Croatia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jul)

After flying ten thousand kilometers, I finally met with karaka in Croatia

KARAKA is a retro merchant ship built in imitation of the 16th-century ship design Sailing from Dubrovnik to the Elaphiti Islands Rippling in the azure waters Rolling hills Pastoral fields of fertile plains As we approach the dock It echoes with the ancient city of Dubrovnik Everything is so beautiful it doesn't seem real The nearly one-hour Karaka Boat Tour Is a brand new way to explore Croatia on my second visit This century-old retro vessel on the sea Is an echo from the Adriatic Sea dating back to the 7th century

The sea and sky merge into one, with the mysterious ocean swaying a dreamy landscape

Europe's No1 most beautiful beach, it is the sanctuary in my dreams. Brela beach is the most comfortable beach I have seen over the years, truly second to none. Sitting on the beach chair watching the sunset, I probably will never forget it in my lifetime. Indescribably wonderful. Croatia is really a place I can't stop thinking about. I always say that I must take this opportunity to live here for a while in the future. A completely tourist-free, quiet place. Forbes magazine once rated Brela beach as the No6 beach in the world and the No1 beach in Europe, it is really very beautiful. Brela beach stretches for 6 kilometers, with very little surf, and is a beautiful sea in Croatia and even Europe. Each bay is like a paradise, and century-old pine trees are distributed along the coastline and the edge of the beach, presenting different visual aesthetics and art, and I am still amazed when I think about it now! {Geographical Location Overview} In the Central Dalmatia region of Croatia, Route 8 is the essence of the Croatian coast, with charming white beaches, various hidden small bays with red-tiled fishing villages, and steep cliff sections along the way. Reaching the high ground, you can overlook the islands scattered in the Adriatic Sea, a world-famous coastal road. Among them, the super beautiful beach is the Brela area at the foot of the mountain, with clear and distinct water quality. The special feature is the rows of strong pines on the winding bayside, growing towards the sea with a powerful posture, layers of green shade, red-tiled villas built along the slope, and steep mountains in the distance, simply a heavenly landscape. Transportation Bus: Take a bus from Split, along Route 8 for 1 hour, and you can reach the Brela coast, tell the driver the destination in advance Self-driving: Just navigate, be sure to choose a hotel or B&B that can park, as the beaches are steep and not easy to park Accommodation 1 Paulina It is a villa hotel apartment, the pool faces the sea which is super beautiful, and it is very convenient to go down to the beach 2 Bluesun hotel Berulia A larger hotel, also by the beach, parking is also very good, there are more trees in front of the hotel blocking the sea, but the hotel is still very good [Croatia Itinerary Travel Route Arrangement 1: Dubrovnik (Old Town + City Walls) 2: Dub City (Mountain Top tbanje Coastline) 3: Dub City - Split (Old Town) 4: Split Sea Day Trip (Blue Cave Money Edition) 5: Split - Eye of the Earth - Brela Beach 6: Brela Beach 7: Brela Beach - Rovinj 8: Rovinj (Cake City) 9: Departure from Rovinj

Plitvice Lakes National Park

The Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and the largest national park in the Republic of Croatia. The exceptional natural beauty of this area has always attracted nature lovers. Plitvice Lakes are reachable on a day trip from Zagreb, Zadar and Split. However, we recommend spending at least one night in the area to allow you to experience everything the park has to offer. With this in mind, plan at least 2 days for visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park. Although visitors aren't allowed to swim in the lakes directly, just few kilometers north of the National Park, swimming is possible! If possible, spend at least one full day at the lakes to make the most of your day trip to Plitvice. Of course, it's also a good option if you can spend the night over, but visiting Plitvice in one day is doable The best months to visit Plitvice are June and September. Tickets can be purchased in advance at least 2 days prior to arrival. You can also buy your entry tickets at the Park, but with the risk that they will not be available because the number of tickets per hour is limited because of possible overcrowding. Lightweight clothing like T-shirts and shorts are a must as well as hats, sunglasses, and sunblock. Amazing day! #croatia #nature #adventure

The beauty of Junlin City needs to be seen from a height.

Hvar day trip

Getting There - ferry: from Split to Hvar Attractions - Fortica Fortress (Tvrđava Fortica) Food & Restaurants - kava37 | Specialty Coffee Shop Hvar I stayed in Spilt and took a day trip to Hvar. Some of the tourists would go island hopping to several islands near Split and Dubrovnik. You can get the ferry ticket at the harbour. The return ticket is 240 KN (one way is 120 KN). The coffee shop is truly amazing that I recommend anyone who loves specialty coffee should’ve try it!

Hvar - Off the Beaten Path

Hvar is a well know Croatian Island right off the coast of Split. It has been inhabited for thousands of years, with its old city ‘Stari Grad’ celebrating its 2400 birthday as a town. 🏔Maybe people will flock to the party town of Hvar and sit at the hotels in front of a pool, but if you take the extra effort you could find some magical views. The little abandoned village of Malo Grablje sits on top of the Hvar mountain and has some gorgeous views of the north and south side of the island. I would recommend getting electric bikes if you are a beginner and cycle to the top. 🌿 Hvar is also known as the lavender island with fields planted on the mountains of Hvar. The resemble Thai mountain fields but with lava Dee. some of them are deserted and have turned into forest which makes it even for enchanting. All in all, you can’t go wrong with a bike ride around the island and especially on the mountain tops. Highly recommend for any nature lovers. 😁😁 #urbanexplorer #nature #camping#hiking#seafoodfeast#naturalwonders#nationalpark
