Hi everyone, I am planning a trip through Western Europe (London, Paris, Barcelona) in August/September with a week-long interlude to meet up with family in Eastern Europe. The family trip tentatively will be Verona >> Ljubljana >> Plivitce Lakes >> Split >> Dubrovnik. Is there a relatively painless way to get from London (Heathrow, preferably) to Verona, and then from Dubrovnik back to London? I've checked through Ryanair and British Air, and done a Skyscanner search, but (maybe not that surprisingly) there don't seem to be any direct routes.
I realize there may be questions about why I'm looping back to London instead of just progressing from Western Europe to Eastern Europe, etc. It's mainly a timing issue and I've left out the background to avoid turning this into a long post, but please ask away if you need any clarification. Thanks in advance!
