My wife and I will travel to Croatia for 8 nights during the second week of Mar, 2020. It's our first trip there. We will be arriving from Istanbul and flying out to Athens.
We're in our mid 50s and want to rent an apartment(s) to soak up Croatian culture - shopping in local markets, learning Croatian cuisine, etc. We don't need, nor want, to run around ticking a bunch of touristy items off a "to do" list. However, we'd like to do a few day trips.
We envision having one home base for 8 nights, or maybe 2 for 3-5 nights each. I haven't looked yet, but it may be difficult to find apartments that will book for less than a week???
To minimize time and effort spent relocating, we're looking at Split, Dubrovnik and/or a Dalmation Island city. I think we can only reasonably do 1 or 2 of the 3. My guess is Dubrovnik and Korcula or Split and Brac or Hvar.
We can fly direct into DBV (2h) but not direct into SPU (5-6h). Likewise, we can fly out of DBV directly (1.5h) but not out to SPU directly (5-6h).
Any suggestions? Any suggestions for a home base city on one of the islands?
Cheers, and thanks in advance,
Bob from Vancouver
