Lost Roman Cities of Dalmatia – Asseria
My long lasting love for history and archaeology resulted with several tours and original programs. One of those is Lost Roman Cities – tour dedicated to one of the most deserted areas of Croatia and to one of the most beautiful parts of Dalmatia. Once inhabited by thousands of Illyrians and later Romans, the area…
Vis Island – Lambik Bar, Kut
One of the finest bars in Vis is most likely popular Lambik in Kut area of Vis Town. Located in the former palace/noblemen house, it keeps the beauty of traditional architecture and style famous for it’s gorgeous vine-covered atrium. It is one of the most popular destination for people coming to Vis in general due…
The animals of Benkovacki sajam
Just some video clips to give a better sense of sights and sounds of the great Benkovac fair!

Roman roads in Croatia
Another post on Roman heritage in Croatia! This weekend, running away from the crowds, I took my family and headed straight to my private refuge – Bukovica. One of the most unique landscapes in Croatia! A mixture of picturesque patches of green meadows and rugged, rocky planes… It is here that we have discovered, on…
Salona – Ancient Roman ruins near Split
One of the best examples of how we in Croatia poorly treat our rich heritage is the ancient city of Salona. Once, one of the most important Roman cities with over 60 000 inhabitants, it is now merely a group of interesting ruins spread on a large piece of land surrounded by the modern developments…
