Hi- Croatia is great. And once there, it isn't too expensive. The flight (from SFO) was close to $2K (ouch), but I used frequent flyer miles. The boat was ~$200/day/person and that included all meals. Seemed like a very economical way to travel. You could rent a car for the mainland and take ferries to the islands. But I really think the chartered boat is the way to go. In terms of islands, Hvar is a must see. Mjlet is another not to miss. You'll want to go to Dubrovnik as well. You might want to check into going in March. I think many things are seasonal and summer oriented and may not even be open in the winter. cheers, Tracy

Hi Tracy, I was looking online for comments about Croatia. Myself and some friends were planning on going there this summer in July. We are around your age and were wondering if the islands (like Hvar, Korcula)were full of spring breakers or if anyone would feel comfortable there? Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Hi Tracy! first off, your trip sounds amazing!! I am a college student and would really like to visit the Dalmatian Islands next March for my spring break. What islands do you recommend I visit? How is airfare to get there? Are there other ways of getting from island to island other than on a chartered boat? Money is kind of tight, so are there inexpensive places for me to stay? What are specific sights you recommend I see? Sorry about all the questions!
