As the weather is terrible for the past few weeks and I cannot go anywhere but work on my web sites, I am starting to dig out materials from past hikes and travels… One of the sites that I was most excited about was definitely the alleged UFO landing site at The Pag Triangle near…

Secret Waterfalls Of Dalmatia – Bilusica buk
Our Facebook profile proved to be a great source of excellent people to meet and to learn more on Dalmatia and Croatia in general. There are many still hidden places well worth traveling to so, when our friend Jelena Burza invited us to visit tiny Radučić village, we just waited for nice weather to drive…
Sailing in Croatia – Šibenik regatta
We got invited to join our friends Ivana and Ozren on their Bavaria 50 for traditional 11th Šibenik Regatta held this Saturday. The forecast was ok for sailing with northern winds of up to 28 knots and temperatures of about 10 degrees Celsius or about 50 F. But bura wind made it seem much lower!…
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…
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…
Cetina River Spring
Cetina River Spring is one of those (many) places in Dalmatia that simply leaves you breathless. It was back in 2003 when we first visited, wife being pregnant for 8 months, followed by a VERY adventurous drive over Promina mountain to Drniš. This is an amazing part of Dalmatia! So, a week ago, we decided…
Glavas fortress
Hidden deep in the hillside of Dalmatia, just bellow the magnificent Dinara mountain, Glavas fortress (or Dinaric) is one of the most impressive fortresses from the medieval times! It was built in the 15th century as part of the defense shield against the Turks who were becoming increasingly dangerous with their raids and military campaigns…
Krka Waterfalls – National Park walking tour
Krka waterfalls is one of the most beautiful parts of Croatia and especially the Skradinski buk section: cascades, woods, lush vegetation, historic mills… Simply beautiful! That’s the reason why this part of the NP Krka is so popular and there is hardly a person coming to this part of Croatia that is not visiting at…
Snorkeling in Croatia
Snorkeling in Croatia is quite popular pastime for many tourists. Although the Adriatic sea is not filled with colorful fish and coral reefs abundant in life, snorkeling in Croatia is quite fun! From the inlets of Istria to the clear waters of Dalmatian coast and islands, fish, anemones, crabs, ship wrecks…all wait for explorers of…
Hiking the Secret Dalmatia way
Running the agency specializing in authentic experiences is always a pleasure but some days are even more pleasurable than the others! It is especially the case when I am taking some clients hiking! So, for the past few months I was in touch with the Frlekins of California who spend their summer on Prvić Island…
Hiking on Zrmanja
It has been a busy week and too much computer work took it’s toll on back, wrists, eyes… Getting out became necessary! So I called a good friend to join me on a short hike to Zrmanja’s beautiful Veliki Buk waterfall. We considered an alternative route that would be a bit more demanding but, of…
Hiking in Croatia – Manojlovac waterfalls
Numerous trails are getting forgotten and abandoned as people move in to the cities. More and more villages are left only to the old people and will slowly got hidden in bushes – draču i koprivu. One of those trails is the historic trail to Manojlovac waterfall on the upper flow of Krka River. Hidden…
Ghosts of Dvigrad
One of the places that was on my list of “must visit” for (too) long was Dvigrad in Istria. Finally, this morning, leaving Rovinj, I drove straight there. Visible from the highway high above the deep valley, Dvigrad is short drive from the turn to Rovinj. Actually, you look for signs to Kanfanar and then,…
Snakes in Dalmatia: Crvenkrpica (Zamenis situla)
Snakes! I know this is not the most favorite subject for many but I just love all animals and snakes are among my favorites! Unfortunately, I rarely see them… There are only two poisonous snake species in Croatia. The adder and nose-horned viper are poisonous, but if one acts quickly enough after being bitten, there…
Imotski – lakes and mountains of Dalmatia’s hidden heart
Imotski. It’s been on my list of travels for waaay too long! Few days back, we decided that it was enough. Few rainy days got to us and a sunny Saturday was simply a perfect day for a trip! Since we stayed in Split, with wife’s family for few days, Imotski was quite close –…
