Slovenia, Croatia 21 days-help with itinerary
today, 20:52
Hi all

We are in our 40's, a couple and active and are planning a 21 day trip through Croatia, Slovenia and maybe Bosnia....the only firm plans so far are meeting another couple on Korcula May 27th.. We will fill in what we want to see later-just planning general route and overnights now

Here is what we were thinking....

May 21st-arrive late Dubrovnik -get car- stay in Cavtat

May 22nd-wake up at leisure, explore Caveat am then drive to Mostar-night in Mostar

May 23rd-am explore Mostar-go to Sarajevo -night in Sarajevo

May 24th -explore Sarajevo -night in Sarajevo

May 25th-drive to Kotor -night in Kotor

May 26th-explore and beach-night in Kotor

May 27th-head to korcula-meet friends

May 28th, 29th, 30th, stay in villa , beach, day trip to Miljet, relax

May 31st-head to Dubrovnik with friends via peninsula -wine tasting also night in Dubrovnik

June 1st-explore Dubrovnik, night in Dubrovnik

June 2nd-head to Split-see Palace-night in Split

June 3rd-head to Pilvtice with stops en route-night near park

June 4th-explore park early, head to Rovinj-Night in Rovinj

June 5th-explore Istria-night in Rovinj

June 6th -head to ljubljana-overnight there

June 7th-explore ljubljana

June 8th -head to Bled-overnight there

June 9th-julian alps maybe overnight Bled or somewhere else

June 10th -explore am-night in London for flight

June 11th-early flight home from London

So this is rough. I would love some feedback on i) is this too tight/loose? ii) places to visit en route iii) I was thinking of trying to fit in Budapest-can you see room? iv) should we make all reservations ahead of time or do you think there will be flexibility to still find nice places as we go. We are fairly picky with where we stay and like local places with character-mid range price wise.

Thank you so so so much,

Where are you flying home from? Since you are picking up your car in Dubrovnik, you will want to drop it off somewhere in Croatia. Based on your itinerary, I'd suggest driving to Zagreb on June 10th and flying back to London from there.

Overall, I think your itinerary makes sense, although you'll be doing a lot of driving that includes a fair amount of backtracking. You'll also have a car on a lot of days when you won't need it and taking it on a car ferry to and from Korcula.

Are your overall dates locked in? Have you already purchased your flights? If you have flexibility with that, you might be able to figure out a better plan, but if you are locked in to your dates, I think you've got the best plan you can do without cutting out some destinations. And if that is something you can consider, and your dates are firm I would drop Istria. Then I'd do something like this:

May 21-26: time divided between destinations on the Dalmatian coast as you see fit (Split, Dubrovnik, Cavtat, Kotor).
May 27-30: Korcula
May 31: Mostar
June 1-3: Sarajevo
June 4: Plitvice
June 5-9: Ljubljana/Bled/Julian Alps

Itinerary is good, what would be an option on the road from Sarajevo to Kotor, one night you can spend in Trebinje. You will be a short ride and accommodation is favorable than in Kotor. In essence, do not lose anything, only one pit stop to Kotor, which will probably appeal to you after the Bosnian interesting roads.

Good luck !
