Hi
I went to the Dalmatian coast in Croatia, around Dubrovnik, last summer. Although I was with my husband I did go off on my own at times. Apart from being chatted up by a guy whilst I sat looking at boats in the marina ( I was old enough to be his mother!), I was never approached or whistled at. I'm fairly normal to look at, a bit overweight but nothing extraordinary (either good or bad!). We were in Istanbul earlier last summer and I was constantly being harrassed by men, even when I was with my husband. I definitely felt safer and more relaxed in Croatia. I don't recall seeing any distressed animals.

Thanks madabouttravel, I've always fancied Croatia and as I have a holiday on my own ocasionally like to know it's safe!
Thanks
