Hello!
I will be visiting a friend in Budapest late May and plan to spend about a week in Croatia. First stop will be arriving in Zagreb via bus for two days. From there (and I will be relying on public transport) I would like to wander around Istria for the remaining five days. The question is should I stay in Pula for the entire time or Rovinj? Or divide my time in half? I see a bus ride is around 40 minutes to either city so day trips would be possible. The last day of travel will return to Zagreb and then back to Budapest from there.
My modus operandi is to enjoy my time, get to know the local culture and cuisine and generally take it easy. Having strict itineraries is not my style, and I like to just roam freely.
Maybe meet people! Is there a different between the two seaside towns in attitudes towards American travelers? I've heard Croatians are very friendly!
This being said, I am a single woman in my early 40s if there are any of you gals out there who have any special advice.
Thanks to you all!
