Italians love the beach (who doesnt). Italy doesnt have enough beaches for their own citizens, as evidenced in the picture of a beach near Rome. That is why Croatia is a very popular destination. There are many Italians who like to go to Croatia to get away. Croatia has endless beaches, but it is no longer the unknown place that it was. Prices are slightly cheaper than Italy, but not significantly. The trip has been tough on our wallets, but we knew that going in. Hotels are the big expense. In Italy they budget accomodation is usually $100 US. Coming back through Italy to Rome we camped more frequently. This reduced our expenses significantly. It is still relative, because camping was $35-$45 US/Night for us. Camping, a few times, was the same price as hostel accomodation. Turkey was the cheapest country we visited with Bosnia a close second. Montenegro was next cheapest followed by Croatia. Greece was slightly more expensive than Croatia and Italy was the most expensive. The north of Italy tends to be more expensive than the less wealthy south.
