Dear Customer; With the falling US dollar, many people are rethinking the traditional European vacation to France or Italy.
This month we highlight Croatia and Slovenia, along with the Czech Republic and Slovakia, as destinations with spectacular history and scenery, yet far fewer crowds and much less expensive.
These destinations are becoming more popular for US travelers, but have not yet attracted the kinds of crowds that you see in Rome in August.
The scenery and history are first-rate.
From the Old Town in Prague to the historic coastal city of Dubrovnik, from the High Tatras to the Julian Alps, the sites, culture, and food, will leave you with a lifetime of memories.
Croatia - with its Mediterranean climate, the blue Adriatic Sea lapping at the stunning Dalmatian coast with its towns full of fascinating history and architecture, is a hidden gem of a European destination.
Find your way with our Croatia maps and books.
Take a leisurely drive down the length of the Slovenian and Croatian coast.
Kayak through the 1000+ islands offshore.
Spend time in the historic cities such as Dubrovnic with its ancient architecture and stunning sunset views.
Off the mainstream tourist route, Croatia offers stunning scenery with far fewer crowds and reduced costs when compared to traditional European vacation spots.

Julian Alps of Slovenia. Cicerone Guides. This book contains around over 60 walks which bring the best of the Julian Alps to the English-speaking walker. The walks are organized around five bases – Kranjska Gora, Bovec, Kobarid, Bled and Bohinj – all of which have a range of accommodation and public transport facilities. There is something here for everyone – from easy valley walks and rougher forest trails to high-mountain protected routes, some of which require Alpine mountaineering experience. Several possibilities for multi-day walks are included.
The Julian Alps are situated at the south-eastern end of the Alpine chain. Their highest peak, Triglav, at 2864m, may be smaller than some of the better-known western giants, but what the mountains lack in stature they make up for in interest and accessibility. The dramatic limestone peaks drop steeply through forests to flower meadows, and will give you a feast for the eyes no matter which direction you turn.
