Question for folks that have been to either, or both: how would you split the time? With 21 days, would you do do 50/50 with half a day for traveling from Croatia to Turkey or would you spend more time at one vs the other? I plan on only staying in the Zagreb area, visiting Split, the waterfalls, and perhaps Dalmation Islands. Dubrovnik is too far so will save that for next trip. I want this to be a chill trip and take in the cultures.
Also, any recommendations for hotels would be great! Need to have good wifi, comfy bed, and nice views.

My wife and I went to Croatia/Montenegro, flew into Zagreb and out of Dubrovnik. I thought a day or two in Zagreb was enough, falls were great but wouldn't want to be there for more than two days (maybe 2.5 depending on where you stay). Enjoyed Split. We rented a car and drove everything. If we did it again we wouldn't have spent more than a day in Zagreb and thought Dubrovnik and Montenegro were definitely worth going to, maybe would have left Zagreb off completely.
When buying flights we found it cheaper to buy two separate tickets, one to a major city in Europe (our case Paris) and a separate ticket from this major city in Europe to Croatia (on Croatian Air but other options also). Buying a round trip from Cincinnati to Croatia ends up with few options and very expensive.
I do the same when I go to Thailand, always a major U.S. city to somewhere in China/Seoul then to Bangkok and then another ticket from Cincinnati to the major U.S. city. The major U.S. city to Asia has me on Korean Air or China Eastern where Cincinnati to Bangkok would have only U.S. carrier ticket options (still likely to end up on Korean or China Eastern as they are Delta partners).
