So let me tell you about our recent trip to Croatia.
I guess we all think of Kings Landing at first? Or maybe if you’re not a Thronie
you might think of old Croatia as part of Yugoslavia?
Well let me tell you that whatever your first thoughts are on Croatia, just go with an open mind because this country is incredible! And we only see a snippet of what’s to offer.
Crystal clear blue waters of the Adriatic Sea, beautiful greenery, friendly locals, ancient fortresses, rocky seaside hang outs, endless sunsets and great food, oh the food! Yum.
We really fell in love with this bit of paradise just 2.5 hours in flight from London. I kept asking my husband “why haven’t we come here before?”
We started in Dubrovnik, famous for being the filming spot of Kings Landing in Game of Thrones from season 2 (yes we are Thronies!) but there was so much more to this gorgeous town.
Oozing with culture, ancient buildings, the prettiest little streets I’ve ever scene, we hit the jackpot starting off our adventure here.
We stayed on the Port side of the town which was beautiful to see in itself. I’d recommend this if you’d like a piece of quiet away from the Pile Gate area which is deep in the centre.

The city is full of great eateries, shops and amazing Gelato – which I had every day whilst on holiday oops!
Inside the City walls lies the most beautiful, hilly city. You must spend as much time exploring every street as each has do many surprises.
Apart from that you will spot so many GOT tours going on, I wanted something special and authentic and I found it in our guide Ivana from got2du tours http://got2du.com/ not only has she lived in Dubrovnik most of her life, she was actually a peasant in GOT and a total Thronie so we had an absolute expert on the history of this great city too!
Hvar
Havr had to be my favourite of the 3 locations.
Its absolutely stunning!
The gorgeous island is full of charm, beautiful beaches, beach clubs, restaurants, boutiques and has a fun atmosphere which never gets old.
There’s lots of chic yachts that I wish I could afford (universe do your thing!) and ample amounts of cool restaurants and bars to hang out in.
Definitely a place of good looking wealthy individuals but also a mixture of young and old.
We were there around the time of Ultra music festival so there was an increase of parties which we don’t mind of course!
I absolutely adored the scenery, our hotel looked out on palm trees and the beautiful sea, like heaven really…
Our days were full of sunbathing on rocky pavillians overlooking the sea, where you could jump straight into its crystal waters.
We took an adventure across the island visiting Stardi Grand,
Which was so beautiful.
We discovered stunning Coves that were pretty untouched and full of unbelievable beauty.
Ate gelato in every possible flavour, and walked for hours down the pretty streets that were covered in borganvillia and limestone.
I didn’t want to leave this magical place and our last day was so magical.

We hired out our very own boat with the best driver and local expert Petar. We travelled by sea to two caves which were incredible natural beauties. We got to see so many secret spots, local hideouts and scenic beauty of the islands. https://www.visit-hvar.com/

Split
Our Croatian Adventure ends in Split.
A busy city full of tourism but not lacking in Croatian charm and culture.
We took the ferry boat from Hvar which took just over an hour, very smooth sailing!
I’d recommend pre booking all of your ferry tickets in advance as it gets pretty busy and you’ll need to make sure you get the appropriate time slot if you’re on a tight schedule!

There’s plenty to see, historical buildings, shops, restaurants and the harbour.

Flying home to the UK is very easy from Split, we found plenty of daily flights to and from London.
The food is great which was the case all over Croatia.
Hubby had a particularly fantastic meal on the last night which was a local dish skampi na buzaru at a great restaurant: https://konoba-korta.business.site/?bw=true. You must try it!
I enjoyed so much truffle over the holiday, I could not get enough!
What a great adventure we had in Croatia, and there’s no doubt we’ll be back again to see more of what this incredible country has to offer.
