As we are spending our summer – as usual – in Slano, Southern Dalmatia, it is easy to visit the nearby peninsula of Pelješac, which is small enough to cover by car in one day (its length is 70 km only). Pelješac is connected with the mainland by the recently constructed Pelješac Bridge, while the […]

5 HIDDEN GEMS OF SOUTHERN DALMATIA
As we are spending our corona-summer in Southern Dalmatia, we have got plenty of time to explore some less known places in the surroundings of Slano, where we feel perfectly relaxed at our beloved Camp Rogač. Except for its highlights – Dubrovnik and the splendid beaches, Southern Dalmatia hides many historical, architectural and natural attractions. […]
THE GREEN ISLAND OF MLJET
Enjoying our traditional summer holiday at Camp Rogač in Slano, we thought it a good idea to visit Mljet that is considered to be one of the most beautiful islands of Croatia. We were told that this unspoiled island, covered with dense Mediterranean forests, is a paradise for anyone looking to get away from the […]
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, […]
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 […]
DISCOVER VJETRENICA: THE “WIND CAVE” IN BOSNIA & HERZEGOVINA
Most tourists traveling along the Adriatic Highway from the Montenegrin border in northern direction do not know anything about „Vjetrenica“, a cave in Herzegovina that is visible on a well-marked road sign along the Highway, around 30 km north from Dubrovnik near Slano. Strange enough, this is one of the most impressive caves in the […]
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. […]
