My head is spinning with options and I'm trying to nail down an itinerary to start booking.
I am traveling in August in a group of 6(only backpacks) . I figured renting a car would be more economical than buying
public transport for everyone in the group. We are beginning in Dubrovnik and need to fly out of Split.
We have a total of 7 nights and want to squeeze in Plitvice Lakes.
Here is what I've drafted. Is there a better way to do this?
Should we skip the island overnight and just do a daytrip to an island? or stay along the coast instead?
Instead of daytrip to Mostar should we spend the night and travel from Mostar to Korcula next day?
Day 1: Tues-arrive @9am Dubrovnik airport. There is 1 cruise ship at port; explore town; sleep Dubrovnik
Day 2:Wed -2 cruise ships at port; rent car for early daytrip to Mostar? return and sleep in Dubrovnik
Day 3:Thurs- drive to Korcula via Orebic ferry? explore korcula; sleep Korcula
Day 4: Fri- explore korcula and then ferry to Split; sleep Split
Day 5: Sat-explore Split and then drive to Zadar; sleep Zadar
Day 6: Drive Zadar to Plitvice Lakes; visit lakes in the evening; sleep PL
Day 7: visit PL in the morning; visit Krka in the afternoon, sleep Trogir
Day 8: explore Trogir; drop car; flight out of Split @3pm
Day 1: Tues-arrive @9am Dubrovnik airport. There is 1 cruise ship at port; explore town; sleep Dubrovnik

Day 5: Sat-explore Split and then drive to Zadar; sleep Zadar
