Video Description: On our Balkan road trip through Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Montenegro, we made the controversial decision to skip Dubrovnik. Instead, we visited Cavtat, a peaceful coastal town just 30 minutes away, and it turned out to be one of the best choices of our trip. In this video, we explore why Cavtat might just be the perfect alternative to Dubrovnik: no cruise crowds, stunning waterfront views, great food, and relaxed vibes. We also share highlights from the rest of our Balkan journey, including stops in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro. We even take you along for the border crossings which weren't as bad as we thought they would be! We had A LOT of great food along the way, some beautiful views, and some interesting places that you would only see road tripping through these three beautiful countries. ➤ Road trip route: Croatia → Bosnia & Herzegovina → Montenegro → Croatia Check out our Bosnia and Herzegovina vlog here: https://youtu.be/Vzi_o4-AcL4 Check out our Montenegro vlog here: https://youtu.be/jygxkocQES0 If you want a discount on your next car rental, check out DISCOVERCARS.COM and use this code to save some money off your rental: https://www.discovercars.com/go/nateandkatrina #balkanroadtrip #croatiatravel #cavtat #dubrovnikalternative #bosniaandherzegovina #montenegrotravel #travelvlog #europe2025 #travelvlog ✼ Would be cool to see you over here ✼ Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/nateandkatrina Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/nateandkatrina Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/nateandkatrina TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@nateandkatrina Threads - @nateandkatrina Twitter - Meh Ⓝ + Ⓚ ⇉ 🌏 ✼ ABOUT US ✼ We are Nate and Katrina, two Americans living in Amsterdam, The Netherlands and traveling as much as we can to see what there is to see!
