Hello,
There will be myself, my partner and another couple with a car rental that will be traveling through these 4 countries. We will be going the last week of September, first couple of weeks October. I don't feel it is too rushed but please let me know. There will be two people who will be driving. Both feel pretty comfortable driving overseas. We will have a few days in Dublin before we start so jet lag will not be an issue.
September 21- land in Dubrovnik (late in the evening so head straight to our apartment)
-4 nights Dubrovnik- tour town, day trip to an island, celebrate my 50th.
-3 nights Kotor- pick up car rental the day we leave Dubrovnik. Would like to tour around the bay and possibly drive to the coast to
Budva
-3 nights Sarajevo- I recognize this will be a long day. Google states 5 hours so add a couple of more hours on that for stops along the way. The two people driving are very used to long days of driving and they said they are okay with this.
-1 night Mostar. Head out early and spend most of the day in Mostar.
-3 nights Split. Was originally going to head to Korcula, but some people said that by October things are winding down. Plus we will still have our car rental and I heard that some rentals aren't insured when you take the car ferry? Will take day trips from Split to one of the islands instead
-3 nights Rovinj. Day trips from here
-3 nights Ljubljana. Day trips to Lake Bled and surrounding area
-2 nights Zagreb. return the rental
I really would like to see Sarajevo so that is why we are going a bit out of our way to see it. Just unsure if I will be missing out on too much by not spending a couple of days on the islands (Hvar or Korcula). Do you end up seeing a lot if we spent the day on them? We do have a lot of coastal time. It was either a few days on one of the two islands or Rovinj. Reading about Rovinj makes it difficult to cut out though!!!
Thank you,
Kate
