In the town of Split on the Dalmatian cost of Croatia it is possible to step through a gateway in a modern bustling city into a Roman Palace built in 305AD. Palaces usually summon expensive thoughts, but it costs nothing to enter the palace in Split, making it the best of the free things to …

The most southern region of Croatia’s coastline holds the stunning Dalmatian coast with the glittering islands near Split Croatia off-shore. Croatians love sun, beaches and swimming and gravitate to the ocean whenever they can. Some visitors treat Split as a mere stepping off point for the islands, but it is a beautiful and exciting town …

Krka National Park is accessible by bus, car or boat and we chose the boat trip which departs from Skradin, a downstream port on the Krka River. Krka is a karst travertine river system whose waterfalls rival those of the Plitvice Lakes for beauty, with the added benefit of far less visitors. We caught the …

An equal hour south of Zadar and north of Split on the Dalmatian coast of Croatia, the tiny town of Skradin shelters a diverse fleet of vessels in it’s Krka river harbour. Fishermen tend their nets in the town, their catch coming from the rich mix of ocean and river waters, while mega yachts moor …

Fort George was built in 1812 as the British answer to Napoleon’s advances in the Mediterranean. I doubt that Captain Henryson and his band of Vis Islanders imagined, when constructing the fort, that within a few years the British would abandon it and some two hundred years later it would be operating as an events …

UPDATED APRIL 2018. The furthest flung of the inhabited Croatian islands, Vis Island is a unique, less touristed destination and possibly the most beautiful island in Croatia! This is a big call because Croatia has a whopping 79 Adriatic islands with an area greater than 1 sq.km. and Vis with an area of 90 sq.km. …

The Adriatic coastline plays a star role in what makes Croatia such a popular travel destination and why I love Croatia. Every seaside town along this most indented Croatian coastline has a Riva where people promenade, swim, fish, moor boats, drink coffee and take their evening stroll.

It seems far too long since we stood on the timber boardwalks at Plitvice Lakes Croatia, mouths agape and cameras clicking. Where we live it doesn’t rain often (unless it pours) so it isn’t surprising that Plitvice Lakes with it’s lashings of water and verdant foliage blew our minds.   Have you ever been to …
