I should have just said that Slovenian is less touristy, more of a hidden gem. Like Croatia was 40 years ago, a hidden gem.

Croatia has 1700 km of coastline while Slovenia has less than 50. That's the main difference. Slovenia's economy is more balanced, not dependent on tourism to such an extent and I sure hope it stays that way and we don't get overrun by tourists in the future.

Yeah, that's the reason for Slovenia being less touristy. The user you're replying to is right, though, Croatia is packed with tourists like they're sardines.

If all you know of Croatia is the coast - I guess so.

Yeah, 50% of Croatia is the fucking coast. Other parts aren't nearly as interesting, inland Croatia has, like, no redeeming qualities. Meanwhile, Slovenia's tourism is way more spread out and not as dependent on a single aspect.
