Croatia
Croatia is like the girl in school who undergoes an Anne Hathawayan transformation over summer vacation. Come the first day of class, her peers can be heard murmuring “Who’s that girl?” No one is whispering about Croatia anymore, though. Some have outright called her the hottest new destination for young travelers. Others say Croatia feels like Greece before it was overrun by tourists. The point is, people are talking, and you don’t want to miss this boat.
Croatia has over 1,100 islands along its Adriatic coast, with pristine waters and beachside cafes. Costal towns like Split and Dubrovnik are filled with beautiful villas and cafes surrounded by olive trees. Spend some time in the mountains, dance it up in Zagreb or get downright medieval in Dubrovnik. But time is ticking. It won't be such a great deal for long with EU membership pending, so get it while it's hot!
Highlights:
Soak up some sun on one of Croatias few sandy beaches at Zlatni Rat on the island of Brac.
In the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik, visit the Rector's Palace, the Maritime Museum, and walk the wall for some beautiful Adriatic scenery.
Grab a bite to eat in Voloskl, home to some of Croatia's best restaurants – and some of its best sea views!
Head to Zagreb and visit the Mimara Museum the Museum of Arts and Crafts.
