This weekend was the last of our time in Croatia. We were expecting a lot of rain last week, but that mostly didn’t materialize, so we enjoyed one last Dalmatian coastal hike. This is the Setnica Walking Trail: a relatively short hike in Lapad that began about five minutes from[…]
There are over 1000 islands and islets in Croatia. During our relatively short visit to the country, we got to visit just one. Lokrum Island! Lokrum Island is a 15 minute ferry ride from Dubrovnik. It’s a car-free island, with well-marked pathing that will take you around its 76 hectares[…]
Boy did we get lucky with the weather this week. After a sunny weekend in Old Town filled with all kinds of outdoorsy goodness, we moved on to Lapad – a residential peninsula outside of Dubrovnik – for a more laidback time. Right on cue, the weather did this: Pros[…]
I’ve decided that Dubrovnik requires a whole post just for its sunsets. Because, look at these sunsets. We’ve had two great sunset viewing opportunities during our time in Dubrovnik.

One of the cool things to do in Dubrovnik Old Town is walking along the top of the fortress walls. The Dubrovnik city walls, constructed in the 13th century, are 2km long and take around 90 minutes to walk around. Or longer, if you stop every few meters to take[…]
Although kayaking is popular in Dubrovnik, we thought we might have missed the season for it with our late October visit. That is, until we spotted these through a fortress window. Heeeeyyyy! It turns out that this was the very last weekend for kayak rentals before the office closed up[…]
We spent the weekend in beautiful Dubrovnik Old Town. In addition to being a UNESCO world heritage site and a total tourist magnet, Dubrovnik is also a proper city, complete with museums, art galleries, musical performances, and absolutely incredible food. All of this was a welcome contrast after our last[…]
Plitvice (pronounced PLEETveetsah) is Croatia’s oldest national park, and a UNESCO world heritage site. Although it was a bit out of the way from the rest of my trip, I couldn’t come all the way to this part of the world and not see it. There are tour buses that will take[…]
Rovinj is a beautiful Croatian town on the Adriatic Sea. In the summer, Rovinj is very much a tourist destination, especially the old quarter with its signature cobblestone walkways. Late September is an ideal time to visit in my opinion. Perfect weather and a fraction of the crowds. If you[…]
