Holiday in Croatia?

[MCFC Wirral]

Croatia doing a Blackpool and pricing itself out of the market?

Found Split very affordable. Great quality beer too.

I got a cab back from Hajduk Split’s club shop and the poor cabbie was trying to tell me things but his English was awful.

We have an air bnb booked for Lapad in June 2024.
Cannot wait to get there and explore Dubrovnik. Get in a day trip to either Bosnia or Montenegro too.

Went to Dubrovnik about 15 years ago. Stunning city. Hired a car and drove to Mostar in Bosnia. Well worth it.

I wasn't going to mention how expensive it is, but yes, it really is.

Its all relative though. Its expensive by comparison to most of Spain and Greece but cheap relative to the Italian and French Riviera.

Very true. At least It's not Geneva prices...

Also @mexico1970 - pricing out the riff raff ;-)

Went Dubrovnik a few years back

Wife lost half a finger when she went to sit on a chair, the chair was one of those metal chairs you see outside restaurants etc

They had not snapped it out right. As she shuffled the chair in it cut her finger off

Bad part was they don’t have insurance there

Even worse travel insurance only covers what they call limbs, so a full hand, arm, leg etc

Apart from that not too bad a place

Dead Kennedys new single!!

Loved Split would go back but definitely getting more expensive

Don't forget to pack a wife

Watching poor people eat puts me off my stella and pot noodles.

Had a fortnight on the island of Brac a few years ago and i must admit i was slightly under awed by the place.
Tivat/Kotor Montenegro on the other hand was very nice.

Been several times over the last 10 years, Dubrovnik, Split, around Istria (Porec) and last year to Zagreb and the Plitivce Lakes (stunning UNESCO site). Loved all these trips and only had one forgettable holiday there which was to Njivice. Over time, I feel the country has been gradually losing some of its charm in its relentless pursuit of tourist money but that's probably the same as most places in this respect.

I went to Makarska last summer with my wife and teenage daughter, fantastic place and felt very safe I saw no police around at all. Lots of places to eat out or just chill for coffee. We walked in to the the town every night for dinner and to watch the street entertainment. Spent a day in Split and the island of Hvar.

Been there, and can concur its clean and friendly. I would go again but the wife didn't like the rude Ruskies
