Along the coast

Along the coast of Croatia are some places worth to explore: Pula with an old Roman amphitheater and the island of Krk, which reminded me of a pirate’s nest.

Travel Tips

Planning

  • I explored Croatia on a backpacking trip for two weeks when I traveled along the entire coast. I took the bus from Germany to Rijeka and made day trips to Pula and Krk. Then I went by ferry to Split and I made a trip to the Plitvice Lakes and the Krka National Park. The journey continued by ferry to Dubrovnik, where I made a day trip to Montenegro. After that, I took a bus for over 25 hours back to Germany. It was my second backpacking trip in 2014 and very spontaneous, next time I would definitely fly.
