Perched on the gorgeous Adriatic coast, Dubrovnik is one of the many stunning Croatian towns and cities to explore. With everything from the old town to the little-coved beaches, there are loads of best things to do in Dubrovnik that you have to experience during your visit. Over the last five years, Dubrovnik seems to … Continue Reading
Our trip to Croatia was the very first international trip we’d taken in months (for obvious reasons) and it did feel a bit surreal to finally be travelling internationally again. The airport was pretty quiet, the lounge the same but somehow our flight was pretty full. Anyway, a few hours after, we landed in sunny … Continue Reading
Its been a busy few days! Quad biking, island hopping, quite a lot of eating and *cough* wine tasting (i.e. getting drunk while soaking up the amazing Croatian sunshine surrounded by amazing views). Okay, now I know this post is coming a bit late but to be fair, my laptop has spent quite a bit … Continue Reading
Going island hopping the next day meant that we had to get up earlier than I’d perhaps have liked on holidays but the idea of sailing through some of the most beautiful parts of Croatia was more than enough motivation to excitedly jump out of bed and hurry downstairs for breakfast. P.S.: See what we … Continue Reading
As you know from Instagram, we visited Croatia recently and as you could probably tell from the numerous photos we kept posting, Croatia is an amazing place to visit! It’s very little wonder why it’s quickly becoming a favourite holiday destination for quite a lot of us. This trip to Croatia was my very first … Continue Reading
Now any Game of Thrones fan worth their salt knows Croatia plays a key role in the series. A lot of Daenerys’ scenes were shot here in Split and scenes from Kings Landing were shot in Dubrovnik. It’s very easy to take for granted while watching the series the reason behind the location choices on … Continue Reading
We arrived in the evening and made a beeline straight for our abode for the night – the Cornarro Hotel. The location of this hotel, by the way, is perfect for a trip to Split as it’s a short walk from the major sights in the city! We were welcomed with sweet and a bottle … Continue Reading
Okay it wasn’t right across all of Croatia but it was for over 40km (about 25 miles) and seeing as this was out first time doing on quad bikes, I think it’s safe to say it was quite a big deal for both of us. To be fair though, this was one of the things … Continue Reading
After lunch on our second day in Croatia, we wandered off from the restaurant to another part of the building where I discovered where they kept their homemade wine… And as though that wasn’t enough, I found out where the prosciutto was cured too! To be fair, I was led there by my sense of … Continue Reading
On our third morning in Croatia, we hurriedly grabbed breakfast – only ‘hurriedly’ by the way because I choose to spend more time sleeping over getting breakfast. The only flaw with that plan is that I still choose to eat as much at breakfast as if I’d had a full hour to eat breakfast. The … Continue Reading
*Warning: As with most of my posts from Croatia, this is another photo-heavy post. 🙂 Makarska is a small city by the sea in Croatia (not too far from Split) and is easily becoming one of the most popular holiday destinations in Croatia! When I visited, it was fairly easy to see why. The day … Continue Reading
Before I even get started, I’d just like to say – Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries we’ve had the pleasure of visiting this year. Morning drives (which usually means a quick nap for me – I’m a sucker for naps when someone else is driving) were so different here as your eyes … Continue Reading
One the final morning of my week-long trip to Croatia, I awoke to the most amazing view ever from my hotel room balcony at Villa Dvor. I’d arrived late the night before, slightly sozzled with that good Croatia wine from dinner and so hadn’t really paid attention to my surroundings before promptly falling asleep! The … Continue Reading
And in particular, in Central Dalmatia! With over 1,000 islands, the Dinaric Alps and historic cities such as Dubrovnik and Split, Croatia is a destination that you’ll no doubt have considered visiting. If you’re anything like me the hardest thing you’ll surely come across is figuring out what you’ll have to leave out of your … Continue Reading
