Croatia

Accommodation:
Grand Villa Argentina (www.gva.hr), ~$250/double, at 14 Frana Supila, Dubrovnik (+385-20/440-552), is located within City walls, beautiful views, great service, saltwater pool beneath walls a few feet from the sea.
Places to Visit:
Other than the obvious Dubrovnik, Split, etc, I find that both Zagreb and Zadar are underrated, and the islands off the coast between Dubrovnik and Split are fabulous (Hvar, Korcula, Brac). A place that I love which rarely gets a mention is Plitvice Jezera Nat'l Park, about halfway between Split and Zagreb by road.
