This year I did not want to post any photos of my olive trees or anything “regular” happening up and down the coast in the season of olive picking. This year the destination was Lun… To anyone, even vaguely familiar with olive-growing traditions on the Croatian coast, even the very name of village of Lun…

Great review of my favorite plavac mali wine – Korta Katarina Plavac mali, 2006 (in Croatian)
From Novi List, By Daniela Kramarić RIVIJERA OREBIĆ: KORTA KATARINA PLAVAC MALI 2006 Zapravo je vrlo mali broj vina čija se izdržljivost u čaši može mjeriti desecima sati. Korta Katarina Plavac mali 2006 jedno je od njih. Zašto to činim? Jer naslućujem da ono to može, a ujedno to je i jako dobar pokazatelj izdržljivosti…
Villa Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik – Romance forever
As the season ended, we are already getting ready for 2011 with site inspections, guide selection and some (slight) expansion of services. One of the nicest part of that process is definitely staying at nice hotels that we recommend to our clients. Each hotel is personally inspected at least once a year and we sleep…

Krapina Neanderthal Museum – Best museum in Croatia!
So this weekend, since it was holiday, we went to Zagreb to meet some business partners and friends. Zagreb is great in early fall although it was a bit too chilly for us as well as quite foggy in the mornings. We also planned a visit to Krapina to see this great museum we heard…
Ogulin – The town of fairy tales
Few weeks back I was on a business meeting in Ogulin. Never been there before 🙁 but, like many places in inner Croatia, is quite lovely and rich in history. Unfortunately, since it is not on main tourist routes, it is rarely visited and the national tourist board invests zero kuna in promotion. However, the…
River Grab and the famous mills
Every late summer weekend we try to spend outdoors. Not sipping coffee but walking and discovering new places and new people. Eating good food as well… This weekend, since we stayed in Split, we decided to visit beautiful Grab river near tiny Trilj town deep in Dalmatian hinterland. Just over an hour from Split, we…
