Croatia Montenegro Itinerary Help

Posted by (Westborough, MA) on

Hello, planning a two week Croatia Montenegro itinerary for next summer, having been to Croatia (which we loved) a couple years back wanted to minimize time in Split and Dubrovnik and spend more time on island hopping with Montenegro added (where we haven't been). Would flying in and out of Dubrovnik make any sense to allow this efficiently? Or flying into Split and out of Montenegro work best? Did want to do both Hvar and Korcula, plus probably one other island in Croatia. Realize most say do one or the other, but we loved Korcula and want to see Hvar.

So one option being
Split (1 night)
Hvar (2 nights)

Korcula (3 nights)
Another island TBD (3 nights)
Dubrovnik (1 night)
Montenegro. (3 nights)

Thanks for any advice!

I'm not a huge fan of Split, Dubrovnik yes, the islands mas o menos, so I leave Croatia to you. Montenegro, if you give it 4 or 5 nights, for some makes them ask why they wasted time in Croatia. Just to see Kotor is barely worth the effort. I will send you a PM.

We flew into Dubrovnik, headed straight to Kotor for a few days via private driver, then headed to Korcula for a short stay en route to our main destination of Lastovo (loved it!) before returning to Dubrovnik for a short (Dubrovnik and Korcula were repeat visits). Trip was slightly shorter. The backtracking was a bit inefficient, but we accomplished what we wanted.
If you are set on revisiting Hvar, I’d definitely fly in or out of Split.
Kotor Bay area was interesting, but I’d really like to get to the mountains. Mr E can sell you on that.
