Snake Lapad Beach, Dubrovnik - Croatia march 2023

Dubrovnik

I had mixed feelings about visiting Dubrovnik, but was pleasantly surprised in the end. Pre-Covid it had become a prime example of over tourism, with vast numbers of cruise ship passengers and other visitors swamping the Old Town. Though very busy on a Saturday in early June 2023 it was reasonably straightforward to avoid the masses, by venturing down the backstreets or visiting the quiet…

Dubrovnik day 1 -

We awoke and took in the views from the balcony. Becca went on a run to the top of the main hill in Dubrovnik while the rest of us lazed about. On her return we headed for the old town to do the “wall walk” (walking along all the fortified walls around the old city). This was listed as a “must do” in Dubrovnik pretty much everywhere but we were a bit surprised at the high prices when walking up to the ticket desk. Thankfully the guy took pity on us and told us after asking everyones ages and us truthfully saying the twins were 7, “those two are 6 today if anyone asks” and thus saving us the price of 2 more tickets. The wall walk was very scenic, slightly crowded and pretty darn hot (as Luka had warned us, so we brought lots of water). Soon after starting we met a family from LA with 2 kids of similar ages to ours and a dad named Matt (we keep meeting Matts everywhere this trip!). We had a good time talking to them a bit while exploring the wall and were particularly excited to see a basketball court with a strange bend in to fit it all in as well as some soccer goals down below. Our LA friends told us they were staying right by there and as far as they knew it was a free public court open to all comers. We then completed the wall walk loop in the heat with the requisite medium amount of child whining. Afterwards, we got gelato at Peppinos to celebrate and checked out the main drag in Dubrovnik and did some souvenir hunting as well. We then headed back to our place and changed into beach gear and checked out Banje beach which was just down the hill from our place and turned out to be rocky/pebbly (as most beaches here are) but otherwise super-nice. We relaxed/swam/played there for a few hours then hit the showers at our place (Matt also slickly negotiated a speedboat rental for the next day on the way home, talked the guy down by 80 euros but still didn't impress his shrewd negotiator of a wife). After rinsing off, we grabbed the soccer ball and headed out to find the free court we’d seen earlier. After only one wrong turn we located the correct court up a considerable amount of stairs and were surprised to find it empty despite it cooling off a bit in the evening and now being in the shade. We had a rousing game of soccer in which the parents clearly demonstrated their superior soccer ability to the children, then called it a day after everyone was tired and drenched in sweat. We then caught a bus to the suburb of Lapad in search of a Japanese restaurant that Matt had read about in Lonely Planet. It turned out to have a new name, but we still found it and after some waffling by the host who told us initially there was no table, the eventually told us they could seat us so long as we were done by 8:30 (it was 6:45ish on seating). We easily accomplished this time window and all enjoyed a variety of tasty sushi/noodle/curry/gyoza dishes which were a welcome change of pace after 2+ weeks of tomato/cheese/carb based meals. We then caught the bus home and tried to call it an early-ish night but still ended up getting kids down around 10 pm (the European lifestyle is rubbing off).

A Juander Land #37: Halina't Maglakbay sa Boracay!

Isinulat nina Adrian Sales at Regina Dimalanta

Kilala ang mga Pilipino bilang mga indibidwal na palagiang nagnanais ng panibagong karanasan lalo na sa panahon kung kailan walang masyadong pinagkaka-abalahan ang karamihan - tuwing bakasyon. Dahil sa pangkaraniwang init ng klima ng Pilipinas tuwing Marso hanggang Mayo, ang matinding sikat ng araw ay nag-uudyok sa mga tao na magtampisaw sa natural o artipisyal na katawang-tubig. Kasabay ng pagbili ng sorbetes upang mabawasan ang alinsangan, tanyag ang pagpunta ng masa sa isa sa pinakamagandang mga tanawing matatagpuan sa Pilipinas na mayroong pinung-pino at napakaputing buhangin - ang isla ng Boracay. Samahan niyo kaming magbalik-tanaw sa aming paglalakbay tungo sa mala-paraisong isla ni Juan. Halina't maglakbay sa Boracay!

PANIMULA

Noong Marso 2016, dinayo namin ang white sand beach sa Pilipinas na hindi nawawala sa listahan ng pinakamagagandang dagat sa buong mundo. Ayon sa kaalaman ng lahat na pinagtibay pa ng isang internasyonal magasin tungkol sa pandaigdigang paglalakbay, ang kombinasyon ng tubig, buhangin, kapaligiran, at ugali ng mga tao ay ang dahilan sa likod ng atraksyon ng Boracay sa mga turista. Dahil napapanahon noong Marso na maalinsangan ang panahon, naisipan naming punan ang aming inip at init sa pamamagitan ng pagpunta sa isla ng Boracay - ang isla ng kasaysayan, kagandahan, at kasiyahan.

KALAGAYANG HEOGRAPIKAL

Ang isla ng Boracay ay matatagpuan sa pangunahing pulo ng Visayas sa Rehiyon VI ng bansa, partikular sa hilagang-kanlurang sulok ng probinsya ng Aklan. Nakapaloob sa sekondaryang pulo ng Panay, ito ay maituturing na panibagong maliit na islang may lapad na isang kilometro at habang pitong kilometro. Bagamat hindi ito kasinlaki ng ibang tanawin, dinarayo ang Boracay dahil sa malinis na katubigan at pinong buhanging taglay ng labing-pitong dalampasigang matatagpuan dito. Kabilang sa nabanggit na dalampasigan ay ang tatlo sa pinakadinarayong destinasyon sa isla na Puka Shell Beach, White Beach, at Tambisaan Beach. Bilang karagdagan, matatagpuan ang Boracay sa katimugang bahagi ng tropikal na distrito kung saan kinokondisyon ng dagat ang klima, at ang ideyang ito ay nagreresulta sa tropikal na klima ng isla na may sukat na 26°C. Dahil dito, tumataas ang antas ng presipitasyon at bilang ng bagyo mula Hunyo hanggang Nobyembre kaya inirerekomendang bumisita sa Boracay sa buwan ng Disyembre hanggang sa buwan ng Mayo.

Nahahati ang isla ng Boracay sa tatlong pangunahing istasyon upang mas mapadali ang paghahati ng aktibidad na angkop sa interes ng mga turista. Ang unang istasyon ay kinapapalooban ng mga mamahaling hotel at kainan, at nagtataglay ng pinakapinong buhangin sa buong isla. Sa kabilang banda, ang ikalawang istasyon ay ang pinaka-abalang destinasyon sa tatlong istasyon sapagkat dito matatagpuan ang mga pamilihan at kainan. Panghuli, ang ikatlong istasyon ay hindi gaanong dinadagsa ng mga tao dahil hindi ganoon karami ang matutulugan at makakainan dito.

ADMISYON

Higit sa kaalaman ng lahat, walang direktang paraan upang makapunta sa isla ng Boracay sapagkat nangangailangan munang manggaling sa palapagan ng karatig-bayan. Ang bawat turista ng Boracay ay maaaring manggalin mula sa Godofredo P. Ramos Airport, o ang Caticlan Airport, na pinakamalapit palapagan sa patutunguhang isla. Gayunpaman, pinili namin na sumakay ng eroplano mula sa Maynila hanggang sa Kalibo Airport, higit na malayong palapagan kaysa sa Caticlan Airport, sapagkat hindi ganoong kamahalan ang presyo ng paglipad papunta roon. 

Mula sa palapagan, sumakay kami ng van upang makatungo sa Caticlan Pier, at ang daungang ito ay nagsisilbing huling hakbang para makarating sa isla ng Boracay. Kinakailangang bumili ng ticket upang makasakay ng bangka mula sa daungan hanggang sa tinutudlang destinasyon. Masasabi namin na may sampu hanggang dalawampung minutong katagalan ang byahe sa karagatan. Sulit ang komplikadong proseso ng admisyon nang dumaong ang bangka at tumungtong ang aming paa sa isla ng Boracay. Bilang karagdagan, mayroong mga traysikel na maaaring rentahan upang mapuntahan ang kinoordinang bahay-tuluyan.

AKOMODASYON

Upang masulit ang pagpunta sa Boracay, pinili ng A Juander Land na pansamantalang tumuloy sa unang istasyon ng isla. Masasabing ang mga tuluyang imprastraktura sa unang istasyon ay may kamahalan kung ikukumpara sa mga kainan at tirahan sa ikalawa at ikatlong istasyon. Dahil sa presyo ng nabanggit na distrito at dahil na rin sa pagbisita namin sa Boracay sa buwan ng Marso, buwan kung kailan mataas ang interes ng tao sa isla, tumungtong sa halagang P14,000 ang napili naming tuluyan na Discovery Shores Boracay. Masasabi naming sulit ang presyo na aming binayad, bagaman may kamahalan, sapagkat ang presyong aming binayad ay naging epektibo sa loob ng dalawang araw at tatlong gabi. Dahil na rin maituturing na 5-star hotel Discovery Shores Boracay, malinis, maayos, at maganda ang bawat sulok ng lugar. Inihahandog nila ang dalawang kwarto, dalawang palikuran,  sala, kusina, labahan, at terasa. Mayroon ding pribadong languyan o swimming pool kung saan pinahihintulutan ang paglangoy o pagbabad anumang oras. 

KASAYSAYAN

Sa paglilibot sa mala-paraisong lugar, maraming mga tourist guide ang maaaring malapitan upang mapadali ang paglalakbay at maparami ang kaalaman sa lugar. Habang ginagabayan kami patungo sa mga makasaysayang kweba sa Boracay tulad ng Bat Cave, Crystal Cove, at Buslugan Cave, nabanggit ng mga mamamayang nakatira sa isla ang tungkol sa kasaysayan ng lugar. Ayon sa kanila, nagmula ang salitang “Boracay” mula sa mga salitang “bora” na nangangahulugang bula at “bocay” na ibig sabihin ay puti. Sinasalamin ng etimolohiya ng pangalan ng isla ang pisikal na katangian ng malinis at mabulang tubig ng dagat at ng puting bungahin ng dalampasigan. 

Bilang karagdagan, nasabi rin na minsang naging tahanan ng mga Aeta ang pulo noong kakaunting tao pa lamang ang nakakakilala sa hiwaga ng lugar. Hindi nagtagal, nadiskubre ng mga manlalakbay, na pinapangunahan ni Jens Peteris, ang maliit na isla sa kasuluk-sulukan ng isang pulo noong 1970. Sapagkat sila rin ay mga manunulat, nalimbag ang libro tungkol sa kabigha-bighaning tanawin at heograpiyang mayroon ang Boracay. Ayon sa kanilang mga naisulat, ipinahiwatig sa libro na ang Boracay ay ang pinakamagandang isla sa buong Asya. Sa pamamagitan ng pagkuha ng mga litrato, nakagawa sila ng isang postcard na nakadagdag sa pagkikila sa pag-unlad ng nasabing isla. Dahil sa pangyayaring ito, nakilala ang hiwaga at yamang tinataglay ng Boracay, at naging isang tanyag na destinasyon ng mga turista sa Pilipinas.

MGA BAGAY NA MAAARING GAWIN SA BORACAY

Iba’t ibang uri ng aktibidad ang maaaring gawin upang masulit ang pagpunta sa isla. Sa loob ng tatlong araw naming pamamalagi, naranasan naming matuwa, matakot, at mamangha sa aming karanasan na panghabang-buhay na nakalimbag sa aming memorya.

Island Hopping

Ang larawan ay nagmula sa Traveloka, at hindi personal na kinuha ng mga manlalakbay.

Sa unang araw namin sa Boracay, naranasan naming sumakay ng bangka, magpakuha ng litrato sa mga kilalang tanawin, sumisid sa dagat, at mabusog sa yamang-dagat. Dahil sa presensya ng yamang-tubig at yamang-lupa sa Boracay at sa kapaligiran nito, naging tanyag na gawain ang paglilipat-lipat sa mga isla gamit ang bangka. Kasama ang ibang turista, nagbayad kami ng P600 bawat isa bilang renta sa isang bangka na may kapasidad na dalawampu’t limang tao. Gamit ang sasakyang pandagat na aming sinakyan, nakapunta kami sa apat na tanyag na isla at tanawin.

Ang unang destinasyon ay ang Crocodile Island na kahugis ng buwaya. Sa loob ng tatlumpung minuto, sumisid kami sa kailaliman ng dagat na may suot na goggles at breathing tube upang mapakain namin ang mga isda. 

Ikalawa, nagtungo kami sa Crystal Cove kung saan kinakailangan munang daanan ang matarik at makitid na landas upang makapagpakuha ng magandang litrato sa tanawin. Gayunpaman, hindi namin ininda ang pagod sapagkat labis na nakabibighaning panuorin ang hampas ng alon ng bughaw na karagatan sa lugar na ito.

Ang ikatlong destinasyon ay ang Piknikan Island kung saan isang masarap na panghalian ang naghihintay sa mga turista. Malawak ang maaaring pagpiliang pagkain upang matugunan ang pagod ng katawan dahil may mga isda, alimasag, hipon, prutas, at gulay sa isang malaking mesa.

Pagkatapos naming mabusog sa sarap ng mga pagkain, tumuloy na kami sa Puka Beach bilang aming huling destinasyon. Tanyag sa dalampasigang ito ang mga makikinang na koral at kabibi na nagrereplika ng makulay at mabusising disenyo.

Banana Boat Ride, Fly Fish, at Paddle Boarding

Ang larawan ay hindi personal na kinuha ng mga manlalakbay, at nanggaling lamang sa kumpanyang Philippine Trip Advisor.

Maraming pangkatubigang aktibidad ang magagawa sa dagat nang hindi lumalayo sa napiling distritong panuluyan, at ilan na lamang dito ang banana boat ride, fly fish, at paddleboarding. Sa aming ikalawang araw, sinulit namin ang pagtampisaw sa malamig at malinis na tubig na nagbigay ng labis na kasiyahan at kilig sa aming mga turista. Bagamat medyo malalim ang parte ng dagat na pupuntahan upang masagaw nang maayos ang bawat aktibidad, isa itong magandang paraan upang makasama ang mahal natin sa buhay.

Una, ang banana boat ride ay pagsakay ng limang hanggang sampung tao sa mga dilaw na bangkang hugis saging. Sapagkat ang mga bangka ay inflatable at maituturing sa speed boat, matulin ang takbo at pagliko ng mga ito - dahilan kung bakit naging higit na nakakasabik ang aktibidad. Tila hamon ang pagpapanatili ng balanse upang patuloy na makasakay sa hugis-saging na bangka. Bilang karagdagan, ang pagbagsak namin sa tubig bilang resulta ng kawalan ng balanse ay nakadagdag kasiyahan sa aming mukha.

Ikalawa, ang fly fish ay isang aktbibidad kung saan ang mga turista mismo ang nagsisilbing mga isdang lumilipad. Ang inflatable ng bangka kung saan nakapatong ang mga turista ay hinihila ng isang bangkang tumatakbo nang matulin. Isang bitaw sa kapit ng bangka ay magreresulta sa pagkahulog ng turista sa malamig na dagat. 

Ikatlo, ang paddle boarding ay pagsagwan sa maliit at deretsong bangka na maaring rentahan. Akmang-akma ang aktibidad na ito para sa aming hindi eksperto sa pagbalanse ng sarili sa tubig. Dahil maaari naming hawakan ang sarili naming oras sa nabanggit na gawain, ito ay nagsilbing pampatay-oras hanggang sa sumapit ang paglubog ng araw.

Siteseeing

Ang larawan ay nagmula sa The Trip Guru, at hindi personal na kinuha ng mga manlalakbay.

Pagsapit ng hapon, pumunta kami sa Willy’s Rock na isang rock formation na may ilang metro lamang ang layo sa dalampasigan. Inirekomenda sa amin ng mga tourist guide at maging ang ibang turistang katulad namin na tumungo kami dito upang galugarin ang detalye ng pagkakatayo ng mga bato. Maraming tao ang dumadayo dito upang manuod ng takipsilim o ang palubog ng araw sapagkat kaaya-aya sa mata kung pagmamasdan ang Willy’s Rock kasabay ng paglubog ng araw.

Cliff Diving

Ang larawan ay hindi personal na kinuha ng mga manlalakbay, at nanggaling lamang sa kumpanyang Klook.

Inumpisahan namin ang aming ikatlong araw sa pamamagitan ng maagang cliff diving sa Ariel’s Point. Ang lugar na ito ay may iba’t ibang taas na labing-limang metro, walong metro, at tatlong metro na nakadepende kung saan nakapwesto ang isang indibidwal. Ang pagtalon namin mula sa taas na walong metro patungo sa bughaw ng tubig ay gumising sa aming diwa. Bagamat may pangamba, naging kahali-halina ang tilamsik ng tubig dulot ng presyon ng pagbagsak. Sa katunayan, maraming turista ang narito upang pagmasdan ang lawak ng dagat at labanan din ang kanilang takot sa pagtalon mula sa mataas na lugar.

PASALUBONG

Sa aming ikatlong gabi ay naglipana ang mga nagtitinda ng mga souvenir at pasalubong na maaaring itabi para sa pansariling memorya o gawing regalo sa pag-uwi ng sariling probinsya. Ang mga binebentang damit ay may kasamang pagpipiliang disenyo, at ang napiling kulay at detalye ay ibuburda o iguguhit sa biniling damit gamit ang talento ng mga nagtitinda. Hindi rin mawawala ang mga keychain na maaari ring pag-ukitan ng anumang salitang nais mong matunghayang sa napiling disenyo tulad ng salitang “Boracay”. Bilang karagdagan, maaari ring bumili ng mga aksoserya, tulad ng polseras, hikaw, at kwintas, hindi pangkaraniwan sapagkat gawa ang mga ito sa talukap ng kabibi, tahong, at ibang yamang-dagat. 

KONKLUSYON

Tatlong araw lamang ang tinagal namin sa isla ng Boracay, ngunit sa maikling panahong nabanggit, maraming bagay ang pinaranas at pinaramdam ng pulo na dadalhin namin hanggang sa aming pag-uwi sa minamahal naming probinsya. Bukod sa nakakabighaning tanawin, napakapino at napakaputing buhangin, napakalinis na tubig, napakasarap na pagkain, at nakakahalinang pasalubong, natanggap namin ang pagmamahal ng mga taong nakatira sa isla, natuto kami ng bagong kaalaman, at natunghayan namin ang kasariwaan ng kalikasan. Bilang turista ng sarili naming bayan, ng bayan ni Juan, hinding-hindi mapapalitan ng anumang halaga ng pera at anumang gaan ng katawan ang mga bagay na aming natanggap. Bagamat hindi kami roon nakatira, maituturing namin ang Boracay bilang aming tahanan - lugar kung saan ang aming damdamin at puso ay nakapahinga.

Hanggang sa susunod naming paglalakbay, Boracay.

Dubrovnik Beaches to Visit

Kotor is one of the most popular and interesting places to visit while on vacation to Montenegro and it is situated near the Croatian Border. You can walk around the city walls or head out to Mljet Island which is one of the most beautiful islands along the Croatian Coast. It's one of Croatia's best beach clubs. To read about dubrovnik banje beach follow the link.

Take a stroll inside one of six remaining amphitheaters in the world at the Dubrovnik beaches, which during the summer becomes a stage for concert performances, plays and movie projections. So far he has visited six Mediterranean countries, and taken in 2,445 beaches, documenting each meticulously. 

Dubrovnik Beaches

Outstanding quality food and drink at incredible value combined with the clean water, less-than-crowded beaches and friendly, helpful approach of the locals immediately makes the Croatian Tourist slogan of: "The Mediterranean as it once was" ring true.

This tourist attraction is situated in a notable Croatian city called Zagreb and offers magnificent artwork of eminent artists, such as Van Dyck, Lorenzetti, Renoir and many others. The beautiful Cathedral located on Capitol Hill was the residence of the first bishop of Zagreb. As implied, this palace was built by Roman Emperor Diocletian in the 4th century, both as a luxurious residence and as a military fortress. You can also be an active part of the sailing excursions which will help you explore the region. Sailing trips can be relaxing, but also filled with adrenaline at the best Dubrovnik beaches. 

Although such cruises can be fun, they are nothing compared to a trip to the Adriatic Sea. In fact, the clarity of its waters can allow you to have a clear view of the sea floor even when you are 15 meters away. In addition to an indoor and outdoor pool, hotel guests have access to a small, private pebble beach. Because Beach Buza is located in a super random, unexpected spot that is essentially the edge of a cliff, there are only a few ways to access it. Located just outside of the Old Town wall, Beach Buza basically sits on a cliff between the Old Town wall and the sea.

Without a doubt Banje Beach is the most popular and busy of the beaches in Dubrovnik. The city of Split is almost the antithesis of Dubrovnik. Right now the city is entirely reconstructed, but the human lost was huge and the memory is still fresh. The city was covered in tunnels, bunkers and secret passageways for the armed forces. No, it will not remind you of Rio, but this is a perfectly pleasant beach on the Babin Kuk peninsula. This is the place for an easy, relaxing beach holiday. Hotels: Stay on the Babin Kuk peninsula and Copacabana beach is an easy stroll. Lapad is a peninsula and suburb of Dubrovnik located northwest of the Old Town. There you will come across plethora of hotels in Dubrovnik to choose from. There are many destinations in Europe, which are famous for the quality of their beaches, their temperate climates, and the excellent assortment of resorts that are available. There are three islands to visit, each providing its own unique attractions, from fruit orchards to beautiful beaches. Sandy beaches are a rarity in Croatia! Of course that’s not the only reason travelers want to visit Croatia.

Before you decide to buy Croatia property through any agent you should assess various factors. But a deck chair will not buy you an admission to the toilets (you pay them separately, should you need them). But if the chic beach hat look isn’t your thing a cute baseball cap will do. The most important thing is that the sea isn’t inhabited by sharks and dangerous jellyfish which make it safe. The last thing you want to deal with on your vacation is stepping on a sea urchin. As for the other half, that is where mere mortals go for free and enjoy the same old sea. Cycling is arguably, the best way to explore the narrow island of Korcula; mainly due to its already established cycling facilities and the amazing sea panoramas you get while pedaling away! And in Finland, public health officials now recommend that citizens get 5 hours a month, minimum, in the woods, in order to stave off depression.

Sunj Beach is a sandy beach located on the island of Lopud, at the far end from the main village. His aim with the BeachRex project is to create the biggest online database of beaches in the world to help people find their perfect beach in a flash. The island was major base for British troops during World War II. The island of Susak is well worth a visit. Brac is the largest island in Central Dalmatia and the third largest in the Adriatic. After you finish your day - whether soaking in the sun or taking in the sights, you'll be happy to know that Dalmatia loves the Italian tradition of the midday siesta. 

Let us know in the comments below! Jerolim is the most famous islet in Pakleni which are loved by naturist. And they are not too pricey either. Croats are very resourceful. At Cala Spalmatoio, Giannutri's main landing point, in the 1960s a charming tourist village was built, characterized by terraced houses with elegant flower gardens and a small square in Capri style, overlooked by some commercial establishments. This walled community captivates visitors with its vibrant markets, medieval squares, palaces, old buildings and tourist establishments.

Life Never Stops. Adventure awaits in Croatia.

Life never seems to stop in Croatia and there is always an adventure awaiting you in the European gem.  Bordering the Adriatic Sea, Hungary, Serbia, Slovenia, and Bosnia, the country of Croatia is at the crossroads of Southern Europe and Central Europe. Although people have been living in the area for centuries prior, it was in 1102 that the then Kingdom of Croatia established monarchical ties with Hungary and was recognized under the Kingdom of Austria-Hungary as an autonomous country. By the end of the first world war, and the end of the Hapsburg Empire, Croatia then found itself merged under the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Croatia has since found itself in some difficult positions in the mid-20th century. After WWII it was part of Communist Yugoslavia until the 1980s when the leader of the country Josip Broz Tito died and tensions in the Balkans escalated in the 90s. 

Croatia in the modern world is a popular tourist destination with any problems it might have had 30 years ago, virtually non-existent. While Croatian is the most commonly spoken language here with English, German, and Italian spoken near most of the coastal cities and tourist destinations. Despite not being the largest country in Europe it is incredibly diverse with snowy mountains in the north, plains and fields on the Hungarian border, and Mediterranean sun along the coast. Croatia is a beautiful place with tons to discover so head out there and check out some of the best things to do in Croatia. 

  Dubrovnik

  Explore Old Dubrovnik: Sitting on the Adriatic Coast the city of Dubrovnik is sometimes referred to as the “pearl of the Adriatic”. The city is simply stunningly beautiful with the old town being the center of life right on the water. The whole area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and during the middle ages, it was the only city-state in the area that rival nearby Venice. The best way to get to know the area is simply to ditch the map, don’t check your smartphone, and wander around. The space is small and might feel a little claustrophobic with winding streets, alleyways, and corridors but many signs and shops will advertise whatever it is they sell (food, cafes, general stores, etc). The city walls that once protected it are now some of the best spots to get a panoramic view of the city or the water and the famous Pile Gate, built in 1537 still offers some incredible sights as it is one of the city’s most iconic structures. 

Spend a day at the Beach: If you’re visiting during the summer months, Croatia can get pretty hot. While you certainly won’t be the only one with the idea to spend a hot summer’s day at the beach, the beaches around Dubrovnik are pretty lively, fun, and safe. Lapad beach is easily one of the more popular beaches in town that’s well-taken care of, is completely pedestrianized, and has plenty of bars and cafes nearby if you’re looking for a snack or a drink. 

Banje Beach is another popular place that’s near the old town though it is less sandy and more pebbly. There is a small entrance fee though this usually means the space is taken care of and is more relaxed and low-key than free public beaches. Enjoy a drink while you lay on a sun lounger and take in the views of the old town and the Adriatic. 

Visit the haunted Island of Daksa: There is a large boating culture in Dubrovnik with people from all over sailing their boats and yachts to the marina for a day or a couple of nights. But just off the coast of the city is the little idyllic Daksa Island that is said to be haunted. The island has a centuries-old Franciscan monastery, lighthouse, and plenty of green forest space. So why is this beautiful little island haunted? In the aftermath of WWII, many countries in Europe took it upon themselves to root out any remaining Nazis and Nazi sympathizers in an act of national pride. When the victorious Yugoslav partisans entered the city looking for Nazis they rounded up anywhere between 50 and 100 people including the mayor and priest, brought them to Daksa Island, and shot them. The bodies were simply left to rot when they landed without any real guilt or innocence determined for any of them. In 2010 whatever remains were found were buried properly and since, the island has been up for sale, with a surprisingly cheap price of only 2 million Euros. Though, it is perhaps unsurprising why nobody wants it. 

Marvel at some Art in a Historic building: Visiting Dubrovnik and saying that you’re going somewhere that is “historic” might be kind of a silly thing to say considering the whole place is full of historic buildings but the Sebastian Art Gallery is a small and unimposing place that is filled with priceless art. In the heart of the old city is the Saint Sebastian Church built in 1469 by Dominican monks. The monastery has since become an art gallery showcasing priceless works of art from Croatian artists and designers. Check out the paintings, glassworks, sculptures, and other treasures right in the heart of the old city.

Zagreb has a more medieval city look with gothic architecture and cobblestone streets that resemble Prague, Vienna, and other central European cities.

Zagreb

Explore The Upper and Lower City: While Dubrovnik offers coastal views and seaside charm, Zagreb is the more urban city in Croatia. The city is the capital of the country and is home to over 1 million people. Zagreb has a more medieval city look with gothic architecture and cobblestone streets that resemble Prague, Vienna, and other central European cities. The biggest tourist spots in the city are in the Gornji Grad (Upper Town) and Dornji Grad (Lower Town). It’s where you’ll find most restaurants, shops, cafes, and bars and is historically, the medieval core of Zagreb.  

Visit the City’s Eccentric Museums: Like many major European cities, the cultural heart of the town will usually have museums devoted to modern art, local history, or showcases dedicated to local artists. While Zagreb does have these things, why not look at some of the more weird and eccentric museums the city has to offer. 

One such museum is the Museum of Broken Relationships. Started by two artists who couldn’t part with their belongings of lost love, they opened the museum so that the items could remain together. While simple in theory, the idea took off and the museum’s exhibits traveled around Europe and North American gaining popularity and more and more donations. A permanent museum opened here in Zagreb and while some of the items are mundane like teddy bears and love letters, a collection of oddities also is on display such as a taser, a vial of tears, and a prosthetic leg. 

While the Museum of Broken Relationships is a little odd, for something a little more mundane (though still unique) check out the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art. While many museums feature fine art the Croatian Museum of Naïve Art is the sort of the opposite of that. Many great artists have formal training, they trained under other great artists or went to a school to learn the finer points of art but everything on display here is more down to earth. The artists featured here are regular working-class and middle-class people. They’re self-taught, didn’t go to art school, and have no formal training, yet the pieces are all striking examples of their everyday normality. 

Hike to the Fortress of Medvedgrad: The imposing mountain that overlooks the city is Medvednica and it is also home to the fortress of Medvedgrad. The mountain is over 1000 meters high and as such, it is a bit of an imposing trek but if you’re looking to hike and get into nature and out of the city, this is the place to do it. Walking and biking paths are well laid out so even the inexperienced hikers won’t have too much trouble. At the top when you reach Medvedgrad, the fortress offers the best views of Zagreb and there are cafes, rest stops, and restaurants there. Guests should be aware however that Medvedgrad is the site of the “Altar of the Homeland” memorial dedicated to Croatian soldiers so do be respectful of the space.

Split

Spend a day at Diocletian’s Palace: Split is the biggest city after Zagreb and it is a sort of middle ground between the old historic Dubrovnik and the more urban Zagreb. That being said, Split is still full of interesting places to see such as the Palace of Diocletian. Overlooking the Adriatic Sea, the palace ground was built in 305 AD for Diocletian after his retirement. Diocletian spent 4 years living here until his suicide in 311 AD. Looking at the palace, the building resembles more of a fort than a palace with high walls, gates, and a bell tower. In the modern era, the area is used for concerts, tours, entertainment, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Spend a day or two In Hvar: The island of Hvar is located a short ferry ride away from Split and is one of the most fashionable places in the country to visit. The city is relatively small but the pedestrian-only walkways, rolling green hills, and lavender fields make a trip here absolutely worth it. Hvar is along the Adriatic coast and has both Italian and Croatian influence dating back to when it was ruled by the Venetians. Because of that, expect ornate Italian architecture in the town’s square and 16th-century church, as well as some of the best seafood you can find in the country. 

Eat: Of course no matter where you go, you’ll have to eat but there’s a reason why the “Mediterranean diet” is revered as one of the healthiest. The food in Split is among some of the best around and some of the freshest. Markets are abundant and some local specialties include Soparnik, a crepe-style flat dough filled with swiss chard, onions, and baked in a fireplace before it’s topped with olive oil and garlic. Dalmatian-style gnocchi can be found in many restaurants, and Ćevapčići is pork, beef, or lamb that’s minced, rolled, and then grilled and served with onions and Ajvar. With Italy just across the Adriatic, there is also no shortage of delicious pasta, risottos, and other Italian-influenced dishes.

Party at Carpe Diem Europe is home to some amazing clubs and Carpe Diem is Split’s hottest spot. Located off an island off the island of Hvar, Carpe Diem is where you can dance the night away on a private island with big energy and even bigger DJs. Performers and artists are usually internationally renowned and on tour. Boats leave from the docks at Split to Hvar, then from there to the island.

  Our Final Word

From the old cobblestone streets of Dubrovnik to the medieval capital of Zagreb, Croatia is full of amazing things to experience. The views of the Adriatic and the amazing fresh food are not to be missed while the architecture of the city’s make everywhere you look feel like you’re in some kind of fairytale. Hike the mountains or lounge on the beach, or do both! Croatia is there for any kind of traveler.
