The Highest Peak of Croatia – Sinjal
Hiking to Croatia’s highest peak . Sinjal (1831m) – is quite an experience as Dinara mountain offers stunning views and opportunity to enjoy nature at it’s wildest!
Pyramid of Dalmatia – the mystery continues?
In search of an ancient pyramid in Dalmatian hinterland
The sands of Susak Island
I always wanted to visit Susak. There is something (actually, A LOT of) unique about that island. Well off the radar, it is a peaceful paradise far away from popular and noisy islands of the Dalmatian coast.

Offroading in Croatia – Vransko jezero
As the season ended, I got back to the list of places I still had to visit. Despite being small, Dalmatia hides many riches and amazing places, unexpected views, historic and natural heritage. One of the places I had in mind for a while was the canyon on the northern shore of Vransko jezero. Vransko jezero is…

The hamlet is well marked with signs for traditional Bikijada: a festival of…
