The beaches in Croatia do look spooky, so close to the woods like that. I have friends who vacation there.
I actually prefer loud and busy cities at night, like Madrid. There's something about having things going on around me while I'm asleep that makes me feel safe and secure. I also love the idea of going out at 2:00 am and seeing lots of people out drinking and having a good time. When I know an entire city is asleep, that's when I get depressed and claustrophobic. I hate holidays, when stores are closed and no one is out and about.
