CROATIA
Best Time : May to June and September for warm weather without peak-season crowds; July to August for the liveliest island scene.
The Adriatic's Best-Kept Secret
Croatia is where medieval old towns meet impossibly blue waters. Dubrovnik's ancient walls, Split's Roman ruins, and the island-hopping possibilities of Hvar and Korčula make this a coastline unlike any other—equal parts history and hedonism.
