Croatia Expert

In the streets of Split
In the streets of Split

As an avid traveler, I have always been fascinated by this country's stunning scenery, rich cultural heritage, and welcoming people. And so, with great excitement, I want to the beauty and charm of this Balkan gem.


My adventure began in the capital city of Zagreb, where I arrived in the early morning. As soon as I stepped off the plane, I was struck by the pleasant warmth of the sun, and the fresh scent of the sea breeze that swept over the city. I quickly made my way to my hotel Esplanade, which was located in the heart of the historic city center.


As you walk through the city you will visit the magnificent Cathedral of Zagreb, a towering structure with a magnificent facade and a long history. I marveled at the intricate details of the cathedral's architecture and the grandeur of its interior, and I felt a sense of awe and reverence wash over me.


The medieval Stone Gate, the colorful Dolac market, and the bustling Ban Jelacic Square. Stop at a few local cafes and restaurants, where you can sample some delicious Croatian delicacies.


Rent a car and drove down to Plitvice Lakes National Park, which was one of the most stunning natural wonders I had ever seen. The park was a network of cascading waterfalls, crystal clear lakes, and verdant forests, which all blended together to create a breathtaking landscape.


The seaside city of Zadar, which was famous for its beautiful beaches, stunning sunsets, and rich cultural heritage. A drive along the coastal highway, will give you some of the most spectacular views you will ever seen, with the turquoise waters of the Adriatic stretching out as far as the eye could see. Spend your days lounging on the beach, soaking up the sun, and swimming in the clear blue waters of the sea. Visit some of the city's historic landmarks, such as the ancient Roman Forum, the imposing St. Donatus Church, and the impressive Sea Organ, a unique musical instrument that was powered by the waves of the sea.


From Zadar, I continued my journey south, passing by many other beautiful seaside towns and villages, such as Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. Each of these places had its own unique charm and character, and I enjoyed exploring their narrow streets, colorful markets, and ancient ruins.


In Dubrovnik, I spent several days soaking up the sun on the beaches, enjoying the local cuisine, and exploring the city's many historical sites. One of the highlights of my stay was walking along the city walls, which offered stunning views of the sea and the surrounding countryside.


Croatia has so many ways to travel, by private boat charter, small cruise ship, self drive, private guided, group travel.  Whatever you preference I can create the most amazing way to explore Croatia.
