Vis Island Croatia On the Island of Vis Croatia we embraced a life of simplicity.

Renting a vehicle is a good option for exploring Croatia and we picked ours up in Zagreb.  A little more than 100km south we came upon Rastoke, a historic town in the Croatian district of Slunj, which was to whet our appetite for the next day’s destination of Plitvice Lakes. I recommend that everyone who …

Being surrounded by a maze of long ribbon-like islands running north-south, the old town of Zadar in Croatia is all about the ocean.  Evening strolls along the Riva are mandatory to see the colours change with the setting sun, but two of Nikola Bašić’s creations – the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation add even more magic. …

Journey.Destination.Experience I have thought long and hard about these words. They are Budget Travel Talk’s byline and each are considered with a view to the budget.  I’ve been thinking about this subject because I’m in the throes of planning our ten week trip to Sicily, Croatia and Slovenia.  We leave in a matter of days …
