Always in search of great restaurants I keep asking my friends and business partners where to go. So, recently, before going to Zagreb, my friend recommended us Trilogija restaurant in historic part of Zagreb: just next to the Kamenita vrata gate. They advertise themselves as “snack-bar” or zalogajnica (if I am translating it correctly) but…

Zadar – the postcards from the past
Today is the day of City of Zadar. November 24th is celebrated as the day of St Grisogono, the patron saint of Zadar that can be seen on the coat of arms of this city. This morning, we enjoyed a lovely walk down the city streets on a beautiful November morning. We walked the streets,…
Sunday’s Antique Fair in Zagreb

Secret Frmic Island
Numerous are places on our coast that were important in the past but are now completely forgotten. Probably the best example is the town of Osor between Cres and Losinj islands that was once a big city and nothing more than just a tiny hamlet today…with huge ruins. One of the places like that is…
Tour of Boka Bay (or Bay of Kotor)
Boka Bay and Gospa od Skrpjela… Sounds exotic even for us! It has been a while since I was there last and it was so nice to plan another trip! Boka Bay in Montenegro is a very special place and well worth visiting when in Dubrovnik area. It can be combined with a visit to…
