This small and very beautiful castle is situated in the close surroundings of Zagreb, nearby the airport Pleso. It is completely newly renovated but still closed for the public visitors. According to some informations the castle will be open this year housing museum exhibits from the local region.
Omisalj is typical Mediterranean village although it could be considerate as a small town, having towns stucture with the main square and the surrounding streets which leading into the centre of the place. The old core of the place is in particularly beautifull with its stone made houses and narrow streets.The settlement is situated on a top of the hill, overlooking several bays and pretty large marine. There are number of very attractive beach resorts downhill the place.
If suppose your idea is to spend summer holidays "far of everything" then Porat at island of Krk is the perfect choice. It is very small fishermen's village with no hotels, no campings, one shop, one restaurant and small post office. The accomodation is available at the several houses built on purpose for renting the apartments and offering usual standards. Porat is place where one can enjoy in whole day bathing, fishing or hanging around, undisturbed by usual noisy crowd.
Njivice is small village on the island of Krk, in the northern Adriatic. It is again one of the resorts for the family oriented people who love to enjoy in idilyc and peacefull summer holidays, along with the kids. No highlits to see here except for the pitoresque stoned houses showing the imagination of their local craftwork builders. Njivice though offers very nice beach resorts for bathing and diving activities.
Sukosan is another small gem which makes part of the Zadar riviera situated less then 20 kilometres south of it. The place has very nice and interesting old core of the village made by stone exclusevelly, which giving to Sukosan very pitoresque look.Sukosan is family oriented touristic resort which offering great bathing and diving activities, but to my money it offers couple of great restaurants. Even if only passing by do not miss to taste seafood at "Konoba Guste", its black risotto from sepia is widely famous.
Filip Jakov is small coastal town situated about 40 kilometres south of Zadar. Once fishermen and farmers village turned into prevailed touristic place. It is propitious for family holidays especially if having small children. The place is idylic and very quiet but offering first class bathing resorts. As you could see on one of my enclosed pictures, the Blue Flag stands proudly at the main beach resprt of Filip Jakov, proving that sea-water is very clean and of first class.
The Kornati island national park is a group of 143 islands off the coast of Croatia that are uninhabited and quite barren with a unique nature and wildlife.Tking a boratrip around the islands is really interesting and many tours are done from the town of Zadar and you can of course visit them in your own boat if you have one.They have been inhabited in the past and you still have a few remains from that time aswell as some lighthouses and weather stations, but the rest is all left to nature and is peaceful and pure nature.
Hiking in Dalmatia during summer might be tough due to heat, I usuall do it early in the morning, sunrise can sometimes be just as gorgeous as sunset! On island Hvar I'd recommend a hike from village Sveta Nedjelja to a huge cave behind it with remains of old churches, really wonderful, named the Saint Lady of Snowhttp://members.virtualtourist.com/m/tt/54163/#TLand another hike from Humac to Grapceva cavehttp://members.virtualtourist.com/m/5471c/5e8c8/6/A massage in a spa center made of tipi tents near Skalinada restaurant & appartments in Zavala would be my choice to end a day of hiking on the southern side of Hvar! :o)Another interesting hike might be from Jelsa to Stari Grad, through ancient Greek 'hora' fields from arround 4th c.BC, which are still well preserved (under UNESCO World Heritage Site program).picture here, far left side bay is Stari Grad, far righ...
Krka National Park is situated close to Sibenik and contains swimming holes, boardwalks and many nice picnic grounds to visit. It is worth spending a few hours looking around Krka and even if you wih not to swim, catch the bus down the the falls and take the small loop walk around the main falls and swimming holes.
Taking a walk along the city walls is the perfect way to make your memories of Dubrovnik unforgettable. The top of wall that surrounds the old city is perfect for taking in and photographing Dubrovnik’s unique skyline of domes and towers rising above the red roofs of quaint houses. The walls are an ideal place to observe the busy city life and watch the bustling daily activities of tourists and city residents.
