Original post
bonjour à tous je voudrais savoir dans quelle ville fo-t-il aller(en croatie) pour avoir de l'animation fin aout?
emilie
split ou dubrovnich avec une petite preference pour cette derniere... de toutes facon fin aout ya pas de soucis c'est une tres bonne periode partout en mediterrannée...
moi je pensais aussi à dubrovnik mais les hotels doivent ette cher la-ba? t'en connait un pas trop cher? ou une agence à me recommander pour commander mon voyage?
emilie
le complexe astarea a 8km de la ville. il y a 2 hotels dont un qui est pas tres cher. fram le fait et d'autres voyagistes egalement. il est bien. car ya des hotels qui sont pas cher mais pas top. celui ci on le vend bien en agence.
😉 il est dit " Au fil des ans, Korcula devient un centre touristique majeur en Croatie. " ; je n'ai pas visité cette ile mais je crains que les propositions Dubrovnik, Trogir, .... soient trop << patrimoine UNESCO >> pr être réellement des zones de fête ( j' ai visité ces villes " culturelles " mais n'est pas eu l'impression qu' elles soient " villes de fête "-je voyage en camping-car et suis assez sauvage ! - ) ; l'info vient du site http://www.linternaute.com/voyage/croatie/itineraire/ ; bonnes vacances !
Salut Emilie,
Pour ma part, je vais egalement en coratie cette été. Apres des heures et des heures de recherche, j'ai trouvé l'ile de Hvar, apparemment c'est une destination de malade! et Vu que je suis exactement comme toi, que je cherche la ville ou il y 'aura le plus d'annimation. J'ai enfin trouvé celle-la. Sur le documentaire "capital" il avait parlé de Dubronik, je pense aussi passé par la, pour voir comment c'est. Mais pour l'instant mes billets vont etre reservés pour l'ile de Hvar. Tu pars quand? Au pire je te donnerai mes impression a mon retour. Je pars debut Aout. Sinon, si tu veux vraiment, mais vraiment faire la fete, va à Lloret del mare. Franchement c'est une destination de dingue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A bientot ! Biz Cliff

Bref... moi egalement je suis tjr a la recherche des petite ville comme lloret, ke les gens ne connaissent pas forcement, et ou regne une ambiance de feu!
Alors moi jai pu discuter avec des croates et voila les destinations qu'elles mon suggeré :
Pula, Rovinj, Rabac, Pore?, hvar...
(en gros que des ville ke je ne connaissait pas!!!!)
pour ce qui est de mon voyage, je n'ai pas voulu passer par l'intermediaire de lastminuites ou autre compagnie de ce genre (pour une fois!) lol car tout simplement, tes dans des hotel pas tres pres de la ville, ou ki te disent a coté etc... donc finalement, nous on a tout pris separément billet davion 400 euros aller retour par personne et hotel 4etoile (on a eu un coup de charme) sur l'ile de Hvar a environ 600 euro la semaine.
Certe cela nous revien un peu plus chere qu'avec un organisme, mais bon, sur place on va louer une voiture pour bouger un peu partout...

Salut, pour te répondre j'ai déjà fais quelques une des ces villes :
Pula : C'est une ville assé petite, mais un bon compromis, car il n'y a pas que des touristes, et y'a de quoi faire aussi Rovinj : A mon gout vraiment trop touristique, donc les prix sont en conséquence, mais il y a moyen de bien s'amusé Rabac : Je ne connais pas Pore : J'ai adoré, une bonne ambiance .. et tt ce qui faut pour faire la fête ... Hvar : Jamais été, mais mon amie croate ma dis que c'est pas mal (prévu d'y allé encore cette année)
Sinon je peux conseiller Split, c'est une grande ville, beaucoup moins touristique (enfin pour l'instant) et vraiment sympa
Et si vous ne recherchez pas forcément à être au bord de mer il y a les villes à la frontière de la Bosnie et la Capitale Zagreb, tout deux avec des prix beaucoup plus abordable et l'ambiance ... mais pas de mer ...
Bonne soirée

Bonsoir,
Il a 4 villes : Zagreb, mais ce n'est pas au bord de mer Rovinj, très touristique, donc bouge bien, mais aussi chère que la code d'azur que ce soit pour le logement et pour les sorties donc cela depend de votre budget Split, moins touristique mais bouge bien ... Dubrovnik, super aussi, mais plus loin si vous y allez en bus/voiture, en avion très pratique un bon compromis entre tourisme et gents locaux ...

Bonjour,
Les prix sont en net augmentation d'une saison sur l'autre.
D'autre part je n'ai plus loué d'appartement sur Split depuis un certain temps.
Donc toutes les informations dont je dispose sont dans mes postes précédents.
Je suis désolé de ne pouvoir plus vous aider.
Codialement

Salut,
après avoir cherché pas mal de temps, la description que tu fais de Novalja m'a l'air adaptée à ce que je veux faire de ma semaine là bas lol par contre, j'ai plein de questions qui trottent dans la tete, comme: A quel aéroport faut il descendre pour aller à Novalja? ça n'a pas l'air super indiqué sur les sites ou je suis allé La vie est elle chère là bas en dehors de l'hotel? Prix de l'entrée en boite, boissons etc.. Est ce que tu as de bons noms d'hotel une fois là bas, à proximité des endroits ou ça bouge? quels prix également pour la semaine...
voilà si tu pouvais déjà m'éclairer sur ces points je te serais reconnaissant!! Merci.

Salut,
Je part avec 2 copains à Novalja ce WE, donc je peux te renseigner sur ce que je sait. Donc pour le voyage, c'est arrivée à Zagreb puis le car jusqu'à Novalja (http://www.akz.hr/En.htm) Après le prix, nous on verra sur place. Pour avoir une idée de l'ambiance, tape ZRCE 2008 sur youtube ou autre, tu verra un peu. Zrce est une plage branchée.

Les prix sont plus chers que dans des villes moins touristiques comme Split.
A titre d'exemple, si sur la côte d'Azur, vous allez à Juan les Pins ou Saint Tropez, vous paierez (un peu plus cher) tout dans l'ensemble qu'ailleurs dans la même région. C'est normal c'est lié au public qui fréquente. L'Istrie aussi c'est cher à cause des italiens. Ils ne fixent pas (comme les allemands d'ailleurs) comme priorité de ne pas payer cher; ils paient et préfèrent le service, la qualité etc...

Hello,
I’m looking for a snowy destination in Europe that’s accessible by car from Lille, not too expensive, and family-friendly. We have two kids aged 4 and almost 9. We don’t ski—we just want to soak up the Christmas vibe, go on short walks, and sled right outside our rental.
We’d considered Slovakia (the Tatras—but that’s 15 hours by car) or the Czech Republic (closer—Jizera Mountains, Korenov). We’re also hoping for some sightseeing (castles, monuments) and that festive Christmas atmosphere.
Do you think the Czech Republic would work for us for a week? Thanks,

Hi there,
We're heading to Crete at the end of September, staying in a hotel near Agios Nikolaos—Zeus Premium Mirabello Bay.
Has anyone stayed there before, or at least in that area?
What are the possible outings?
Are there buses to get around easily?
Is the weather still pleasant then?
Thanks for your feedback!
Hi there, the island of Limnos (or Lemnos) looks like a great spot for a September trip: not too many tourists at that time, plenty of hiking opportunities, beaches, villages, etc. That said, guidebooks mention an airbase on the island, with some sources saying there are more or less frequent aircraft flyovers. For those who’ve been there—how’s the situation with this? Lots of air traffic or noise issues?
Thanks in advance
Hi,
If you had to choose for a final week with fewer tourists to wrap up a trip in the second half of September: Skiathos, Limnos, or Skopelos?

I'm currently planning a trip to Cyprus for late October. I have a few questions:
- I plan to visit Nicosia, Paphos, and Ayia Napa. What do you recommend in Ayia Napa?
- Is it easy to get around by bus from one city to another? Or do you have any private drivers to recommend?
- Do you have any hotels to recommend?
Any tips or advice is welcome!
Thanks in advance
Hi! I'm torn between these two destinations. If we go to Crete, we'll probably head to the Chania region and the south, which seems wilder. With 10 days and a car, it should work out. If we choose Sardinia, we haven't figured out the exact area yet. We love hiking, swimming, and eating well. We have 10 days at the end of September and prefer to avoid crowds this year. In May, we went to Menorca and really enjoyed it—great hikes, beautiful beaches, good food, and not too many cars.

Hi,
I'm looking for a private transfer from Istanbul Airport to the historic center of Sirkeci. Does anyone know a company? I've found a few:
GetYourGuide,
Istanbultour24.fr (more interesting because they offer round-trip transfers at a lower price).
If you've used any of these services, I'd love to hear your feedback.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
We want to book our tickets to visit the Acropolis site and the associated museum. For these reservations, we need to specify entry time slots.
For the Acropolis alone: the first slot is at 8:30 AM. For the museum: 10 AM? 11 AM? We like to wander around, so here’s our question: if we haven’t finished exploring the site after 1.5 hours, is it possible to go back in after leaving the museum?
We’ll be buying tickets from the official websites—audio guides are mentioned. Any feedback on those? On sites like Get Your Guide, the prices are much higher with the audio guide included, but does that mean better quality?
Thanks for your help

Hello,
We're heading to Istanbul from October 7th to 12th. I’d love to do a dinner cruise on the Bosphorus on a more intimate boat (no show) with a private table and alcohol (wine, since it’s a birthday dinner). Could anyone recommend a reliable company (I’m not looking for a private yacht either) that organizes this kind of evening?

Hi there,
After booking an Airbnb last January for this summer’s vacation in Sarajevo... My "host" canceled our reservation without any reason—this has never happened to me before.
Of course, now it’s impossible to find a place to stay at a "normal" price in Sarajevo with parking... So we’re falling back on the capital of the Republika Srpska, Banja Luka, which had already crossed my mind before I booked Sarajevo.
I already have quite a few ideas in mind, without having dug too deep into the region yet. But if anyone has already been there and has suggestions? Even for restaurants—I’m all ears!
And even if it’s not right next door, I’m planning to spend a day in Sarajevo!

Hi everyone!!
I’d love to get your opinions and advice on a destination. It’s actually for my 19-year-old son who wants to go to Greece with his cousin, who’s the same age. They’re looking at leaving on October 24th for 7 to 10 days. For their trip, they want gorgeous beaches where they can swim, beautiful typical villages and historic cities, stunning landscapes, but also lively spots for their nights out. In short, they’re not just going there to laze around—they want to make the most of it...
But here’s the thing: will the weather be too iffy at that time, especially for swimming? Also, would Crete be the best choice for what they’re looking for? Then, a travel agent suggested Tenerife instead because of the weather at that time of year—he said the climate there is the same all year round. But will they find landscapes and beaches as beautiful as in Crete?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi there,
Our first trip to Greece as a couple. We're planning to spend 7 days in Greece from August 30th to September 5th. We'll reserve 2 days for Athens at the end of the trip. For the remaining 5 days, we want to visit an island—any recommendations? Thanks for your tips and details, we really appreciate it.
Hi,
What tips can you give me for dealing with a car rental scam attempt in Lithuania?
In our case, it’s the Avis-Budget agency in Vilnius trying to scam us.
We rented a car at Vilnius Airport for 2 weeks on July 28, 2019, to return it in Tallinn on August 11. We brought it back on August 11 at the airport, in perfect condition, and with a full tank at the gas station right by Tallinn Airport.
On the parking lot, the receptionist’s booth was closed. So we had to leave the car in the lot and go to the counter inside the airport. The person at the counter told us their colleague had gone for lunch! But they refused to come out and do the inspection with us because they were alone at the counter. They told us we could leave and that everything was fine!!!!
Two days later, we got an email from Avis-Budget with two invoices saying the car was damaged—scratched on both sides—and charging us for a full tank of gas. That’s two bills totaling 800 €!!!! Coincidentally, the deposit was 900 €!
It’s clear this isn’t over!! Have any of you been through the same nightmare? How did you handle it? Thanks in advance!

I’m spending 2 weeks in Crete in September and will need a rental car.
I usually go with Europcar, but comparing their offer to what Aegean Rentals has, I see Europcar is charging no less than 400 € more for the same car and similar insurance!
I’d love to hear if others have experience with Aegean Rentals, and if so, whether it was a good one?
Hi,
We’re heading to Greece in early October and will be staying in Kineta, north of the Saronic Gulf, and renting a car.
Is it feasible to visit Acrocorinth, Mycenae, Nafplio, and Epidaurus in a single day?
Thanks for your recommendations!
Hi there!
I’m sharing our itinerary for May/June 2027—23 days. This is our first time in Greece, so we’re starting with the must-see spots. We’re planning another trip later to explore the north, Thessaloniki, Macedonia, and some islands.
- Athens, 4 nights - Corinth area, 2 nights (Heraion of Perachora, Canal, Acrocorinth) - Nafplio, 3 nights (Mycenae, Epidaurus, Methana peninsula) - Gefira, 2 nights (Monemvasia) - Areopoli, 2 nights (Mani). Maybe add an extra night and stay on the peninsula??? Based on my calculations, the Mani loop is about 100 km—doable in a day, but it’d be a quick trip. - Sparta or Pikoulianika, 2 nights (Mystras) - Dimitsana, 2 nights (Lousios Gorge, monasteries) - Olympia, 2 nights (via Lagkadia?) - Delphi or Arachova, 3 nights (via the west coast, Galaxidi bridge) (Delphi, Hosios Loukas Monastery) - And back to Athens.
This is just a rough draft for now. We’re planning to stay in hotels or book through Booking.com. What do you think? Thanks for your feedback and suggestions!

Over the past twenty-five years, I’ve traveled the roads between France and Moldova a good ten times, sometimes via Central Europe, other times via the Balkans.
It was while traveling like this—what I call "hitting the road the slow way"—that I realized something simple: our neighbors' neighbors are very clearly our neighbors too. And that’s not insignificant.
Proof: https://etreounepasetrebretillien.com/2018/03/19/moldova-mea/ 🤓
After a break of a few years, I’m planning to hit the road again in September, this time heading to Kosovo, crossing through Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro.
Having gotten a bit older, I’ve no intention of rushing—no need to speed ahead of the music! 😄
I’d rather take my time.
I’m not looking to see everything, but to soak in the atmosphere of the places, always leaving room for the unexpected and for encounters.
I’m especially drawn to culturally immersive, authentic, and welcoming regions: lively villages, backroads, preserved landscapes, markets, local festivals, traditions that are still very much alive... and, why not, a few offbeat, forgotten, or slightly secret spots.
If any of you know Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, or Kosovo a little, I’d love to hear your suggestions for itineraries, stops, backroads, homestays, village festivals, or local contacts, for example.
Thanks in advance for your tips!

Planning to return to Belarus in mid-August, I just realized that since last September, Poland has reopened several border crossing points, and for buses, this means connections like Białystok-Grodno.
The official Polish page: https://granica.gov.pl/index_wait.php?p=b&c=t&v=pl&k=w

Several bus company routes, like on infobus.eu, take between 3 and 4 hours. Trains from Warsaw to Białystok take about 1.5 to 2 hours. This has the advantage of allowing comfortable train journeys with minimal time spent on a bus. Also, the Terespol-Brest border might have shorter queues if you still prefer a Warsaw-Brest bus.
Note that another route to Minsk, if you have a paper Russian or Belarusian visa, is the Kaliningrad-Minsk train. It’s long—around ten or eleven hours—but you can lie down and sleep. An option if you fly into Gdańsk and then take a short bus to Kaliningrad.
There are also Belavia flights from Minsk to Kaliningrad, but they’re expensive. The route is scenic:

In any case, this adds a few more options compared to what’s been available over the last four years.

Hi there.
I’d like to know what the daily budget is for Greece in December. I’ll be landing in Athens and staying there for a week, then heading to some other islands—I don’t have a set itinerary yet. Also, I’ve heard that in December, or early January, the temperature is around 11–16°C. Is that accurate?
Finally, does anyone have a good recommendation for a cheap but clean hotel near the tourist sites? I don’t need a TV or any other extras. Also, is Greece gay-friendly?
Thanks in advance for your replies. Best regards

hi
I’d like to know the opening hours of physical stores between Germany and Austria, and between Austria and Slovenia, that sell the PAPER STICKER toll vignettes that still exist for 2026—non-digital ones. I don’t think they’re open 24/7, and I can’t find the info anywhere. Thanks

Hi there,
We’re planning a 3-week trip in late September with our camper van to explore Bulgaria and Romania.
What routes would you recommend, starting from the South?
Is there an option to take a ferry in Italy, and is it worth it?
Thanks for all your tips!😊
Hi there, we’re a young couple and we’d love to go to the Blue Eye (Syri i Kalter) between today (26/06/26) and tomorrow (27/06/26).
Is anyone heading there and could give us a ride? We’re super friendly!
Thanks so much!
Maya and Sullivan

We're back. It's still a bit tough to get precise info, so here's a quick trip report!
A good starting point is Shkoder, a really pleasant city. You can easily explore Shkoder itself in a day or two.
Two accessible spots: Valbona and Theth. In both cases, local travel agencies in Shkoder or online offer round-trip or one-way access packages. Super handy, especially for Valbona.
Valbona and Theth are both very steep! There aren’t many easy hikes for less sporty folks (like me!).
Valbona: The highlight is the amazing 2.5-hour boat ride across Lake Koman. There are day trips from Shkoder, but you’ll only get a short tour of the lake. The best option is to do the full crossing—so spend a night in Valbona (or two if you want to hike in the valley) and return.
Theth is deeply nestled in the mountains. The village at the end of the valley, which is a dead end, has lots of hotels, but they’re pricey. Other hostels are scattered along the mountainside road, but it’s a steep climb down to the village or to the start of the two easy hikes (waterfalls and the Blue Eye). For us, it was a one-hour descent (and ascent!). It’s fine if you have a car; otherwise, keep an eye out for a taxi (cheap) or try hitchhiking—it works really well. Access from Shkoder to Theth is through an agency. The road is in great condition, and you can also rent a car for 2-3 days in Shkoder. If we did it again, that’s the option we’d choose.
We didn’t do the trek and returned to Shkoder each time. I can’t speak to its difficulty, but we were there in late May, and even experienced hikers had given up because of heavy rain and snow.
Hope this helps! It’s a stunning region you shouldn’t miss.

We’re a Canadian couple, both 77, and we’re already planning our vacation for fall 2027.
Timeframe: mid-September to mid-October... dates are flexible, and we might stay even longer.
Initially, I had planned this itinerary:
Athens (3), Naxos (4), Paros (4), Santorini (4), then a flight to Istanbul (7–10 days!!). This would let us maximize our flights and experience another culture.
That’s a lot of ferries, though... I’ve already cut out Milos.
Our second option would be to stay 2 x 15 days on two different islands, but I’d still keep Istanbul as our next destination... or maybe 30 days on one island that offers the chance to take day trips to other islands where the ferry ride is no more than 2 to 2.5 hours. For example, Naxos to Paros only takes 30 minutes. We could return the same evening or stay overnight.
Naxos seems like the best option!!!
For Istanbul, of course we want to do a day cruise on the Bosphorus and see Hagia Sophia. If we stay 6–7 days, what would be the other main attractions? Are there any points of interest we can reach by local bus?

Hi there!
We bought our tickets to Greece at the end of November 2025, and let’s just say the geopolitical climate has really taken a turn since then with the war started by the United States against Iran. Not to mention all the other conflicts happening around the world 😕... Anyway!
Our flight from Montreal is on May 1st, and I was wondering how things are currently being experienced in Greece.
We were planning to rent a car and had already booked accommodations on three Cyclades islands!!
The oil shortage is also worrying us...
If you could share some insights on this, that would be great!
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
