Got visions of the Med dancing in your head?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you see yourself winding through white-washed alleys to the soundtrack of ABBA? Or maybe you\u2019re like me and you watch waaaay too much TV, in which case it\u2019s time to press pause and plan a real-life trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With modern-day CGI and special effects, few destinations sparkle as much in real life as they do on the big screen, but Greece<\/a> and Croatia<\/a> are two exceptions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But which country do you pick when both have sleepy islands, ancient history and a mouthwatering cuisine?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this handy guide, we’ll compare the highlights to help you choose the right destination for your voyage off the couch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Film and TV<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Greek Islands<\/strong> are known for luring in dreamers and romantics. From the coming-of-age movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants <\/em>to the 80s’ Summer Lovers<\/em>, plenty of iconic films are set and filmed in Greece. But we can\u2019t talk about film and TV without mentioning Mamma Mia<\/em>, a whirlwind romance movie set to the timeless 70s soundtrack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The modern musical takes place on a fictional Greek island called Kalokairi. It features Meryl Streep as the free-spirited Donna, who belts ABBA anthems while trying to dodge three ex-lovers. If you want to live out your own Dancing Queen<\/em> fantasy, you can check out the film\u2019s actual set locations: the islands of Skiathos and Skopelos in the Sporades archipelago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other films that transport you to this Aegean paradise include cult classic Zorba the Greek<\/em> (filmed in Crete), Bond blockbuster For Your Eyes Only<\/em> (filmed in Corfu) or cinematic masterpiece The Big Blue<\/em> (filmed on Amorgos and Ios).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croatia<\/strong>\u2019s medieval cities and picturesque islands shot to stardom as the backdrop for a different type of fantasy: HBO\u2019s record-breaking Game of Thrones. <\/em>Based on the novels by George R. R. Martin, the fictional series depicts noble families fighting for control of the \u2018Iron Throne\u2019 and features impressive shots of castles and churches that appear frozen in time \u2013 no special effects needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubrovnik \u2013 a medieval walled city on the Dalmatian Coast with distinctive red roof tiles \u2013 stands in for one of the most recognisable locations for show fans: King\u2019s Landing, the capital city of the Seven Kingdoms. You can sign up for a Game of Thrones tour, but even if you\u2019ve never seen the series, the city\u2019s UNESCO-listed Old Town is well worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Split, Croatia\u2019s second largest city, houses the medieval Kliss Fortress \u2013 the shooting location for the fictional town of Meereen, the residence of beloved Game of Thrones<\/em> protagonist Daenerys Targaryen. Diocletian\u2019s Palace, also a UNESCO site, is featured in some of Daenerys\u2019 critical scenes, with the palace cellar standing in for her throne room and where she trained her precious dragons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you\u2019re a Donna or a Daenerys, riding dragons or hiding from ex-husbands, Greece and Croatia are both fantastic destinations if you want to visit your favourite silver screen sites in real life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Islands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Greece and Croatia have no shortage of island escapes. Seaside villages, crystal-clear water and abundant wine and seafood \u2013 you’ll find it all here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Greek islands<\/strong> are grouped into six unique chains: the Argo-Saronic Islands, the North Aegean Islands, the Ionian Islands, the Dodecanese, the Sporades, and (arguably the most famous) the Cyclades \u2013 home to hotspots like Santorini<\/a>, Mykonos<\/a>, Naxos and Delos. They attract everyone from sunset-swooning honeymooners to history buffs, boutique shoppers and solitude seekers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only some islands have airports, but all are accessible by boat. You can use the extensive ferry network to get around, but our favourite (and headache-free) way is on a small group sailing trip<\/a>. With a local skipper at the helm, you\u2019ll explore lesser-known spots<\/a> along with more popular islands with more of a vibe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Croatia’s Adriatic Islands<\/strong> hug the mainland and are closer together, so if you love the idea of island-hopping but still want to be close to shore, a Croatia cruise<\/a> could be right up your alley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A leisurely cruise along the sparkling Dalmatian Coast includes stops at Hvar (the sunniest island in the Adriatic), pine-tree-covered Korcula and lake-laden Mljet \u2013 all while stopping to swim in scenic grottos. Since the distance between islands is short, itineraries can be fairly customisable. Feel like exploring Roman relics one day but blissing out on a white sand beach the next? Done and done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Landscapes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Often overlooked in favour of the islands, mainland Greece<\/strong> has its fair share of natural beauty \u2013 especially if you\u2019re hunting for historic sites. In ancient Greece, steep cliffs and rocky slopes were often chosen as the sites for temples, churches and sky-high monasteries so that meditation could happen closer to the heavens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meteora is arguably one of the most impressive. These 24 monasteries sit on karst pinnacles that reach up to 300 metres. Six are still occupied and open to visitors, but the real wow factor is the view. The roads between the monasteries have plenty of lookout spots to enjoy a bird\u2019s eye view of the surrounding forests and terracotta rooftops. If you time it right, you might also see what could be one of the prettiest sunsets of your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Croatia<\/strong> might not have hanging monasteries, but it does have incredible waterfalls \u2013 especially in the UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes National Park. The park has a network of 16 trails, boardwalks and jewel-toned lakes that cascade into 90 waterfalls. If you search \u2018epic waterfalls’ on Google or Instagram, there\u2019s a good chance at least one shot of Plitvice will come up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krka National Park is just as impressive, with mighty falls that spill into emerald pools. While swimming is now restricted in Plitvice and Krka to protect the ecosystems, both parks are about an hour’s drive inland from the coastal cities of Zadar and Split \u2013 so there\u2019s no need to choose between fresh and seawater swims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuisine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One area where these two countries are truly neck and neck? The cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greece <\/strong>is known for many cooking staples like feta cheese, olive oil and honey. And if eating the catch of the day at a seaside taverna is your idea of heaven, this is the place for you. There are also plenty of opportunities to pop into family-run olive groves and wineries to taste subtle flavour changes in different regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greek dishes<\/a> often focus on local produce and fresh flavours, so both vegetarians and meat lovers will be happy. We love a Greek meze feast (an array of small plates similar to tapas) featuring classics like dolmades (stuffed vine leaves), tangy dips, olives and fried saganaki cheese. Be sure to try moussaka (layers of eggplant, spiced mince and creamy bechamel) and chargrilled octopus. And don\u2019t forget to wash it down with a cold glass of ouzo, the national drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"A<\/a>

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a range of microclimates, Croatian food<\/strong> is the perfect example of terroir, or food that tastes like the land. The island of Pag is known for Pa\u0161ki sir (<\/em>Pag cheese), made from the milk of local sheep that graze on herbs and salty grasses, giving the cheese a distinct flavour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Greece, Croatia has plenty of locally grown or made produce, with heaps of places to see (and taste) where your food comes from. Think: touring fish markets<\/a>, and digging into grilled sardines and black risotto on the Dalmatian coast, and sampling silky olive oils in Brac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

History<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to history, few places can compete with ancient Greece<\/strong>. It is one of the cradles of civilisation, after all! So many things in life today \u2013 from philosophy to democracy, modern medicine to astronomy \u2013 all came from Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This overachieving little country holds an incredible collection of remnants from the ancient world, and its impressive ruins make it a top destination for history and mythology buffs alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainland Greece is home to ancient monuments like the Temple of Apollo, the Sanctuary of Delphi, the Acropolis in Athens<\/a> and Ancient Olympia. Athens alone has over 70 museums. The islands are steeped in history too. In Crete, walk through what\u2019s\u00a0rumored to be Europe\u2019s oldest city at Knossos, or visit the uninhabited and UNESCO-listed island of Delos \u2013 the mythological birthplace of Apollo and Artemis \u2013 to see one of the most extensive excavations in the Med.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ruins of the Parthenon at the Acropolis in Athens<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Croatia<\/strong> clocks a respectable 10 World Heritage sites, so history enthusiasts certainly shouldn\u2019t discount this Balkan country. If getting lost in medieval streets\u00a0set against a turquoise backdrop\u00a0is how you picture spending your time, Dubrovnik is the obvious choice. But there\u2019s also Korcula and Motovun \u2013 both just as interesting but less crowded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or step back even further to the Roman era at the iconic Diocletian Palace in Split or Pula where you\u2019ll find a remarkably well-preserved Roman amphitheatre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t blame us for taking the easy route, but we really can\u2019t choose a favourite when it comes to these two Mediterranean gems. Stunning coastlines, incredible fresh food and ancient cobblestone towns have us daydreaming about both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why not combine the two on a trip from Dubrovnik to Santorini<\/a>? Or check out Intrepid\u2019s Greece<\/a> and Croatia<\/a> trips.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
