Pula is a nice, inviting small town in Istria with beautiful surroundings. Starting in the north means that you\u2019ll be able to see almost all the country. Oh, and Ryanair flies there\u2026which means a cheaper fly in flight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pula\u2019s main attraction is the Roman arena which is the 6th Largest Roman Coliseum in the World. It had a capacity of 25\u00a0000 people. It kind of symbolizes the huge influence of Italy in Istria.<\/p>\n<p>Incredibly this arena is still used today!

The only place we have been yet that doesn\u2019t have vowels \ud83d\ude42 The bridge connecting to the island is an engineering accomplishment \u2013 it was the largest in the world at the time of construction and is still the second largest.

Although having some interesting buildings, parks, and gardens it lacks on \u2026 something. Zagreb\u2019s architecture, style, and environment make me remember of Budapest and Vienna but it doesn\u2019t have the same glamour. Don\u2019t get us wrong, we liked Zagreb and if you have a free day you should visit it, but if you are short on time, don\u2019t miss other Croatian attractions to go to Zagreb. And this far more relevant in summer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Zagreb, we were introduced to our favorite Croatian treat, the Burek which is a pastry made of spiral layers of phyllo and stuffed with spinach and cheese, or meat. It\u2019s such a tasty snack\u2026 We ate those things the whole trip. After Zagreb, we headed to Plitvice.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"Best activities of Croatia\" width=\"910\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1-520x297.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1-300x172.jpg\" alt=\"Best activities of Croatia\" width=\"910\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1-520x297.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-13-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plitvice_Lakes_National_park\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Plitvice_Lakes_National_park\"><\/span><strong>#3 Plitvice Lakes National park<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Travel bloggers tend to exaggerate and call everything the best or the most beautiful in the world.

I can\u2019t imagine anything more fascinating than the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/breathewithus.com\/plitvice-lakes-national-park\/\">Plitvice Lakes<\/a> and waterfalls. It is by far the most alluring, stunning and dazzling waterfalls we have been to.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s not one perfect waterfall and lake, or ten\u2026 there are literally hundreds of waterfalls, cascades, and cataracts. All of them perfectly drawn and full of color. Prepare yourself to walk, and walk, and walk\u2026 \u00a0but you will be distracted and probably overwhelmed by what you are seeing, always with water everywhere you look, and always with waterfalls.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The wooden boardwalks go for a few km, in the shore, through the lakes, really close to the falls. In the biggest lake, you will have a small ferry to take you to the other end of the lake. At the end of the park, fortunately, you can take a bus back to the start, so don\u2019t worry about returning. You should definitely reserve a full day for Plitvice Lakes waterfalls.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"What to do in Croatia\" width=\"863\" height=\"647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"What to do in Croatia\" width=\"863\" height=\"647\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-14-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Zadar\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Zadar\"><\/span><strong>#4 Zadar<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The historic old town of Zadar is quite small but absolutely lovely. Therefore we suggest you leave the car outside the old town and then either lose yourself wandering in it or\/and renting a bike for a few hours and have some fun riding through the small streets and then into Zadar\u2019s waterfront. We did it both and it was very relaxing to wander about, have a drink and an Ice cream in the Roman and medieval ruins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zadar has a very good vibe that is difficult to explain, I believe it\u2019s the mixture of many small things, the sea always very close, the touristy atmosphere but not too much, the colors and smells, the sunset, the historical buildings\u2026 Although having a Roman forum, the 5 bells square, the bell tower, St. Anastasia cathedral, the city walls and so on, our favorite attractions were the sea organ and greetings to the sun. The sea organ is a musical instrument that plays according to the waves. It\u2019s located on the end of the waterfront and hidden in the marble stairs that go into the Adriatic sea. If you aren\u2019t aware of its existence you will be surprised by the relatively random but somehow harmonic sounds coming from the ground. Greetings to the sun are right next to the organ and is a 22-meter circle array of solar panels embedded in the sidewalk. By day it absorbs solar energy, by night it comes to live in a \u00a0psychedelic but somehow soothing light show. Zadar is our kind of city!<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"Best places of Croatia\" width=\"909\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-520x332.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-300x191.jpg\" alt=\"Best places of Croatia\" width=\"909\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-768x490.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26-520x332.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-26.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 909px) 100vw, 909px\"><\/p>\n<h4><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-300x101.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do in Croatia\" width=\"858\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-768x259.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-520x175.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6617\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-300x101.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do in Croatia\" width=\"858\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-300x101.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-768x259.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1-520x175.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-18-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 858px) 100vw, 858px\"><\/h4>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Krka_Split\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Krka_Split\"><\/span><strong>#5 Krka &amp; Split<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>After what we saw earlier we were very anxious to get to Krka\u2026 We knew that Krka has one huge advantage over Plitvice, you can bath in the lakes!! We are one of those people: we see turquoise water, we want to go in\u2026 and these have inviting waterfalls to top it off. Krka is wonderful and on another trip, it would be the #1 attraction, but this is Croatia. In Croatia you have Plitvice and the Krka\u2019s cataracts aren\u2019t as eye candy, neither the water is as pristine or colorful. It\u2019s just a huge shoe to fill.<\/p>\n<p>To enter the park, usually, you have to take a boat up the river. Unfortunately (or not) we didn\u2019t arrive on time for the boat, so we had to rent a bike to go by ourselves. If you like biking consider this option, as it was extremely fun to ride the bicycles to the park. It\u2019s not too far so you won\u2019t need to be in top shape to get there, but if you want to walk you will lose valuable time before getting to the most interesting part of the park. After Krka, we headed to Split where we would get the ferry to Brac.<\/p>\n<p>We have just spent a few hours in Split, near the harbor, where we visited the Diocletian Palace. Although being considered one of imposing roman complex we didn\u2019t have time to properly explore it, as it\u2019s huge and doesn\u2019t look like a palace but a whole historic city center. It\u2019s a shame we didn\u2019t have time to properly explore Split, it\u2019s a UNESCO heritage site and a little underrated.

There are so many ferries to the islands that will enable you to go from the mainland to islands and even between islands and taking your car with you.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We went to Brac because we wanted to go to Bol and see the most photographed beach in Croatia, Zlatni Rat, which means golden horn in English. Bol is a small touristy village where I assume not much happens outside summer. Even in June, there were very few people on the boardwalk and on the beach. It was a hot day and having the stunning Zlatni Rat (and the other beaches) almost to ourselves made it even more pleasant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The only downside of Bol (and for what it matters almost every other Croatian Beach) is the lack of sand. From the outside, it looks like white paradisiac sand, but once you get closer and step on it you understand that it\u2019s small rocks\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For us, it\u2019s a bummer, but there are people who actually prefer having rocks instead of sand\u2026 Who are we to judge? \ud83d\ude42 Funny thing about the golden horn, it actually changes in size and shape, according to the currents. However, Zlatni Rat is only one of the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.placesofjuma.com\/best-beaches-brac-croatia\">best beaches is Brac<\/a>. Probably the best, but there are a few other that you really should have a look, some of them also in Bol.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Most beautiful sites in Croatia\" width=\"912\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-520x346.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Most beautiful sites in Croatia\" width=\"912\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1-520x346.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-3-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 912px) 100vw, 912px\"><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Alternatively, you can visit Korcula which is another incredible Croatian island on the Dalmatian coast.

Apparently, you can\u2019t go wrong in Dalmatia. Then, we headed to Dubrovnik through Bosnia. We decided to stop for a few minutes in Neum. These were a few weird moments, for some reason we didn\u2019t feel comfortable at all, everything looked less colorful, darker and uglier\u2026 everyone seemed to be staring\u00a0at us, confused by our presence. It was probably in our heads\u2026 but we all felt it and decided to continue our journey to Dubrovnik.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"Reasons to visit Croatia\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-520x308.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6606\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-300x178.jpg\" alt=\"Reasons to visit Croatia\" width=\"1024\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1-520x308.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/croatia-9-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dubrovnik is the pearl of the Adriatic, the most famous town in the region with its fantastic walls surrounding the old town. The walls of Dubrovnik are 2 km long, 4 to\u00a06 meters wide and up to 25 meters high\u2026 pretty impressive right? They were even used to inspire the Walls of King\u2019s Landing\u00a0in HBO\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Game<\/a> of Thrones. Actually, a few spots of <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/dianashealthyliving.com\/2019\/01\/28\/game-of-thrones-tour-dubrovnik\/\">Dubrovnik were used as inspiration for King\u2019s Landing<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can walk around it, visit the towers and see the old town from above.\u00a0If you add to it, the clear green\/blue water of the Adriatic sea, the orange\u00a0rooftops and the view of the historic building below,\u00a0you get a fantastic and colorful postcard.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The old town is traffic free, so it\u2019s a wonderland for wanders like us. The Stradun is the main\u00a0promenade of Dubrovnik, the heart of the old town. This is the best place,\u00a0in Croatia. to people watching,\u00a0while\u00a0having a drink or an ice cream, or just setting free\u00a0your consumer\u00a0spirit in the many shops along the way. Dubrovnik is also a great place to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.europesluxuryhotels.com\/croatia\/best-luxury-hotels-dubrovnik\/\">splurge on luxury hotels<\/a>. Dubrovnik is also full of bars and clubs so if this is your thing, you will definitely be at home. However, make sure you <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shortholidaysandgetaways.com\/11-best-dubrovnik-tours\/\">tour around Dubrovnik<\/a> to fully enjoy this UNESCO heritage town! The worst part? Parking in Dubrovnik near the old town is a nightmare and expensive.
