Went there on my holidays last summer with the missus. Flew into Dubrovnik and island hopped from there to Korcula, Hvar and then over to Makarska via Split. Makarska was a kip and i'd avoid it at all costs. Korcula was really quiet and nice for just relaxing all day down by the sea, but Hvar was the party island. Only this is, its expensive to eat and drink there. Dubrovnik was also quality and had a few good spots for partying. All in all Croatia  |

| Spent a month travelling around Craotia about 4 years ago. Nice country, some really beautiful areas. Dubrovnik is very good although pretty expensive. Split is probably the best city. My advise would be to stay away from Zagreb, absolute dump was supposed to spend 4 nights in it ended up leaving after the 2nd night. |

| I travelled all over Croatia, even went to Medjugorje (our lady appeared there) for a look - beautiful scenery - clear water - not as cheap as you would imagine - you can take a day trip from split to Venice which is well worth it. |

For a lads holiday I would recommend split. I've also heard great things about hvar which is about 30 mins on a ferry from split. Partied like crazy in split a few years back. Nightclubs/bars on stilts overlooking the beaches were open to 6 in the morning. Had great time with friends from Bosnia and Croatia. The Croatian women are gorgeous. a local lass who was going out with one of the lads was telling us that if ya watch them they are constantly checking the lads out to see if they are marriage material. Honestly she said they were brought up thinking they had to find and marry a rich fella. Highly recommend it... And if ye go then I recommend he head to the flintstones restaurant...its way up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere but its some experience. Google it

We're doing a bit of inter-railing in July and going to Croatia for that, only €50 for 2 day tickets and a mate was in Hvar last year and said it was unreal! ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

Loved Croatia, went with my brother a few years ago and would of the most chilled out relaxing holidays I have ever been on and loved every bit of it.
Except for the poor Ozzie guy who was suffering with depression and was abused by his father in the bush in Oz and was travelling around Europe to escape from. Decided to follow me and hang around with me for an afternoon and the only thing that got rid of him was the Armagh V Tyrone all Ireland Final. Pat Spillane was right after all. ------------- AKA pedantic kunt |

Love this part of the world. Hvar is the party island if you're looking for boozing - Dubrovnik too but a lot more expensive. Have a look at Budva, Montenegro too - bout 90mns in a shuttle from Dubrovnik airport, much cheaper, great beach, great nightlife, and full of Easter European holiday makers (lots of yummy Polish/Russian ladies) |

| We stayed on an island called Mljet for a couple of weeks . Went there cos we seen it on one of these top 5 islands to see list jobbies . It's near enough to Dubrovnik for flying in and out . Tiny place ye could cycle around in an hour or two . Ye would see the B&B/restaurant owner out fishing for your dinner during the day . Quality spot but probably not if your goin for a session . |

If you can afford it, spend a night in Venice. I had great craic the one night I was there, although that was probably only cos I spent it in a hostel and ended up drinking with some hot Australian girls. Not that I have much against day trips, but the place isn't a theme park. Apparently the population drops over 50% at night. -------------

Any good Irish bars? Do they serve chips? Can you watch Liverpool? Don't mind foreign birds, can ya pull a mot from Inchicore? ------------- Greed has won, big finance has won.

| Zadar is a lovely spot. It’s like Dungarvan but sunnier and marginally better for a perv. The old town is really nice there. |

Great spot BSM. Id recommend to book a boat over to Mljet. It's a cracking island altogether with zero to no cars. You can rent bikes and get around the whole thing quick enough. Some spot, the whole island is a UNESCO world heritage site. ------------- l hear you are a racist now, father ? |

We based ourselves there for 5 nights in May. Lapad very well served with bus in and out of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik itself is a great spot, some excellent places to eat especially. It is expensive but most of the things to do can be done in a day or two. We went to lokrum for a day, Mostar and did a day trip to Monetenegro. ------------- Beidh lá eile ag an bPaorach |

We only really spent the day walking around the stalls and watching the lads jumping off the bridge. The bridge is a big draw. Bosnian and Herzegovinian (make sure to mention both!) food and coffee are class in my opinion. From being over for the play off, Sarajevo had a lot more to see and do, walking tour, historical sites etc. ------------- Beidh lá eile ag an bPaorach |
