The Zagreb to Dubrovnik flights can be a problem. Dubrovnik is notoriously windy. My flight to Dubrovnik was aborted during the final descent due to high winds. Had to land in Split and take a bus, about a 4 hour ride as I recall. On the return, the flight out of Dubrovnik was cancelled. Another bus ride to Split and then flight to Zagreb. In Dubrovnik I stayed at the Hilton just outside the wall. It was awesome. You can probably spend 2 days in Dubrovnik but any more isn't necessary.

I just spent two weeks in Croatia last month with my wife and 3 teenage kids. I am still trying to upload photos for a Travel Board review of Dubrovnik, Kotor (Montenegro), Hvar, Stari Grad, Split, and Trogir. Stay tuned and feel free to ask questions.

What time of year was this? I can't find much about this online but what I did find said that this was primarily in the winter?

Dubrovnik airport has had a few diversions this summer due to unusual summer strong northern winds known as the "bura." One flight was even diverted from Dubrovnik all the way to Rome. It's rare, so don't worry.

Visited Krka park in mid-July. Beautiful but insanely crowded on walking paths and in the water. I was told (too late) that later in the afternoon is best time to go for less crowds. Here's a pic of the crowd in the water at midday in July:





Sretan put!
