I’ve managed to extend my vacation from work for a week to let the trip breathe a bit more. The first itinerary felt a bit rushed. What do you guys think of this one?
**Aug 16 – Aug 18**
**Kotor**
Explore surrounding areas
**Aug 19-21**
**Žabljak**
Black Lake
Tara Canyon
Rafting Tara River
**Aug 22-25 Sarajevo**
**Aug 26-27 Mostrar**
**Aug 28-29 Dubrovnik**
**Aug 30-Sep 1 Hvar**
**Sep 2-Sep 4 Korčula**
**Sep 5-Sep 6 Split**
**Sep 7-Sep 8 Zadar**
**Sep 9 Plitvice Lakes and Zagreb**
**Sep 10 Fly Home**
This still seems fast, but not overly exhausting. I’m trying to get a healthy mix of culture, nature, dumb touristy party fun, and urban beauty.
Some questions:
1) Has anyone taken the ferry from Dubrovnik to Hvar? Is this something I need to book in advance in Late august? The ferry sounds like a much better option than the Bus.
2) I love the idea of renting a cheap car but the logistics seem complicated and expensive for border crossings. Ideally I’d love to rent a car somewhere in Montenegro and drive up to Sarajevo and drop off in Dubrovnik. Anyone have experience with this?
