Ston wall and fortress
  By Andreja 

The original length of the Ston Fortress is 7,000 m. It consists of the walls of Ston and Little Ston and the Great Wall with three fortresses. The official defense corps has been formed for almost four centuries, due to the adaptation of the field and the development of weapons. The walls were of great importance because they defended the city, the shellfish farm, and the saltworks, which donated 15,900 ducats per year to the Dubrovnik Republic.

The Famous beaches in Croatia
  By Andreja 

Trip Advisor has recently published a list of 25 of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and we are curious, why is there no beach in Croatia on the list?
For few days we were in the state of  ‘no comment’ or ‘silenzio stampa’, definitely ‘media blackout’. But, then we made the list for you of the 15 most beautiful beaches in Croatia which are most attractive to tourists, although there are many beautiful beaches on the Croatian coast. It was challenging to distinguish 15 most beautiful beaches in Croatia because our coastline is the second most indented coastline in Europe with a large number of islands, islets, cliffs, and ridges. Shores are mostly rocky and pebble, but there are a couple of sandy beaches ideal for those who usually choose exotic holiday destinations.
The mountains that descend into the sea, the romantic coves and the clear sea of the Adriatic Sea will provide you with a unique experience!

1. Zlatni Rat Beach (Bol, Brač Island)

The best time to travel to Croatia
  By Andreja 

What is the best time to travel to Croatia?

When planning a vacation, you want to make a right decision while choosing the time to visit a certain country or maybe even pick your destination depending on the time of the year, don’t you?

People who plan to come to Croatia often automatically think of it as a summer destination, and they’re not wrong at all! Beautiful Croatian coast and tempting and aquamarine blue sea call for a holiday that will never fade away unlike the suntan! And who wouldn’t want to spend the summer holidays the best and most relaxed way possible? Places like Hvar, Trogir, and Zadar are breathtaking as the time flies, but did you know that you can also spend a part of your summer in Zagreb and surprise yourself how much fun you can have even if you’re not at the coast?

And what about other seasons? Croatia’s quite mild and colorful climate allows you to easily enjoy your stay there no matter what time of the year is.
Spring is ideal to visit any location in Croatia you’d like, the temperatures are perfect and the cities look amazing while calling you to sit on a terrace and sip coffee. The weather in spring is great, just perfect to lay on the beach and to explore to chill and to enjoy!
Autumn is reserved for some relaxation in nature and different kind of hedonism. Visit Ilok, the place where Croatia’s most excellent wines are made or encourage yourself to try out truffle hunting!

Winter is an ideal period to visit Europe’s best Christmas market, right here in Zagreb! And when you get enough of your annual dose of holiday lights and spirit, why not visit the legendary Plitvice lakes in winter, unlike most tourists. The way winter plays with this wonder of nature is indeed something not many people have seen, so why not be in the lucky few?

So, is there a right (or best) time to visit Croatia? Of course not, you’re welcome to Croatia in every part of the year and every season. There is a reason why it is called “a small country for a big vacation”!

It starts in Dubrovnik, the legendary ancient city on the very South of Croatia. Filled with beautiful old streets and monuments, it takes you away from any reality and into some fantasy, just like Game of Thrones where it was filmed. From there the next stop comes in the shape of Trogir. The less-known brother of Split, Trogir has been entirely under the protection of UNESCO for 20 years as a city-monument itself. Among many things to see there, the St. Lawrence cathedral is absolutely on of the most beautiful sights to lay your eyes on.

From Hvar to the amazing location Krka National Park, the place of mental and visual relaxation with also many possible activities to do. There are few places in Europe that give you that wonderful feeling and remind you of the beautiful works of nature. And the city that is closest to Krka and also our next stop is the old town of Middle Dalmatia- Šibenik! What were centuries ago a fortress, now is a lovely city with many old narrow streets, amazingly beautiful and diverse churches with St. James Cathedral as the most beautiful of all, also under the protection of UNESCO.
Moving up, only a short ride from Šibenik, the next stop is Zadar, one of the most visited cities of Dalmatia. No wonder, Zadar has many historical sights to see and experience but also a variety of cutest coffee bars, excellent restaurants “konoba” and some contemporary art sights that had become popular around the world, such as the Sea Organ and Salutation to the Sun.
The tours end on its last but not the least spot- Zagreb! An amazing capital with all segments of a true capital city with a charm of smaller towns you’d love to get lost in.

All the tourists that seek gorgeous sights and excellent food, wine, walk by the sea and similar activities, definitely should visit this (yet!) not so known coastal jewel, just to remember how beautiful life can be!
Trogir is also a town, so magical that it’s entirely under UNESCO heritage protection. No wonder, with a lot of  historical buildings, mostly of romanesque-gothic style which also played their roles in shows like Game of Thrones which made it even more popular among tourists from around the world.
And speaking of Game of Thrones, on the most south point of Dalmatia is where the star of all most visited (and Instagrammed!) locations are. No need to guess more than once, we’re talking about Dubrovnik, of course. There are no words to describe even more this unrealistically beautiful city which carries tons of history inside its walls.
