If you love Italy and Greece, you are going to love today’s destination! Tamara shares her two-week trip with her husband to Croatia. They visited Dubrovnik, Korcula, Hvar, Split, Zadar, and Istria for a mix of relaxation, food, wine, history, and cultural exploration.

Croatia is a lovely country to visit because it is very clean and one of the safest countries to visit in the world.

Unfortunately, it is also surprisingly expensive. It isn’t the “cheaper” Italy. You can see a full Croatia budget breakdown. Istria was less expensive than other parts of the country.

Tamara’s itinerary included:

  • 3 nights in Dubrovnik at the Rixos Premium
  • 1 night in Korcula at Aminess Hotel Korcula
  • 3 nights in Hvar at the Beach Bay Hvar Hotel
  • 1 night in Zadar at Hotel Bastion
  • 4 nights in Istria at the Hotel Meneghetti

You can find her full Croatia itinerary for couples here.

It is best to fly into one city and fly out of another. For example, fly into Dubrovnik and out of Zagreb. To get around in the southern Dalmatian region and islands, you can ferry hop to different islands. To visit the northern part of the country, it is best to rent a car.

Another option is to take a small ship cruise or yacht charter to explore the coast and islands that way.
