Afar just published an article (link below) entitled, “UNESCO Just Announced 21 new World Heritage Sites” – the photos from our visit to Plitvice Lakes National Park give you a glimpse of the waterfalls connecting 16 beautiful lakes, the country’s biggest attraction outside of the Adriatic Coast.
On our last full-day exploring this beautiful country on the Adriatic Sea, our driver,
Siniša Juzbašić picked us up at 8:00 a.m. for the journey to Plitvice Lakes National Park. On the way, Sinisa shared details about the drive, the park of waterfalls connecting 16 beautiful lakes and the gorgeous vegetation that we were about to discover.
Solta is an exquisite island, heaven on earth, while only being a 40 minute ferry ride from old town Split, Croatia. The one regret I have on day five of our trip is that we didn’t spend the entire day on this peaceful island. It is a destination that I will return to for a three day stay – at least!
Croatia has two climates: Mediterranean and Continental. Needless to say visiting Split, Croatia in the prime of the summer is an invitation to enjoy the Adriatic sea.
Ston, just 33 miles northwest of Dubrovnik, has been an important salt-producing town since the Republic of Dubrovnik. The salt pans were essential to Dubrovnik’s wealth and they are still operating today.
A massive wall was built in the hills around the salt pans; when you visit the town, carve out time to walk a portion of the wall. Views will be magnificent.
A country’s cuisine, their food and their land give insight into their history, geography and culture. Food is integral to the culture of a people. That said, we started our day with a shopping trip to the local market in Old Town, Split. Along the Adriatic, fresh seafood is abundant and grilling is a favorite way to prepare the gifts from the sea.
