Yesterday we booked our flights to Croatia. We will be flying into Zagreb 5/21 and out of Dubrovnik 6/1. I'm trying to decide where to go and how long to stay in each place. My plans right now are to fly into Zagreb and drive to Plitvice Lakes-2 nights
Drive to Split and spend 1 or 2 nights.
Ferry to Korcula for 3 nights and then end in Dubrvnik for 4 nights. We will have a car the entire time. Not sure if I should add/drop a night from a city. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Without knowing how you wish to spend your time, I can only say that 4 nights in Dubrovnik may be a lot unless you are doing day trips.

I agree with yorkshire I am Croatian and have been there more times than I can count. You really only need 1-2 days in Dubrovnik. I would suggest dropping 2 days in Dubrovnik and going somewhere else for 2 days. You are interested in going to more islands I would recommend Hvar and Brac.

We would like to visit Motor and Mostar from Dubrovnik so that really leaves 1.5 days in Dubrovnik plus the nights.

That makes sense then. enjoy!

Mostar is a good place to see still lots of damage from the war and the bridge is very cool. It sounds like you will have a wonderful trip.

Could be a great trip!

So -- no interest in Zagreb itself?

For the Plitvice Lakes, many people find 1 night sufficient. YMMV.

Much as I loved Korcula, 3 nights there would have been a night too much for me. Again, YMMV.

If you can find a way to overnight in Mostar, I don't think you'd regret it. It is enchanting to watch the sunset over the gorge and Stari Most.
