I would definately recomend Croatia! Dubrovnik is great for couples in love and very romantic!
am Croatian, but I live somewhere else. My family comes from Split which is on the Dalmatian coast. I have travelled a lot and have lived in quite a few countries, I must say that Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries out there.
What you will find on the coast is lovely sea, perfect climate, nice people. Dalmatia and Istria have the obvious Italian influence, the architecture is beautiful and looks like any southern Italian village or southern France.
There is a lot of old churches and monasteries as well as fortresses left from Roman times. A lot of history there.
Food is amazing, mediterranean cousine and wine is very good. They are proud of their truffles which are expencive and not very rare.
Dubrovnik is considered the pearl of South East Europe. It was very developed and rich republic back in the renessance times and was the biggest trading partner with Venice. A lot of partying and entertaining was happening back in those days.
The north of Croatia is lovely too and has the Austro-Hungarian influences in architecture but in culutre as well. Dalamatians are known to be more easy going whereas the rest of the country has faster way of life.
It is great to see that in the north there are lovely mountains so you might as well make the mistake that you are on the Alps in Switzerland. Very pictures nature.
The islands are just a party time all over durring summer. You could check out Hvar if you are up for partying.
I would recomend you not to miss Dubrovnik, Split and Zagreb as well. All these cities/towns are very hip, cultural and have an amazing mixture of old traditions and history with all of the perks of modern living.
In the last five years Croatia has been on the top 5 of most hip palces to go vacationing. Most of the famous celebs come durring the summer to relax and party: Naomi, Michael Douglas and his wife, Madonna, The Royal family of Denmark, as well as a lot of other Royal families (I often see their lyxurious yachts) these are just to name a few.
I guess I love my Croatia, there are more than plenty of reasons to do so ! lol
Best of luck to ya, I can assure you that you will have a great time!
Yep, I live there
I would recommend going to Dubrovnik. It is a beautiful place, probably the most perfect town in the world (imagine Venice. Add beauty. Get rid of the smell. And voila! You have Dubrovnik!). It is expensive, but I suppose the price is not your top priority?
Near Dubrovnik you have many wonderful islands, like Korčula, Mljet. Mljet is also a natural park, truly amazing. Korčula – Have you ever heard of Marko Polo? Well, that`s where he`s from! The whole island has a very rich history; in fact, all of Croatia does
I would also recommend visiting Cavtat, a small town to the south, a very nice walk.
In Dubrovnik, if you see a wooden sign saying : Cold drinks with the best view, definitely follow it! There is a tiny cafe (actually, a couple of tables on the rocks), just between the walls and the sea. The view really is THE BEST! (It`s somewhere at the bottom of the map I put in the links.)
I would find the rest of the links but it`s really not that hard and I have to go to sleep… so… Good night!
p.s. if you like art: the painter Vlaho Bukovad was born and lived in Cavtat, there`s a house with a charming little museum there, too.
