Croatia / Belgrade Help!

[mattyk]

Hey guys, was originally planning on doing Greece in September but we have come to the conclusion we would enjoy eaerlier in the season better so are saving it for next year.

So looking at an 11 Day Itinerary. The only real option for flights I found was to arrive into Zagreb on 10th and depart from Belgrade on the 21st.

My initial thoughts are:
Zagreb - 3 Days
Dubrovnik - 3 Days
Belgrade - 4 Days

Is there rail (or any travel options) going Zagreb -> Dubrovnik -> Belgrade?

Are there any other places we should consider spending a night in?

Primary goals of this trip are "adventure" and to enjoy the night life on the weekends, three single males in there mid-late 30's.

I have never been so this is just what I've heard about Croatia/ Belgrade.

A few points and questions -

Where are you travelling from? It's just I was wondering if you're going to be affected with jet lag because you are going to lose some of your short time in Zagreb and then you are whizzing off to Dubrovnik.

You say your only real travel options are ... Do you mean only options to hit the 3 places you have named or your only options to visit Croatia? Sorry If I'm being dim!!

I researched Croatia a year or so ago and internal flights between Zagreb were very cheap and quick compared to train travel. I found some as low as £20.

Split is close to Dubrovnik and worth a visit.

A bit random sorry but maybe someone else has something more useful.

sorry what I meant by that is that flying into Zagreb and out of Belgrade was the only reasonably priced option. Zagreb Dubrovnik and Belgrade are the three places we would like to hit.

We will be traveling from the USA, however in my past experiences traveling to Eastern Europe (Budapest) jet lag was not a problem. We would actually probably stay in Zagreb for 4 or 5 days (arrive thursday and take train/fly out on Sunday or Monday)

I will have to look and see if Flying Zagreb -> Dubrovnik -> Belgrade might be a better option. If its $60Euro or less we would probably do it
