Croatia Travel Itinerary + Mostar & Kotor
Introduction
My wife and I spent 3 amazing weeks island hopping and road tripping our way through the Balkans. This itinerary is slow paced. It allows you to relax and not stress over if you have enough time to see and do everything. You can modify this itinerary to your liking. It highlights the main costal attractions of the Balkans coupled with some cultural trips into interior of Croatia and Bosnia.

Conclusion
This was one of my all time favorite trips. I believe that is in large part due to the pacing of the trip. I am a huge advocate for slow travel. It allows you to relax more and intimately get to know places. Even if you can not commit to the pacing of this itinerary, the places listed are still worthy of your time.
