Bijela rijeka is a small river flowing in the rain season (mostly Fall and Spring) from the 300 meters high hill down to the Karin Sea near Zadar. Hard to spot from the street, it requires some easy hiking along a very dramatic canyon. It has been a while since I wanted to go there…

Omis – The Pirates’ Nest of Dalmatia
This Sunday I was invited to Omiš to enjoy a walking tour of this historic town located right on the mouth of Cetina river. Omiš has one of the most spectacular positions on Croatian coast matched maybe only by the location of Šibenik. That, and the very nature of the locals, enabled this tiny town…
Casa Garzotto Hotel – Rovinj
Casa Garzotto in Rovinj is probably one of the cutest hotels in all of Istria and a great example how to build a very interesting hotel and preserve the heritage. The owners, especially Mr. Dario, spent years researching and restoring antique furniture, paintings and photographs that make this hotel more of a museum! For authentic…
Fall in Dalmatia – Kumenat
It gives me a special pleasure to enjoy the afternoons walking with my family. Here is just a small gallery from our yesterday’s walk in Kumenat area. This part of coast – between Biograd and Pakoštane, got it’s name from the work “convent” since the remains of a large convent have been found here. It…
Summer on Vis Island
Summers are always special. It is all about sun and fun and with winter slowly creeping upon us, I remembered the few days off on Vis Island this past summer. My wife’s family is from Vis Island: father from Komiza and mother from Vis and I cannot even begin to tell you how much people…
Caves of Croatia – Vranjača Cave near Split (Dugopolje)
When there is a cave to visit, I am always available! This time it is famous Vranjača near Dugopolje – bustling industrial zone near Split. Few weeks back I got a phone call from my friend Robert Aronson that he met someone who told him about Vranjača. I have heard about this cave before but…
Sv. Simeon of Zadar – Sv. Šime: patron of Zadar
Now this is a special place! The church of St Simeon is located in historic quarters of Zadar: near the Roman entrance to ancient Jadera. The tiny square is one of my most favorite places in the World! Small, quiet, historic… just radiates with harmony! I cannot explain it, but it simply shines with tranquility….
Zavratnica Bay
One of the most beautiful bays on the Adriatic coast is located far away from well known islands of Dalmatia or the more popular coast from Zadar to Dubrovnik. Bay of Zavratnica is located just across the island of Rab: far away from most of the regular routes… This 900 meters deep bay is often…
Dobričić grape and wine of Šolta – Wines of Dalmatia
This past weekend I was invited to Šolta for a fam trip ofour new Olive oil of Šolta tour. The plan is to include much more than just olive oil since Šolta is a true paradise of traditional tastes! With great lunch at the Olynthia mill, I had a chance of tasting a famous local…
