The Travel Aspect
Traveling between places can also be part of the experience. Some opt to go by bus or taxi to get around. For backpackers out there, walking or even hitchhiking is perfectly fine as well. These methods can get you to your destinations while also saving a bit on funds.
If you really want your trip to be incredibly memorable, you may want to try renting your own vehicles. Cars, for example is a reliable and still affordable option. It can give you privacy and the mobility to go anywhere you want. For those wanting to traverse through the Adriatic Sea and the islands it has, boarding a gulet cruise (sailing vessel) can also be a great option. There are varieties of gulet cruise packages available that travel to the many islands and coastline destinations in Croatia’s waters.
