I'm heading to DBV Aug 16-20 and SPU Aug 23-27. Hvar Aug 20-23, but open to alternatives.
Yep, going into the belly of the beast in high season. No talking the wife out of going a bit later in the season, so here I am. She likes the heat, beaches and being on the water. We have a number of on the water excursions planned, also wine and food tours. First time visitors to Croatia and want to hit our must see's in the event we do not make it back this way. If we like it and make it back, then we will go more off the beaten path. We are in our 50's and plenty of energy, but don't like moving locations to often.
- Looking for recommendations in Dubrovnik and Split outside the tourist zones for a more authentic restaurant experience that we can get to via Uber. We are staying in Old Town and Diocletian's Palace.
- We are staying at Airbnb's in Dubrovnik/Split locations, so looking for local gyms close to those areas for a day passes.
- Looking to attend a football game or water polo match. Went to HNK Hajduks website but no schedule as of yet that I could find.
- We have hotel reservations at The Adriana in Hvar but we are open to other Islands towns. Looks pretty rowdy in the Hvar Town although very beautiful. We are in our 50's and thinking it maybe a way younger, rambunctious crowd. Not a deal breaker though since we are pretty social ourselves. My wife would like a place with a pool and/or close to the beach, if possible, but we still like to have some choice of restaurants to walk to. Looked into Korcula. We do like to be in a town with some life though, but don't know of other good options.
Thanks, Hank
