first visit to croatia, solo adventure traveller with 11 days between DBV and ferry to venice

hello all,
I have 11 nights/10 days in later june, starting in Dubrovnik and ending on a ferry to Venice. I am looking for a quiet relaxed trip. i like to spend time hiking, paddling swimming eating nice meals, loitering in cafes. Im not a party animal! heres what i have in mind:
3 nites Dubrovnik (i arrive 7pm the first night straight from US via LHR, eg jetlag)
catamaran to korcula: 2-3 nights. (day trip to Mlijet? possible?)
catamaran to Split: 2-3 nights
rent car, druve to Plitvices NP 1 night, lots of hiking
druve to Istria peninsula ( either Pula or Rovinj) 2 nights
ferry to Venice on day 12 early as possible

how that sound?
here are my questions
: is Dubrovnik worth 3 nights/2 days? ive heard it is terribly crowded and overrun with ticky tacky tourist schlock (i live in San Francisco and was told its like Fishermans wharf - ugh!
: should i spend 3 nights on korcula and 2 in Split, or vice versa?

: accomodation recommendations in korcula (ill be taking catamaran and walking from the dock unless you tecommend otherwise)

: accomodation recommendation in Plitvices?

: for Istria, Pula or Rovinj? i need to be on a ferry to Venice the morning of July 1.

thank tiu for any and all suggestions... im getting a bit blur wading through booking.com...
