Has anyone been to Croatia?

Has anyone been to Croatia?

I've heard Croatia has some of the most beautiful Mediterranean
coastline in all of Europe and I'd love to go there. Does someone have
some good recommendations about where to go and what to do?

During that whole thread I was wondering, "What is the Croatian word
for 'spam'...???".

OT - ish anecdote:

A friend of mine is a United Airlines flight steward, on a recent trip
to Paris the crew was in the van on the way to their hotel. One of
the stewardesses was a newbie, it was her first trip to Paris. When
they went by the Eiffel Tower, she said, "Oh, the Eiffel Tower! What
is all that scaffolding around it!?"...

Like Cathy + Bill, some people are better just staying at home...

Then there was the guy I knew who was a TWA steward, on his first
flight to London he wondered what the "odd smell" was in their hotel
room. Turns out it was a dead body under the bed...

I don't remember the name of the hotel, alas...

Flying has lost it's glamour...

Since everyone got all obtuse on you, I'll respond...

As ever, knowing what YOU like to do helps others give meaningful
advice. If the Dalmatian coast is your goal - do it! It's rather long
and you may want a car hire if you treasure privacy and flexibility.
GoogleMap or GoogleEarth the coast. At the southern extreme, Dubrovnik
inhabits a small island of Croatia-ness separated from the main
country by about 5 miles' worth of Bosnia. Once you cross Bosnia, it's
north to Makarska and Split.

North of that, the islands can be viewed from the beach or visited as
an off-coast adventure. While it is not near the coast and requires a
50 mile excursion inland, I think Plitvice Lakes is worth the effort.
You'll get to see the bucolic vistas of central Croatia as well as one
of the most beautiful nature hikes in all of Europe.

From Plitvice, you can head due west to Senj to rejoin your coastal
adventure. Then it's north to Rijecka/Opatija and on to the Istrian
peninsula. I haven't traveled Istria, so others should chime in on
that.

Croatia has been the "Next Big Thing" in European travel for good
reason. It's beautiful, it's quirky and it's still affordable. Of
course, the language is impenetrable, and you won't find smiling
hordes of English-speaking Croats happy to help you at every turn.
Croats aren't as stern as the Russians, but they aren't as friendly as
the Irish. Like many post-Soviet countries, don't expect much and
savor what little you do get in terms of human kindness.

That's my $.02. You can now go back to your regularly scheduled
bickering. Thank you.
