Must-See Places and Accommodation in Croatia
Hi Lisa! Croatia is a beautiful country with a rich history, stunning natural landscapes, and a vibrant culture. With only a week to spare, you'll have to be selective, but here are some recommendations to make the most of your visit:
Split
Since you'll be arriving in Split, it's a great starting point. Split is a charming coastal city with a well-preserved Roman palace, the Diocletian's Palace, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend some time wandering through the winding streets, visit the Cathedral of St. Domnius, and enjoy the local cuisine and nightlife.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Must-See:
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a true gem of Croatia, renowned for its breathtaking waterfalls, crystal-clear lakes, and lush forests. It's about a 3-hour drive from Split, but absolutely worth the journey. Plan to spend at least a full day exploring the hiking trails and taking in the natural beauty.
Dubrovnik
No trip to Croatia would be complete without visiting Dubrovnik, the "Pearl of the Adriatic." This historic walled city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a popular filming location for shows like Game of Thrones. Stroll along the iconic city walls, explore the charming Old Town, and soak up the Mediterranean atmosphere.
Accommodation
Must-Stay:
For a truly unique experience, consider staying at a traditional Croatian villa or agriturismo (farmhouse accommodation) in a picturesque rural setting. Not only will you immerse yourself in the local culture, but you'll also have the opportunity to sample delicious homemade cuisine and locally produced wine.
Remember, with a rental car, you'll have the flexibility to explore at your own pace and potentially make stops along the way. Don't hesitate to ask locals for their recommendations, as they often know the hidden gems.
Enjoy your trip, and feel free to reach out if you need any further advice!

Hi everyone! Travel recommendations required... My family and I are travelling to Croatia in July. We will be in Italy for a week and then plan to take the ferry from Ancona to Split and spend a week in Croatia before flying home. We will likely have a rental car. I'd like to know your 'must see' (places) or 'must stay' (accommodation) recommendations - I realize that we will only be able to get a taste of the country in that short of a time, but better that than nothing! Thanks in advance. Lisa
