Korcula

by solopes

Accessible from several points, this fantastic island is a must see, forbidden to miss. Korcula is a place to visit and to go, or a place to stay and...to rest.

Split

by solopes

The second biggest town of Croatia is in a privileged situation to work as a hub of the visitors of central Croatia. Sibenik, Krka, Trogir, Makarska and Hvar are less than one hour distant, and the town of Split itself has plenty of reasons to attract visitors, but I must confess that we had only a couple of hours to it.

Orebic

by solopes

No, unless I missed something, Orebic is not very important and beautiful. It only shares with Ston the circumstance of being the towns of the Peljesac peninsula, where I caught some of the most beautiful views of all the trip.

Ston

by solopes

Located in the wonderful Peljesac peninsula, this small town of Ston surprises by its long and strange walls, from where the sights spread over the salt mines.

Makarska Region

by solopes

Makarska is referred as the Croatian Riviera and it is beautiful, but we just rushed across it. It was enough, anyway, to see its landscape and seashore (not so pretty as Peljesac, in my opinion!).

Hvar

by solopes

One of the favorite spots for youngsters, Hvar it's a pleasant place, with good conditions for bathing. We only saw the main city, but my sons and friends spent a couple of days in the opposite side of the island, in a cheap and very nice place (So far, I couldn't convince them to write in VT!)

Trogir

by solopes

Almost a miniature of Dubrovnik, Trogir is a wonder. Easy to visit, it's another mandatory point in Central Croatia. The best of all are the views from the sea.

Vodice

by solopes

This ocean resort near Sibenik makes me confuse. The thousands of people enjoying the night showed the popularity of Vodice, but in front of my hotel, swimming was a nightmare. I couldn't check the beach, but I don't believe it would be possible to attract so many people if it didn't have the necessary conditions. Anyway, I must confess that Vodice was my worst experience in Croatia.

Make friends

by solopes

Travelling is always a pleasure, but it is better when things work well with all the group. We were the only Portuguese in a Spanish group, but quickly there were no strangers, and joy was the law. Nice fellows! Though my Spanish is awful, my experience says tha Spanish are the most joyful people in the world, nd we cannot get bored travelling with them.

Sibenik

by solopes

Sibenik merges the advantage of being a very beautiful town, with its situation by the National Park of Krka, another absolutely must see. We didn't have much more time in Sibenik then the expressly needed to visit St Jakob church, Unesco heritage, but I think that we saw the essential of the city.
