If you love Venice but hate the idea of waiting in line for a gondola ride surrounded by throngs of peak season crowds, consider driving a little over three hours to another area with gorgeous views of the Adriatic Sea: Croatia's Istrian Peninsula.

This beautiful region has picturesque little port towns that will delight travelers. While it may not actually be romantic Venice, it was once a part of the Venetian republic, and that cultural link endures.

The stylish luxury resort offers an alternative to the excess hedonism the Greek island is best known for. This is not the Mykonos I was told about. It is my first time on the ‘party island’ and as the airport transfer draws close to the southeastern coast and I get my first glimpse of Cali, the island’s reputation for champagne-fueled hedonism couldn’t be further away. Before me is a white-washed hilltop resort capped with green roofs of lavender and oregano, surrounded by wild grass blowing in the warm sea air. “Is that a goat?,” someone in my travel party inquiries as the local herd has come to welcome us.

A city where the roads are waterways and the cars are gondolas — Venice is a place you have to experience to believe. Founded in the fifth century, this ancient city is a marvel of human ingenuity floating on 118 small islands, and visited by around 20 million people every year. Venice also gets hot in the summertime, hitting 82 degrees in July. Combine the sizzle with being in the inferno of tourist crowds, and jumping into those azure canals for a dip can sound quite refreshing. However, this is strictly prohibited. The reasons behind this are not just bureaucratic or for the sake of tradition. They are deeply rooted in concerns for health, safety, and the preservation of the city's unique ecosystem and heritage as a UNESCO site.
