We’ve both sailed the high seas for more than few years, but we are still to experience sailing the Adriatic. I know, we are not proud of this, since Croatia is a paradise for sailing holidays. However, understanding the appeal of Croatia for sailing aficionados, we’ve teamed up with Ante of Charter Croatia to bring you some tips on sailing in Croatia.
Activities in Croatia
With rugged mountains, indented coast, thousand islands, breezy beaches, outdoor activities, and rich history, Croatia is a great holiday destination for all types of travelers.
In this section of our travel guide, we share all the best activities in Croatia, from the most popular things to do like walking Dubrovnik walls to offbeat places and adrenaline-pumping activities.
Whether you travel solo, as a couple, or as a family with children, here you will find activities for everybody’s style and budget.
Croatia’s karts mountains are ideal for rock climbing, hiking, trekking, or mountaineering. Water sports opportunities are plentiful along the Adriatic coast, while speedy rivers hide beautiful sites for white water rafting and kayaking. And if you would rather explore historic old towns, Croatia won’t let you down either. Ancient cities of Dubrovnik, Porec, Split, Trogir have a lot to offer for anybody interested in history and culture.

Croatia Sailing Week: Can’t Decide Where to Visit in Croatia? Sail!
This week we’re sharing with you a guest post from a fellow travel blogger Sammi who traveled to Croatia this summer and shared with us her Croatia Sailing Week experience. We’ve never done this sailing cruise ourselves, and thus we are happy to learn more about it from Sammi.
Hiking Dalmatia for the great views
Hiking Dalmatia will reward you with some of the best views you’ve ever seen. Dalmatian mountains are not extremely high, but they rise steeply from the sea, creating a dramatic scenery. The highest Dalmatian (and Croatian) mountain is Dinara, although its highest peak isn’t in Croatia but in Bosnia.
What to do in Croatia in spring
We’re celebrating the start of spring with this week’s Sunday Traveler. This is my favorite season. Spring usually arrives suddenly. I don’t know if you feel this way. One sunny day, after many grey winter days in Croatia, we wake up just to realize that the days are longer, that the trees are blooming, and the birds are back.
Dinosaur Park Funtana
Dinosaur park Funtana is located in a village Funtana, half-way between Porec and Vrsar. The park is open since 2009. Any time my niece and nephew come to visit us in Porec, we need to go to the Dinosaur Park Funtana. If we listen to them, we would go there everyday. They really enjoy it that much!
Top things to do in Croatia
Croatia is a wonderful country famous for its pebble beaches, crystal clear Adriatic sea, more than a thousand islands, mountainous coastline (creating lots of opportunity for stunning views), sublime food, and great wines. We also love it for its friendly people, small sleepy villages, safety, and cleanliness (this country is extremely clean; you can literally eat from the floor wherever you go).
