Eastern Europe & the Caucasus

Hi folks.
My girlfriend and I will be travelling from Warsaw to Dubrovnik over a month in the summer. I was wondering if anyone can advise me as to the best ticket to buy for this trip. I heard that the trains are not too reliable in Croatia, so would I be better to buy a three week train ticket and pay for buses when in the region of Croatia/Bosnia?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for replies.

Cheers,

Hi there,

Many thanks

I will be visiting Croatia for 20 days this May, June, and would like some advice about my planned itinerary.

I have posted a message on another branch of this tree, and as part of one of the replies, I read this sentence;

"I think the majority of travellers as opposed to tourists would hire a vehicle".

The person in question was very helpful so I'm not having a dig at him/her. However, I am intrigued that there is a distinction between a 'traveller' and a 'tourist'. Until recently, I was working in East Java but I took great pleasure in poking around the region at weekends. I considered myself a…

Hi all,

I'm going to Istanbul for a long week end and I'm wondering if anyone has any good address for a nice cafe where smoke shisha or a specific area of the city where look for. Please, not tourist traps.

After a bit of research about lockers in the airport I got an e-mail telling me that the price for a bag is 70 CZK. For any amount of time!!!

Anyone please!!!!
