Many years ago, in the 70s and 80s of the last century, a boat excursion to the Kornati Islands was a „must“ for all tourists visiting Dalmatia. I always wanted to visit this group of harsh and bare islands, scattered like pebbles in the Adriatic Sea – but I never had the opportunity. On our […]

SNORKELING IN THE ADRIATIC SEA: FUN & RELAXATION
Snorkeling in Croatia and Montenegro is quite popular among tourists: it is fun, easy and inexpensive. Of course, the Adriatic Sea is not filled with colorful fish and coral reefs. That’s why snorkeling in these waters is not really spectacular, if compared to the Caribbean Sea or the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. So, why […]
SUMMER HOLIDAYS IN CAMP ROGAČ – SLANO
Summer 2015 will obviously be long and hot. Podgorica is suffering under extremely high temperatures and that was a good reason to travel to Croatia, where we spend our summer holidays in Camp Rogač in the village of Grgurići near Slano. It has already become a tradition to put our campervan on a spacious pitch, […]
BLUE HOUR IN DUBROVNIK
Dubrovnik has been a famous tourist attraction for many decades. But nowadays, the old town becomes crushed by its own popularity. More than one million cruise ship passengers arrived in the port of Dubrovnik last year. Each day, 300 buses were circling around the city center. For all the crush of the crowds, it is […]
ISLAND HOPPING IN CROATIA: THE ELAPHITI ISLANDS
When you are spending your holidays on the Dubrovnik Riviera, a boat tour to the Elaphiti Islands – a small archipelago stretching northwest of Dubrovnik – is a “must”. We booked a day trip from Slano with a visit to Šipan and Lopud, two of the three permanently inhabited islands. Of course, it is easier […]
STON, CROATIA: MEDIEVAL WALLS, SALT PANS AND OYSTERS
Ston, a small fortified town on the Pelješac Peninsula, about 54 km north-west of Dubrovnik, is becoming more and more popular as a tourist attraction. The defensive walls that surround the town are absolutely unique, but Ston is also famous for its oyster production and the 2000-years old salt works in the vicinity that have […]
EXPLORING UPPER KONAVLE: SOKOL GRAD AND MEDIEVAL TOMBSTONES
The Konavle region in Croatia stretches between Cavtat and the border with Montenegro. Many people have already passed through this fertile valley on their way to Dubrovnik or Čilipi Airport, but I suppose that the road through the upland of Konavle, with its picturesque stone villages on the karst slopes of Mount Snježnica (1234 m […]
A QUIET WEEKEND IN SLANO, CROATIA
Escaping from the crowded and noisy Montenegrin Coast, we spent a long weekend in Slano. Our dear friend Marijana, owner of Camp Rogač (rogač = carob) in Grgurići, provided us with a beautiful pitch, so that we could park our camper in the shadow of a big carob tree, just 20 m from the beach. […]
