but until then I've got to settle for the occasional trip. Every visit I fall in love again with the blue water, the white buildings and the friendly people. Our most recent trip we fell in love with the island of Milos our favorite part, sailing and snorkeling around Kleftiko for the day.
Just a few years ago, Croatia was Europe's little secret, now throngs flock there every summer to see Game of Throne's nostalgia and crystal clear water (Croatia is rated the cleanest water in Europe). But if you know how, you can still enjoy Croatia without the masses, one of the best ways is on a private boat tour.
Unless you are in the know, you probably don't know about Slovenia. You've got the Julian Alps to the North, the Adriatic in the southwest, the Soca river valley running throughout, and an adorable capital city of Ljubliana. It's biggest attraction is Lake Bled with the picturesque church on an island in the middle of the lake. This country is relatively small, but packs a big punch in anything and everything you could want in a European vacation. For adventure lovers I recommend heading to Triglav National Park and rafting the Soca river, what a rush!
