Where to Stay?

Planning your trip already?

• In Malta: Look for accommodation in Sliema or St. Julian’s for nightlife and connections, or Mellieha for the best sandy beaches.
• In Dubrovnik: Staying inside the Old Town is magical but expensive. Look for apartments in the Lapad or Gruz neighborhoods for better value and easy bus connections to the center.
