So we've been trying to plan ahead a little bit and looking at travel to Greece we've noticed that it is really expensive and difficult to get to and from there. And the more time elapses, the more expensive the country is getting. Especially with dates that we're not flexible with (such as getting back to London for our flight home) flights are a couple hundred euros and increasing daily. Even getting to Greece is difficult because most airlines dont have regular flights into Greece, so it would mean taking a ferry from Italy, which means taking a train from Cinque Terre to the eastern coast wherever theres a port, and since we cannot arrange ferry tickets ahead of time, just figuring it out at that point.
As I was exploring options, though, I found a ton of cheap (15 euro!) flights from Croatia to London on the date we need to go, and since Croatia is further north, its just east of Italy instead of east and waaay far south like Greece, so the ferry over would be a lot quicker (and I assume, then, cheaper) as well as the train to the coast.
Everyone I've talked to at our hostel says Croatia is an amazing place to go, similar to Greece in that it has tons and tons of islands with beautiful beaches that you can hop around, gorgeous cliffs running up to the water, and lovely cities that have some tourists but arnt as touristy as the Greek Isles.
Justin is still pretty stuck on going to Greece, so we're exploring options of ways to get there and back to London, but I just keep seeing the prices go up each day so we're hoping to decide soon!
Do any of you have any advice or knowledge about Croatia or the decision?

I saw a flight from Rome to Athens on Alitalia for 6/2. $69+tax http://www.cheaptickets.com/App/ViewFlightSearchResults?retrieveParams=true&z=f41a&r=2&z=f41c&r=4&lastPage=interstitial
this was via Cheap Tickets. There is not a way to book from Cheap Tickets out of Athens. But, British air does
