Hi everyone! I'm planning my first solo trip to Croatia and could really use some advice from people who've done something similar.

Booking using miles

Option 1: Fly directly into Croatia in late August

Pros: no repositioning or long commute.

Cons: peak season, more crowds, hotter weather.

Option 2: Fly into Ljubljana in late September, spend one night there, then continue to Croatia.

It looks like taking the bus to Zagreb and then fly to Dubrovnik (or Split), rather than taking one long bus ride may be the way to go

My questions:Has anyone done Ljubljana → Croatia as a solo traveler?

Which transportation did you choose and why?

Was the bus comfortable with luggage?

If you had to do it again, would you still choose Ljubljana or would you just fly directly into Croatia?

I'd especially love to hear from people who've actually done this route rather than general advice.

Thank you!
