Croatian Vacation: Part Two.

“To travel is to take a journey into yourself.” – Danny Kaye

Our Croatian vacation has to be one of our most relaxing trips to date. Though we did walk a lot and drove from city to city, we had ample time to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the views. Mojitos were popular to drink while sitting at a street-side bar people watching. In terms of accommodations, we opted to stay at Air B&Bs, as there are few hotels with the location, style, and price range we wanted. All of our hosts were very friendly and easy to contact. As mentioned in my previous post, the food on our trip was great! From fresh seafood, to Bosnian, to cevapcici, we felt very satisfied with our meals. We were also fortunate with the weather because as we were leaving, Europe was entering a heat wave! I would totally recommend Croatia to anyone who is looking for a European destination that is laid back as it is beautiful and lively.

Lake Plitvice

According to pretty much every travel post online, Plitvice Lakes is not to be missed, and they were right. I don’t think I’ve seen so many waterfalls in my life! Everywhere we looked, nature was at its best.

Pula

On our way to Rovinj we stopped for a few hours in Pula. The main attraction here was the incredibly well preserved Roman amphitheatre.

Rovinj

I think this was my favourite city to travelled to in Croatia. It was super small with cute houses and stunning views of the Adriatic. It was so enjoyable just getting lost through the streets for a day.

It’s fun getting lost!

Romantic and adorable

Nothing beats viewing the sunset over the Adriatic

Zagreb

We ended our vacation in Zagreb, the country’s capital. The full day we had here was the hottest, but we still enjoyed our time checking out art, churches, and architecture.
