places. Some fantastic cities such as Dubrovnik and Zadar. I have driven all across it and the scenery is stunning, the Krka waterfalls are beautiful, good weather, good food, nice beaches, some of their birds are 10/10's aswell.

I've got a day trip to krka booked next week.
Leroy - You're in for a treat mate - Pula is lovely. Do hire a car if you can, the whole of Istria is worth a visit, especially Lovren and Opatija - the austro-hungarian riviera.

Make sure to go to the Buza bar ('Hidden' bar outside the city walls on the cliff)
Amazing views of the sea at sunset. You'll have to google directions on how to get there as it's through a few passages in the city walls.

Was was in Pula for Nov and Dec and love it, beautiful place and lovely people. Probably heading back over at the end of May in the car to go touring with a lass i met over there. Going to drive down the coast and see the rest of the country, take a month or so whilst working.
