Dubrovnik is set in a fairytale land, surrounded by huge walls, small harbours and ports and a rich history. The magitude of the 'old town' itself is stunning. The stone floor, to the fountains that seem to tell a silent story litter this historic place.
From the sunsets over the 'shack cocktail b…

My Lonely Planet guidebook said that there are still landmines in the hills surrounding Dubrovnik, for they have not been completely cleared out yet. Ask locals or to be super safe, stick to paved paths in the hills.

If you are taking the ferry north, buy your ticket ASAP, so many tourists traveling to Korčula and Hvar, the FERRIES SELL OUT!! When you buy a ticket for the "deck", the seating options for you are a small non-smoking area with about 20 tables with chairs, a smoking "lounge/bar" area, or the actua…

If you want to see more of Croatia, get a car hire in Split and visit all the places around. You can go to Zagreb or Dubrovnik (within a 3-4 hour ride).
Visit http://www.decodecarhire.co.uk. They have good prices and offer discounts.

If you're going to Croatia, you have to go to Dubrovnik. Its the most beautiful place to go. I could recommend a route: Split - Brac - Makarska - Dubrovnik (thats what we did. You can put in Hvar between Brac and Makarska if you have enough money. Although actually I can't remember if you can get to…

Be ready to exit the ferry! You will be in a crowd of people all running to get a space on the buses that go to Hvar town. The buses will be waiting at the dock when your ferry comes in. It cost 20 kuna per person (cash only, nearest ATM looked to be about a 20 minute ordeal as there is a shoppin…

A chartered boat cruise can be a great way to see Croatia, but be careful when making your plans. Early in 2008, eight of us chartered a yacht for a one-week sail along the Croatian coast in late April. We booked the boat charter through Navicula (www.navicula.hr) - a company we understood to be rep…

The E65 Magistrala from Split to Dubrovnik is a single lane coast road that serpentines its way along the rocky Croatian coastline. The road follows the coast making it possible to reach any attractive coastal village along the way.
The road quality varies a lot from stretch to stretch but improv…

If you are arriving into Dubrovnik by plane there is a bus that will take you downtown (it has about 5 stops, including one within a block of Old Town, one near Jadrolinija ferry terminal, and ends at the main bus station). It cost 35 Kuna, you need to pay in cash to the bus driver (there is an ATM…

Was there for business last week (9-12Oct). Very nice little city, but smmes to have cotton on to the fact that Eastern Europe doesn't have to be cheap. Paid £2 odd for a beer and was nearly charged £16 for a football shirt (a kids size i might add)...
There are some nice Irish pubs in the Old…

Driving the M 17 from Metkovic to Mostar was somewhat of an experience due to the Bosnian police.
The road is very beautiful following the Neratve River all the way from the Border to Mostar. The first part of the road; well less than 5 km is newly asphalted and the rest is quiet old.
After 10…

Well I am actually writing from a location for once, which tells you I have some free time. Granted I probably came at the worst possible time to Zagreb. It is summer, so everything is more expensive and most of the locals have left for the seaside. That being said, there are a lot of nice things to…
