5. Girandella Beach

Another beach in Istria Girandella Beach lies near Rabac and is one of those postcard images come to life. A Blue Flag beach, it is made up of white pebbles lapped by impossibly blue water and is popular with elderly groups, young couples and families alike.

1. Zlatni Rat

Zlatni Rat, oftentimes called the Golden Cape or Golden Horn beach, is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Croatian coast.

Dubrovnik is a stunning city with an incredible preserved Old Town. Wandering around its pretty streets and touring the old walls (or dining on them), all offer beautiful views and ample opportunity for incredible photographs. However, if you have found a vacation rental in Dubrovnik and are exploring the city, there is one way to see it that stands out above the rest, literally: the Dubrovnik Cable Car.

Originally established in 1969, the cable car was, sadly, utterly destroyed during the Croatian War of Independence. Happily, however, it was restored and reopened in the summer of 2010, once again offering unparalleled views of the city to visitors.
