One of the finest museums in Croatia is definitely The Museum of Antique Glass in Zadar. The museum opened it’s doors this past spring after years of restoration of the beautiful classical Cosmacendi palace (1877) located on the former defense wall of Zadar called “muraj”. The architect Silađin did a terrific job with the interiors…

Burnum – Croatia’s most recent Roman amphitheatre www.secretdalmatia.com
Probably some of you did not know where the image in the header of this blog was taken. It was back in the 2006 when I took my friend Miljenko Hegedić (a professional photographer whose portfolio can be seen here) on a photo shoot for my web sites. One of the sites I wanted to…
All hotels in Split, Croatia – www.thehotelsofsplit.com
Together with my friend Robert Aronson, we have realized that Croatia still lacks several web directories that would enable travelers easier access to relevant and updated information. So, this past summer we started developing a concept of The Croatia Travel Network with our first site being The Hotels of Split. The concept is straightforward: listing…
Wine tasting of Ravni Kotari wines
As you have all probably figured out by now, I am VERY patriotic when it comes to Dalmatia, Croatia in general and Zadar area in particular. I love the city, history, culture, food… and cannot stop promoting. But I (still) don’t like the wines. So, when I heard that the Zadar county is organizing the…
Čukter: traditional sweets in Croatia – www.culinary-croatia.com
Now this is something rare! So rare these days that I found out about it only a year or so ago! I still don’t know much about it and almost no resources are available so I would appreciate if there is somebody to write a bit more about it! Čukter – (pronounce as chukter) Traditional…
Bota Šare restaurant in Split – www.culinary-croatia.com
Bota Šare is one of the most respected and highly recommended restaurants in Split. But that does not say much… The competition in Split is fairly mediocre and no restaurant is really something that I would recommend highly. Especially if someone is looking for creative cuisine. The fine cuisine has yet to arrive in Split….
Motovun in the winter
One of the prettiest places in all of Croatia, tiny town of Motovun, is equally magical in the winter time as in the summer when hordes of tourists visit either for The Motovun Film Festival or simply to enjoy the eternal beauty… High above the peaceful Mirna River valley and the mysterious Motovun forest, this…
Winter sunsets in Croatia
Winter is one of my favorite parts of the year for many reasons (and cold weather is NOT one of them!). Mainly because everything looks so melancholic… I also enjoy fabulous sunsets. Especially when bura wind clears the rainy clouds! Each and every sunset is simply an experience of it’s own! But yesterday, the winds…
The Wall of Oštrica
I am sure that no traveler passed tiny Grebaštica village, when driving from Split to Šibenik, without noticing the imposing wall on a long peninsula. That wall always looked so mysterious and so prohibitive that I simply had to visit. Another sunny morning yesterday and, after I have finished some work in Šibenik, I simply…
