Never been to Croatia but my brother-in-law and his partner have been there a couple of times and love the place. From the photos, it looked very nice.

Hello Alex,

We never went to Croatia but we spent 2 weeks in Montenegro. It is also a former country of Yugoslawia and it is situated next to Albania.
We booked a bungalow in a naturist area. The isle is called "Ada Bojana" and it was a great experience to stay in a naturist "camp"
or better in a small naturist village. We had interesting trips to Podgorica (former Titowgrad), to Kotor (a town which is sponsored by the UNESCO), to the
Skutari Lake and much more. We enjoyed it very much.

We would recommend a former country of Yugoslawia. The tourism in Croatia is much more developed as in Montenegro. During the last years we have seen
that the prices increased very much.

Hello Alex,

Due to the reason that we are also interested in a further trip to these countries I have read several reports about Ada/Montengero.
Unfortunately, all reports were bad and I got the impression nothing has been changed during the last years. I remember, the bungalows
were very simple, the food were "imported" from Albania and they had no money for repair anything. I have no experience about other
hotels which are situated on the coast of Montenegro. I think it will takes a long time until they will reach a better level.
It is a pity. The country is so nice.
Friends of us recommend the so called "Goldene Horn" in Croatia.

Good luck with your search.
Kerstin

Additionally to my answer from this morning...
Sorry, I did not had enough time to search for the translation and the web-site of the German words "Goldenes Horn".
In the meantime I got a message from our friends and they had an interesting link: http://www.bol-croatia.net/
I hope it will helps.
