Perfekt

21-Mar-2023

Alles perfekt organisiert. Man hat wirklich die schönsten Plätze in Kroatien ausgewählt, plus Mostar - für uns das absolute Highlight. Die Hotels waren einfach, aber ok, eben landestypische 3-Sterne; Frühstücksangebot ebenso. Und gut Mittag- und Abendessen kann man sowieso überall auf dem Balkan. ...more ...less
