Lush waterfalls, verdant greenery, and pools that change from turquoise to teal to aquamarine — the Plitivice Lakes are one of the most famous sights in Croatia. As soon as Dave and I started planning our Croatia itinerary, we knew we had to visit the Plitivice Lakes — so we decided to fit our visit in between our Istria road trip and our Dalmatian Coast cruise.
After arriving and checking into our guesthouse, we found out that rain was forecast for the afternoon, to my great disappointment. I could take rain anywhere, but please, NOT AT THE PLITIVICE LAKES! Anywhere but there!
So we made sure to get there in the morning so as to maximize our time in the sun.
