Hi fellows,
I decided to spend my wedding voyage in Croatia, I am still working at the itinerary .
I will go there after the 20th of September (this is my wedding day), and I think I will spend some 10 days there, plus 2 on the road. I will go from Cluj, by car.
Do you guys have GPS coordinates for different objectives in Croatia?
I am thinking to see some of the following:
ZAGREB - this is not mandatory, but since it is the Capital of Croatia, I think it would be nice to see it...
-Cathedral of St Stephen and of
the Assumption of Mary.
-The Archaeologic Museum
ISTRIA - This is a MUST
Rovinj – Grisia – The place where the artists meet (it is a plazza)
Novigrad – the defence walls
Porec – St Euphrasius Church – byzanthine church,VI th century - MUST SEE

Peljesac – Wineyards? I definetly want to taste some Croatian wine and bring back for my father some wine, as a present
NOW... I know this is a long list and it is impossible to do that in 10 days. This is why I wrote it here, in order for you guys to help me choose the most interresting objectives.
From the start, I want to inform you that we are not crazy about sunbathing (at least I, can't speak for the wife), and due to the time of year we plan to go there, we will stick more to the cultural-sightseeing part of the trip. We plan to go in an area, get accomodated, and than, for 2-3 days visit what's to visit in the area, and then go in another area and do the same.
We plan to find accomodation on site, at private accomodations, maybe in small villages, where I think it is possible to find cheaper and more culturally-interresting places to stay. Especially because that time of year is Off-season, and i don't think it will be a problem to find places to stay.
Ok, I finish now my epistle . Anything you have to comment abouthe the above written... please do (in a helpful, constructive manner).
