Your Kind of Escape in Croatia
Walled old towns on the Adriatic, islands linked by ferry, and turquoise lakes and waterfalls inland. Croatia suits travellers who want history and the sea in the same trip, with Dubrovnik and Split as natural bases on the coast.
I plan and book these trips for travellers across Canada, from checked destination information rather than a personal trip report.

A few highlights
Lakes and waterfalls
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a chain of turquoise lakes linked by waterfalls, explored on boardwalks and trails. Krka National Park, near Šibenik, is an easier day out from Split. The national parks
Walk the walls of Dubrovnik
A full loop of the old town walls gives views over the red roofs and out to the island of Lokrum. Go early or late to avoid the midday heat and crowds. Dubrovnik
Split, the islands, Istria and what to eat are on the same page. See the places
