Highlights or not
-
Rastoke: HRk 20 per person (creditcards accepted). Small old village built on top of a waterfall. Water is running right through the village.
-
Plitvice Lakes: HRK 110 per person (including train and boot inside the park). Parking HRK 70 per day or HRK 7 per hour. Beautiful park with blue lakes and many waterfalls. Definitely worth a visit. We parked at Parking 1 and walked from lowest lakes to the top. This way you always look up to the waterfalls which is a nicer view than walking the other way.
- Imotski Crater Lakes: there are two lakes. The Blue lake has a nice walk to a view point. Entry is for free.
- Dubrovnik: Very beautiful city. We loved the old city center.
- Dubrovnik City Walls: Although
expensive (70 HRK per person) a walk over the old city walls is great.
Escpecially just before sunset. The views are great and you get a nice
glimps on city life behind the walls.
-
Zadar Sea Organ: Nice city to visit. Relax at sea listening to the souds of the sea organ.
