A Charming Retreat on the Adriatic Sea.
——-
We thought it might be fun to review Dubrovnik, Croatia (Please see the above video) a warm & historic destination that you might want to include in your plans this Fall. The country of Croatia is one of our favorite European journeys. We have had the opportunity to travel here in 2015 and then again in 2019.
At the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, its coastline runs along the Adriatic Sea. The major cities such as Zagreb, Dubrovnik, and Havar are well worth a visit since history and unique architecture are everywhere. Dubrovnik was the main filming location in Croatia for King’s Landing, a fictional city in “The Game of Thrones” a famous HBO television series.
English is commonly spoken throughout the country, but we still found it to be broken and a little challenging to communicate. If you do travel here the local cuisine is sure to include fish, and fair warning their concept of beef is likely to be a strain to an American palate. The small seaside villages and towns scattered up and down the coast offer all the European charm one could anticipate. Compared to Italy; however, which lies right across the sea, you may find locals are little standoffish. After all, this is a national that just went through a war for independence in the 1990s.
