Old Dubrovnik, Croatia
Continued from Bosnia ...
This was my second time visiting Croatia (my first time was in 2006), and I can definitively say that they are many more tourists in 2023 !
Leaving Caplijna in Bosnia, we took a taxi to Ploče (Croatia) and a ferry to Trpanj to end our first day in Orebić. We spent 5 days on the island of Korçula (a 20 min. ferry ride from Orebić). Finally, we spent our last three nights in touristy Dubrovnik.
Dubrovnik is undeniably stunning with boasting medieval walls, terracotta-roofed buildings, and breathtaking views. However, its beauty comes with the big downside of overtourism. The city's popularity has led to very crowded streets and tourist-heavy attractions (like the city wall), detracting from the authentic experience.
