Do you dare to visit here? It turns out this is the legendary Eye of the Earth
There is a natural wonder in Croatia, which is the "Eye of the Earth"! It is located at the source of the Cetina River, only about 7 kilometers from the small town of Cetina. The lake here is a karst reservoir. The water is crystal clear and sparkles with an intoxicating turquoise color. It looks like a huge dragon's eye from a bird's eye view, which makes people fascinated. This scenery has been included in the Croatian national natural heritage list since 1971 and enjoys special protection. If you want to see the "Eye of the Earth", come and explore it!
If you insist on seeing the Eye of the Earth, it is indeed recommended to bring a drone, otherwise it will be difficult to fully appreciate its beauty from the ground.
It is recommended to pass through the Eye of the Earth on the way from Split to Plitvice Lakes National Park. There are many wrong popular addresses and GPS locations on the Internet, and I also encountered this problem when making guides. In fact, just search "Izvor Cetine Veliko Vrilo (Glavas) -Oko Dalmacije" in Google Maps and drive there. For specific routes, please refer to the map navigation.
The recommended itinerary is: start from Split, go to the Eye of the Earth, then continue to Plitvice Lakes National Park, arrange accommodation in the park, visit the Plitvice Lakes on the next day, and then return to Split or Zagreb.
If you stop by to see the Eye of the Earth on the way from Split to Plitvice Lakes, the detour is not too long, less than half an hour one way, but the road is relatively narrow.
This attraction is not very well-known and there were almost no people when we went there. There is a warning at the lake! Swimming is not allowed and there are no patrols.
It is worth noting that the color of the lake water will be very different when there is sunlight and when there is no sunlight.

Croatia is a country located at the intersection of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans. It looks like a crescent moon on the map. Croatia has a long coastline, the longest among the Balkan countries, with beautiful scenery along the way; it has over 1185 islands, earning it the nickname 'Country of a Thousand Islands'. The most famous is Plitvice Lakes, where 16 natural lakes are connected, with a large amount of calcium carbonate limestone deposits in the lakes, presenting green, gray, blue, etc., forming an ultimate natural landscape.
☘️
Speaking of Croatia, one must first mention Dubrovnik, also known as 'King's Landing' in the famous 'Game of Thrones'. Even if you're not a fan of the show, it's more customary to call it King's Landing, as it seems to show the grandeur of this ancient city.
【Dubrovnik, Croatia Travel Guide】
Are you attracted by the ancient city with red roofs, the blue sea and the beauty of the islands? Then, Dubrovnik in Croatia is definitely one of the travel destinations you can't miss in your life!
✨Walk on the city wall: Climb the ancient city wall, go around the old city, feel the magnificent scenery, you will be shocked! At sunset, the scenery is even more incomparable.
✨Take a cable car to the top of Srd Mountain to watch the sunset: You can go to the top of the mountain from the cable car station outside the north gate of the ancient city, you will see a 360° panoramic view of Dubrovnik, with beautiful scenery in your eyes. Then have a sunset dinner at the highest restaurant in Dubrovnik, it's so romantic!
✨Wandering in the ancient city: Truly feel the history and culture of Dubrovnik, walk into those narrow alleys, climb those steps with a sense of history, visit various relics, it will definitely leave a deep impression on you.
✨Sea activities: Experience water activities such as kayaking, enjoy the fun and challenge of the sea.
✨Special experience: Find the shooting spots of Game of Thrones, explore the scenes in the drama, it's also a lot of fun!
✨Accommodation suggestions: Because the roads in the old city are mostly bluestone roads, they are not accessible by car, and there are hundreds of steps to enter and exit the city, so it is not recommended to live in the old city. It is recommended to stay in a hillside homestay facing the sea outside the old city, with direct access to the highway, and overlooking Dubrovnik.
✨Itinerary planning: It is recommended to plan a 3-day itinerary, D1 visit Banje Beach and the fortress, then take a cable car to the mountain for a sunset dinner; D2 visit the old city and the city wall; D3 experience sea activities such as kayaking.
✨Best season: The climate is pleasant in May-June and September-October, and there are relatively few people. July-August is hot and crowded with high prices, but the sea water temperature is good. It's cold and rainy from November to April.
I hope this guide can help you! Get ready to start your dream trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia!💖✈️🌊
Detailed Guide to Croatia (Part 1), Play it this way to save money
✈ Self-driving tour around Croatia during the National Day, 11 days of itinerary, basically covered all the classic scenes. Sharing some dry goods (detailed content, divided into several issues).
👑Zagreb (Pictures 5-7)
This time we took a circular route, landed in Zagreb by LOT Polish Airlines, and spent half a day visiting Stone Gate, market, two churches (not open for renovation) the next day.
🔺The most recommended attraction is Lotrščak Tower, where you can overlook the whole Zagreb. On one side of the tower is the shortest cable car in the world.
🔺Go to St. Mark's Church early in the morning, it's hard to take pictures when there are too many people later. It is recommended to book accommodation near Jelačić Square, where you can walk to all attractions. I booked Apartman Rudi, over 400 per night.
🔺It's cheap to take Uber in Zagreb.
👑Dubrovnik (Pictures 1-4, 12-14)
Flew to Dubrovnik in the afternoon of the second day, also considered self-driving, not to mention tired, because we planned to stay in Dubrovnik for 3 nights, and the attractions in the city can be reached on foot. Save 3 days of car rental fee, the domestic ticket is only over 300.
🔺The most photogenic place here is the old town. If you love photography, it is recommended to book a hotel on the hill opposite the old town. I booked Apartments Villa Kosovic - ground floor, the view is excellent, you can overlook the sunrise and sunset of the old town from the balcony. The price is 400 per night, which is very cheap.
🔺As for taking pictures, the main street of the old town is crowded with tourists, but the small alleys on both sides are less crowded and good for shooting. In addition, it is necessary to go up the city wall at sunset, at least reserve 3 hours, otherwise they will rush people when they close.
🔺Another sunset viewing spot in Dubrovnik is on the mountain. Many people will take the cable car to the top of the mountain. But if you want to frame the old town and the sunset, you need a more southern perspective. I found a "wild view" (location in picture 13) through Google Maps, the view is better, and it only costs 15 euros to take a taxi up.
👑Korčula (Pictures 8-11)
Three days in Dubrovnik, rent a car on the fourth day to Korčula.
🔺The car rental company chose SIXT, the pick-up and return process was very smooth. Please note that if you are going to several Balkan countries (such as Mostar), you need to pay a 50 euro exit fee.
🔺Drive to Orebi on Korčula Island, take a 15-minute ferry, 15 euros for both people and cars is very cheap.
🔺This small island is like a shield, beautiful when viewed from the air. It used to belong to Venice, so the architectural style also fully reflects the Italian style. There are day-trip tourists on the island, and it is comfortable to stroll in the morning and evening.
🔺Korčula has a real jelly sea, just under the city wall of the old town, where you can swim. The hotels on the island are also very cheap. I booked a four-star hotel (Marko Polo Hotel by Aminess) with a buffet dinner, over 700.
👑Split (Pictures 15-16)
🔺Drive from Korčula to Split in 2 hours, where there is the World Heritage Site Diocletian's Palace. It is recommended to play early in the morning and late at night. When the lights are on at night, the ruins are like the Palatine in Rome. The second day, climb the bell tower, visit the cathedral, feel mediocre, not cheap, not very worthwhile.
🔺Overall, there are many tourists in Split, the whole city is relatively noisy, if it is not for island hopping, one night is enough.

Goodbye Croatia 🇭🇷 | Unforgettable deep blue sea and wind
(empty)
📍Croatia is located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, with a long history and cultural heritage, unique architectural heritage, which is fascinating. ➕In addition, Croatia's football industry has also contributed to its tourism. But what really leaves a lasting memory is its charming natural scenery.
🎐The Eye of the Earth is located outside the town of Svetina, Croatia🏘, at the foot of the Dinara Mountains.
📷From the perspective of the photographer, the blue-green water waves 🌊 ripple from top to bottom, but they are clear and transparent, and the depth of several hundred meters below can be seen. It's like an eye embedded in the ground.
🧊The beautiful blue-green source of the Setina River is a karst spring, adding a touch of mystery to the atmosphere while also being icy cold.
🎐Zadar, Croatia's geographical location is along the Adriatic Sea🚤, so there are countless small port cities. Zadar has a beautiful environment, but it is little known. Its history is difficult to summarize simply, and it has survived vibrantly through negotiations of war and peace🌅 Due to its long history, the entire old city area is a very complete monument, but the traces of history have not made it too heavy. The beating of the waves, the lively conversations of residents and travelers, make it full of vitality here✨
🎐Dubrovnik is located on the pleasant climate Dalmatian coast and is a medieval city with a long history. Because of its long history,
🕍The buildings inside the city are well-preserved, and some streets in the old town have even been included in the "World Heritage List".
The best viewing spot is at the top of Srd Mountain, where you can almost see the entire "King's Landing" 🌇.
When the sunset glow falls on this mountaintop, looking down is the historical style of Dubrovnik's urban area, looking far away is the blue sea of the Adriatic Sea 🌊, as if the sea breeze here also has form and color.

Croatia the base root to Europe landscape.
If your Mediterranean fantasies feature balmy days by sapphire waters in the shade of ancient walled towns, Croatia is the place to turn them into reality. The sixth largest Croatian island, Korcula is separated from the mainland by a narrow strait. The island’s capital is also called Korcula. Nicknamed”Little Dubrovnik”, this ancient city is among the most beautiful towns on the Croatian coast and is known for its unique architecture. One of the main attractions is the alleged house of birth of Marco Polo. The biggest and the most beautiful building of Korcula is the Cathedral of St. Marco, built in Gothic-Renaissance style and completed in the 15th century.

For centuries, it has been a center of science and culture, and today it is also a center of commerce and industry.

Croatia's beauty.
Croatia is one of the most developed countries in the Western Balkans, with a strong economic foundation. It is a gateway to Central and Southeast Europe, with well-developed port facilities, a dense road network, fast land transportation, convenient rail and water transportation, and good public security. The tourism, construction, shipbuilding, and pharmaceutical industries are highly developed.

Croatia
#100waysoftravel #croatia #europe
The present-day republic is composed of the historically Croatian regions of Croatia-Slavonia (located in the upper arm of the country), Istria (centred on the Istrian Peninsula on the northern Adriatic coast), and Dalmatia (corresponding to the coastal strip). Although these regions were ruled for centuries by various foreign powers, they remained firmly Western-oriented in culture, acquiring a legacy of Roman law, the Latin alphabet, and western European political and economic traditions and institutions. A part of Yugoslavia for much of the 20th century, Croatia suffered considerably from the disintegration of that federation in the early 1990s. The European trajectory of Croatia was finally realized in 2013 when it joined the European Union; in 2023 Croatia adopted the euro as its currency.

Best weather in Europe
#hiddengems
While Croatia may not be part of everyone's European holiday. I sure was glad to have made it a part of mine. The weather in known to be brilliant with Croatia receiving lots of sunshine. Back when I visited it was starting to get popular with backpackers and getting featured in a popular television show.
Anyone considering it must ensure a minimum of two weeks. With picturesque seafront towns and quaint islands, there are many reasons to visit Croatia as it is truly a unique place to spend summer. Croatia might be a small country, but there are so many places to visit along the Croatian coastline from Pula in the north, Zadar in the center, and Dubrovnik in the south.
Places like Dubrovnik or Split get quite crowded in the summer, but you can still find hidden gems like Šibenik, Trogir, or the Istrian peninsula. While you could pick one destination to visit, I would even recommend going on a road trip along the Croatian coastline and visiting several towns.#hiddengems #beachlife #offbeat #croatia
