Really? Please provide me with a reliable source that proves that and I will change it. Everything I can find says it’s Plitvice

Agree with the food being the worst and most expensive in Dubrovnik! I know what you mean about the herbs, but I don’t think they use coriander in their cooking much so don’t have it. Rob asked his AirBnB host and she said she had some – and gave us freshly cut continental parsley 🙂 I suppose it looks fairly similar.

Food was the most average and overpriced of our Croatian trip and crowds were overwhelming.
Worst supermarkets of Croatia too with very little in them and rude staff.
As for herbs, we deducted that the reason you don’t find them in shops is that they all grow them from their backyards/balconies/windowsills! If you looked around gardens you could see basil and coriander everywhere.

Not this year, but maybe in the future I would like to see some of this area in the off season. Firstly to see some of the places without the crowds, and secondly, how col would the waterfalls all look with icicles around them??

I think this year it was the worst it’s ever been since many of the nearby ports – mostly Turkey and Egypt – have been taken off the itineraries. Even at the end of September there were three or four ships in each day we were at the Old Town. I don’t have a solution, but those streets were not made for that number of people unfortunately!

Are you really going to go back in the winter? Will you be able to carry all the heavy and bulky greatcoats you’ll need?
