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
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
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
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
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

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
*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
Croatia is a totally stunning country in Europe to explore. It’s the kind of place that’s filled with the most beautiful places in Croatia and historic cities, like that of Dubrovnik, that is stunning to visit. That being said, there are also a few other things that make Croatia so special; and that’s its islands. … 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
