I vote for Rabac. It is a beatiful location with nice beaches, rocky gay beach (behind the "Bounty" beach) is nice, not overcrowded (compared to Punta Kriza), but you can meet cute guys there.

I voted for Rovinj. I think I have just discovered one of my favorite seaside towns.

Rovinj is most definitely a word that doesn’t sound familiar to most. It is a town on the coast of the Istria region in Croatia. To be
honest, I almost typed that it was ‘in Italy’ – because that is truly how it feels. It is almost directly across the Adriatic Sea from
Venice. Rovinj had such a feeling of being on the Italian
Riviera. The buildings were just as colorful as those in the Cinque Terre. The sea was just as beautiful. The language and food was
extremely similar. And last but never least, this region is also known for being a great wine region. I really had to tell myself at times
that I was, in fact, not in Italy.

Upon getting here, we went to one of the agencies and they hooked us sistas up. We stayed smack in the center of town in a room at a
woman’s house. I wasn’t expecting much based on my prior experience of staying in people’s homes my last time in Croatia. This
placed proved me wrong as it was impeccably clean and nice. Clean places have definitely become a bit more of a ‘luxury’ to me
versus a ‘necessity’ in the past couple months (all somebody has to do to make me truly happy and appreciative these days is provide
me with some soap).

My sister and I were more and more impressed with every turn we took as we took to the streets. I came fully equipped with my
annoying comparisons that I just couldn’t help myself from making (i.e. “This is almost just like Vernazza in the Cinque Terre.”) while
my sister had never seen any place like it. She was even more amazed than I was with this town. Even though I’m not technically
going to Western Europe on this trip, Croatia is actually doing its part to fill the void. Prices here aren’t cheap…but there aren’t nearly
as expensive as Italy.

Because the Adriatic was too cold to literally get into (believe me…we dipped our feet into the almost numbingly cold water), we
decided to ‘get into’ the sea in a different way…a boat ride. For ninety minutes, our boat took us all around Rovinj and the many little
islands that surround it. The water only got more and more radiant as we went further out. I can think of far worse ways to spend an
afternoon.
