how to make a route?
We are going to Croatia for 14 days in mid-August with 4 adults. We bought air tickets Kyiv-Split, Tivat-Kyiv (back from Montenegro).
Who has been to Croatia, please help to make a route!

There are already some preliminary sketches:
1st day
we arrive in Split, drive to the city and stay for one night in an apartment (in the morning we swim, in the afternoon we walk around the city, in the evening we take a ferry from Split to Rijeka)
2-3rd days
We stop for two nights in Rijeka (we swim in the morning, go to the island of Krk in the afternoon, return to Rijeka in the evening)
4-5 days
From Rijeka we go to Plitvice Lakes
6-7 days
From the lakes we go to Zadar (we visit two parks paclenica national park and telascica nature park)
Day 8
From Zadar we go to Dubrovnik
9-11 days
From Dubrovnik to Montenegro to Herzeh Novi
12-14 day
From Herceh Novi to Budva, from Budva to Tivat airport
What do you think? maybe something should be changed? what to remove or add? maybe something is worth spending more days on, and something is not worth attention at all?
We will be glad to all advice!

and the issue of transport is still very acute ... the route also depends on the availability of transport going from and to each destination.
where and from where should you go step by step?
We are very, very looking forward to any information!

I don't like this idea. At the root. With your car somehow, but also by public transport .. You will squander two weeks, get tired as hell and see nothing. You just won't be able to.
The beauties of Montenegro, actually real Montenegro, are not in the plans ..

Yes, and the main problem is crossing the border with Montenegro. How will you cross it? In your option, only a taxi remains, since it will be difficult to rent a car back.
Take care of this issue first. The ferry near Herceg Novy is also a problem. Walking is not allowed. Well, there is just a taxi there, or you can ask for a car or bus.
Without your car it will be very difficult to fulfill such a plan.

I can offer to share the pleasure. In one year Croatia in one Montenegro. You see .. well, these are not the countries that they could be seen so quickly. Painfully beautiful. Moreover, buses and trains run on schedule, which may not always coincide with your plans. And you do not take into account the time on the road.
But since you took the tickets, we will proceed from what we have.
So I propose to cut the stay first of all in Dubrovnik. A day is the maximum, but more .. well, what to do there. Walk around Dubrovnik and that's all. Then cross the border and blow straight to Budva. He will settle down and take excursions (exactly excursions are your salvation, because they are horseless) to the Bay of Kotor, Tara and Moraca Canyons (this is a MUST to see, you will like it). You can see the rest on foot. The Olympia Express bus runs along the Budva Riviera, and you can go wherever you want for Euro-2 from your nose. Be sure to see the old town in Budva, San Stefan, Przhno. By and large, you can take excursions to the same Dubrovnik. They are very inexpensive.
You do not forget the main thing - you are with luggage. Those. it is better to be based in one place and go to look around the district, then move to another and from there already ride around the neighborhood.

In!
Let's go like this:
You will already have three transfers to different hotels in a week. Well, let's stop there. On the 8th day, move to the Montenegrin side. Just a week per country. Straight to Budva or Becici (Young people are better off in Budva, it's more fun there) or Rafailovici. Lay out your things, relax and go to the embankment to see what excursions are offered. For a week you will go on excursions from the Montenegrin side and to Dubrovnik. And then by taxi (15 euros car) and to Tivat and home.
O!:-)

With Croatia, everything is very sensible for you. Montenegro was crushed :-)
There, on the spot, the bus schedule will slightly correct the route. But overall, it's like nothing.

Plitvica is definitely "worth a mass", but I wouldn't be torn if I had only public transport and suitcases in hand. I would have decided on the area of Split: not a village, but not Split itself. For example Primosten, Sibenik. I would "study" the territory adjacent to Split, including the Krka park, just enjoy nature. I didn’t go to Zadarr and Rijeka, I would prefer the nearest islands, but rather an individual boat trip (like a picnic) to a lonely island, for example, with a lighthouse. Renting a watercraft is not a problem from a boat to a superyacht. No city can compare with the 50 meters clear sea on an island with pines.
I would not only divide Croatia with Montenegro, but also the south of Croatia with the north, especially without a car.
Get tired and the pleasure will decrease from the gallop. So, once the tickets are bought. Then Split with the district, Then to Dubrovnik and Montenegro. And, if it’s really to Plitvica, I would prefer an organized local excursion - tourist information centers. Not easy public transport to Plitvice

Allow me your 5 cents.
1. I tend to think that you want to see two countries in one fell swoop. But sorry, it won't work! No matter how you make up your route, you get a very, very serious gallop - I tell you as a constantly traveling gallop. There are a lot of crossings in your route, in my opinion, not necessary. You leave some interesting places for the sake of others, similar ones, and drive 300 km for this.
2. Since you have already bought tickets, I recommend that you abandon Rijeka and Zadar altogether! There are around Split, and there are many places between Dubrovnik and Split. Which are certainly not inferior to paclenica national park and telascica nature park (and what are you going to watch in these parks?)
3. It is very dashing for you from Zadar to Dubrovnik. Please note that there are very frequent traffic jams on the section from Omis to Dubrovnik and the car travels the distance Split-Dubrovnik at least 5 hours! Buses in Croatia are very different - I managed to ride in only one "gas chamber" without air conditioning-Trogir-Split, but it's still fun! Although, of course, there are also modern ones with air conditioning. But how do you know in advance where you will end up? And most importantly, such a transit. Do you think there is nothing interesting?
4. No less famously Split-Rijeka. It's long and it's not clear why.

Good evening. Rijeka is not a tourist city, there are no apartments there!!! Contact us - we will help with transfer and accommodation http://dini-tours.com/
Keep in mind that the owners of the apartments do not rent out housing for 1-2 days during the high tourist season !!! there is no point, as they will lose the rest of the week. Public transport in Croatia is an amateur business.

5. I can think about this option for you (I don’t describe bathing for you - insert it yourself):
1d. Arrival, see Split, spend the night
2d. See Split + swim in Trogir, return, spend the night
3d. Bus from Split to Plitvice Lakes. There are definitely, friends went in 2011. But you most likely will not have time to see the park itself normally! There tickets are sold only until 16:00, as the routes are 3-4 hours long! You need to spend the night there, you can definitely take an apartment for 1 day, there are not spoiled hosts ;-)
4d. Inspect Plitvice and drive to Zadar. If Plitvice Lakes are important to you, then Zadar is worth a look. If you don’t go to Plitvice, then you don’t need Zadar either! See evening Zadar. Overnight there.
5d. You can stay in Zadar (see the islands of Pag and Nin). Shopping, for example. Stay overnight there.
6d In the morning you drive to Sibenik. There or see Sibenik and drive on. Or go to the Krka National Park. More modest than Plitvice, but there is one big advantage - a waterfall in which you can swim. And also an interesting route on the water to the monastery of Visovac, on the island, the views are just amazing! Overnight Sibenik or, if without KRK, you need to get to Split (it is very desirable to see Trogir along the way!)

7d. Split. Overnight in Split
8d. Split. Islands Hvar or Brac! Overnight on the island, for example. Or - if you have time to return (you need to read the ferry schedule), then spend the night in Split.
9d. Split, islands or beaches... Like a reserve day.
Day 10 Transfer to Dubrovnik. But still I recommend paying attention to the Makarska Riviera! In Omis, you can take rafting on the Cetina River for ridiculous money (if the price has not risen much ;-) Near Makarska National Park Biokovo is no worse than Paklenica, only a road leads to the mountains, there is an observation deck. In general, the Makarska Riviera is a place with sandy (rather, of course, finely pebble beaches). Rest of Croatia-stones.Overnight Dubrovnik
11d. Check out Dubrovnik. Moving to Montenegro. Herceg Novi. Overnight
12d. Herceg Novi and you need to try to ride along the bay - Perast, Kotor - a must! You will spend the night somewhere in the bay, you will find it on the spot.
13d. Budva. Overnight in Budva.
Day 14. Bathing near Budva. Taxi Tivat. Departure

In "my" version, there is more Croatia than Montenegro. Let me explain. Whatever one may say, you have a journey from Split to Tivat. Therefore, it is reasonable to look at everything in this gap and only then think about whether it is worth moving away from this line. And if Plitvice is a must for you, then it’s not at all clear why Tivat was chosen and if you don’t want to go to the north of Croatia. Therefore, Croatia is "more important" in the route.
If you discard Plitvice, Zada and Rijeka, then the maximum from Split to the north is Sibenik + National Park Krka (not to be confused with the island, which is much further north) - and then you can "shove" the rest of Montenegro. But, it is more difficult to travel by public transport in CG than in Croatia, although it is much cheaper. Cheaper and excursions to CG-distances are not big.
The cities of Croatia are much more beautiful than the cities of Montenegro and much cleaner - both the sea and in general. But more expensive - housing, food, transport is especially noticeable. Nature is pretty much the same. If you are in Biokovo, there is no point in going to the Czech Republic in Lovcen, for example.
In Croatia, there is an insane number of different-sized islands - you can both ride ferries-boats (public transport), or rent and sail to uninhabited islands - their darkness. There is no such thing in CHG.

And finally, all this is much easier on a rental car. If you drive, then take the car. If you do not drive and carry out such / similar route, you will be the hero of the forum. Second, please write a story/report about the trip. Very helpful, interesting. Both countries are amazing. Personally, I like Croatia much more than Italy!
Happy travels!

On days 7-8-9, I mean that you will sail to the islands, but don’t watch Split itself anymore. And on the 9th day you replace, for example, Makarska, Omis (rafting, sea), Baska water, something like that, on the way to Dubrovnik.

About housing for 1-2 days, they, of course, are not very happy. But those who did not pass for a week, and rent for a day. Who is looking for, as they say. But in this case, search for housing on the spot! This is extra time, but 100% check in.

And you know, maidens, I also want to visit Croatia like this :-) It is painfully attractive :-) Since instead of Tiland I plan to go to Venice for the carnival, next autumn I am going to the Adriatic as a savage.
So I am seriously considering the option of renting a taxi in Dubrovnik. Fly to Dubrovnik to rent a car for 2 weeks. Skate almost all of Croatia, move to Montenegro literally for 2-3 days, I have already been there, sunbathe, maybe even go to Zabljak .. and back to Dubrovnik, return the car and go home.
You can also Option: fly to Dubrovnik, take a car to drive around Croatia, then hand it over in Dubrovnik, move to Montenegro by bus and have a rest there for a week. Back through Tivat.
But in any case, I highly recommend that all "savage" tourists, before taking air tickets, draw up an itinerary. First, the route, completely ready, with a schedule of stay and with the possibility of renting a car, and only then tickets. Because there are many airports on the Croatia-Montenegro route, there are many options. Why put yourself in a rigid framework in advance?
All of the above in the topic, I dragged myself :-) Thank you all!!!

Hi all!
here we have arrived. everything was very cool!!
So here is my trip report:
flew into split and stayed for 2 nights. walked, potynyalis, bought. the city is so-so .. it's not worth staying longer. from the split we went to skradin through sibenik (it was possible to get there directly, but we would have to wait until the evening). in skradine we stopped for 1 night. in the morning we left our things at the reception and went to the krka park. the park is very beautiful, the waterfalls are the bomb! bought, walked. from the park we returned to the hotels for bags and went to wait at the bus stop until Zadar ... but, as it turned out, we didn’t make it in time (they confused the time of departure from Skradin with arrival but Zadar) and went before Zadar by taxi for 500 kn for 4x. Spent 3 nights in a zadar. I really liked the city! especially the sea organ on the waterfront. Day 1 we just rested and lay on the beach, day 2 we went on a boat trip to the Kornati Marine Park. walking all day, from 9 am to 6 pm, is very tiring and nothing special. after a walk at 8 pm we rented a car (fiat punto for 400 kunas) and at 9.30 am we packed our bags in the car and drove to Plitvice. it is very beautiful there! (but a lot of people .. and it was the recession of the season) spent 6 hours there.

the car was in the parking lot 7kun/hour. The journey took almost two hours one way. from Plitvice we returned for free and gave the car. took the bus to the bus station. there they waited for the bus to Dubrovnik (the tickets were bought in advance). we drove all night than we saved on housing)) at 7 in the morning we were in Dubrovnik. an aunt immediately ran up to us with a proposal to rent rooms from her. her version suited everyone and we stopped for 1 night (modest little rooms for 20 euros per person). dubrovnik is really cool. . . when we drove up we drove through so many picturesque villages. and I really liked the old city. After settling in, we went for a walk. we reached the old city on foot from our point of deployment (it took 30 minutes to walk slowly). walked around the old city and returned (decided to sleep in the heat). after sleep, we went for tickets to the bus station to herceg novi. in the evening we bought and slept again)) in the morning we took a bus to the old city. again bypassed the city only this time along the perimeter of the fortress. wandered inside the city and climbed the cable car (nearby, it can be seen from the fortress. From the mountain you can see the whole of Dubrovnik, Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina. After the cable car we returned for bags and went to the bus station, from there to Herceg Novi.

herceg ovi is a calm, quiet town (for pensioners and couples with children)) where we spent 6 nights in one place. in Montenegro there were already an order of magnitude more Russians. and after Croatia, Montenegro smelled sharply of a "scoop". for a couple of days we rested with the kids on the beach)) then we rented a car and drove along the coast. to Saint Stephen. a very beautiful place! but on the beaches under the peninsula, equipment rental is mandatory. . . the cost of which is 75 euros. . . . just think about it! I have never seen such audacity anywhere else. . (Although on the next beach inventory for 50 euros) and the hotels under these beaches are like that. . . at least don’t come close)) the next day we went on a tour of the quarry of the Tara and Moraca rivers. very, very much! True, I had to take the car again and go on my own. . it would have been cheaper and more interesting. on excursions we were constantly urged on and we visited, in addition, places that were not very interesting for us. .. even though the roads in Montenegro are already solid serpentine. . anyway, the coverage is very good. nature bomb! and there are no people !!!!! a couple of excursions arrived. . but they were not visible. I especially liked the black lake! It's worth staying overnight in Zabljak. maybe for two nights
