Looking into booking our honeymoon trip to Greece and/or Croatia in June 2019. Any advice for where we should go, what we should do, what we should see and what we should avoid? We will have 2 weeks for vacation.

The Greek islands are phenomenal, Santorini was my favourite. And you’re doing Croatia? Dream come true!
rent a car and go wild! Croatia for breakfast, Slovenia for lunch, and Italy for dinner!

I’ve been to Croatia a few times and have had the privilege to see most major cities in the country(my family is from there)! I loved Zagreb- it was by far the least touristy and cheapest city, there wasn’t a ton of English but the sites and the history was incredible. Plitvice falls were incredible, they are a series of falling lakes in the interior and are stunning! For islands, hvar is amazing but may be quite busy during the summer months
split is a nice historic destination as well, although a little more pricey and touristy, but worth seeing for a day! There’s also a ton of air bnb style accommodations that are cheaper with the option of a kitchen to save some money, but I loved the cheaper- hole in a wall restaurants that are more authentic. PM me if you want some food recommendations or other advice for Croatia!

We just got back from Croatia and it was incredible. We did Zagreb, Split, and Brac Island off of Split. Depending on what you’re looking for, I would mostly recommend Brac Island or one of the surrounding ones - I too have heard Hvar gets quite busy and is more touristy, but is one of the more beautiful islands. We stayed in Supetar at an amazing Airbnb that was super affordable and i would highly recommend it!
If you do go to Brac, you can visit a beautiful beach named Zlatni Rat as well as a hike if you’re into it named Vidova Gora. There’s also tons of isolated beaches as well that are super nice and great for snorkeling.

We just did Greece and Croatia, trip of a lifetime. We loved the Island of Naxos in Greece, and it wasn’t as expensive as many of the other Greek Islands like Santorini and Mykonos etc. Highly recommend. Croatia was our highlight. Loved Dubrovnik, but it is quite touristy and expensive, but still worth it. Then we did a 4 day 3 night sailing trip with HuckFinn Croatia...highlight of our trip by far!

Santorini !

Pula, Croatia was a gem.

Croatia, beautiful and far less touristy than Greek islands like Santorini. Lots of Croatian islands, coastal towns, inland national parks! Spectacular country

Split, Dubrovnik, Zagreb, Sambora

Blue Lagoon

Where is Blue Lagoon? Is this in Greece?

Croatia, reachable from Split by boat

Also Blue Cave which is further out in the ocean. Can be crowded

Blue Lagoon great for swimming. Dubrovnik beach is small but quite nice to swim as well.

Dubrovnik beach is called Banje Beach. It has change rooms, restaurants- clean, family friendly

Gurpreet thanks!!

I loved all of Croatia, and it is a short trip over to Montenegro which is also beautiful. If you are looking to island hop, I would head to Split right away and make it your base to hit up the islands. Keep in mind that most of croatia beaches are not your typical "sandy" beach. I'd go to Greece for that.

Ashley go to “Zlatni Rat” on Bol
which overlooks the island of Hvar. This beach is arguably Croatia’s best beach and constantly wins various international best beach awards.

Thessaloniki and Halkidiki Peninsula...super easy to drive. Rent car at Thessaloniki airport...no stop beaches on the peninsulas and so much ancient history in Thessaloniki...great walking city and transit is cheap and readily available. Greek people r warm and friendly

Non stop beaches

Do you mean Evia when you say Halkida peninsula?

I loved Bol, disliked Dubrovnik. Overall I found Croatia was really overhyped and actually preferred Greece. We sailed in Santorini on our honeymoon and I can’t recommend it enough. Santorinisailing.com
