Sun - Skin

Hi,

II'm a 24 year old male.  I was thinking about going to croatia for seven days.

I have fair skin and burn easily. Is it safe for me to go if I wear sunscreen or will I eventually burn regardless, given its for seven days?

Only other hot climate I've been to is Florida and that was for just shy of four days.

If it is safe to go, what percautions should I take?

Thanks

Physical sunscreening like covering exposed areas,wide brim hats,avoiding being out 10 to 4 also sunscreens.There are two types of sun reactions phototoxic,and photo allergic and a good sunscreen with spf15 should be fine to protect you from both.
