Croatia 2020

Our amazing Airbnb in the city walls. It had a huge pan, open window that lead essentially the flat roof. The view from this place was phenomenal too. Our host had every kind of succulent out of the roof. This was a prime spot since it was so close to everything. We slept with the doors/pan window open every night and listened to the live music being played at the Luxor Restaurant, every night from our Balcony

We rented a car from Sixt for the next day, to get to Plitvice. We grabbed a coffee here, while we waited for the Sixt guy to finally arrive. The Sixt location was kind of difficult to find. It’s on the second floor of a large business complex. Also, one of our tires kept going low. Luckily, we had an air compressor in the trunk so we could fill it up regularly. Looking back, it would have been easier to rent a car from the airport, instead of paying for a cab from the airport and then we another cab to the sixt rental place. It would have saved us a lot of hassle, time and money

Grabbed some ice cream and went back to our apartment to listen to the music in the square beneath us and finish our wine from Bokerria.

Small little town that we stopped here on our way back from Plitvice.

There’s an adorable wine garden here, but it wasn’t open. We stopped at another place we thought was wine garden...which only served wine and brandy and it was, interesting? We walked up and the lady, who was outside dirnking and smoking a cigarette, talking to her friend was like “What you want? We have Wine and Brandy and that is it”…we were like, um do you even work here? This is a good kick off place if you’re doing Krk Waterfalls though. It was essentially empty after 1pm (which is probably because of off season)

This place is also a must. Amazing little walled in city, right outside of Split. We spent the rest of the day slowing walking around, exploring the old town. Again, you could spend ½ a day just walking around and taking in the sites.

Missed: The Kamerlengo Fortress—this was closed when we went to go check it out and I think its something that probably can be missed. But, if you have time, it should be checked out

Grabbed some ice cream here. Its outside the city walls, near where we parked but is in route when walking back to the Old Town

Beautiful old fortress that you can visit and climb up to the top. The signs are easy enough to follow in town. It takes about 10-30 min to walk all the way up but make sure you climb the ladder through the very small hole in the tower to get the best possible views at the top.

THIS IS A MUST! It took about 2 hours in total and was a blast (even with my fear of heights)

Stopped here in Brela to grab a bite and a drink. Not a lot open this time of year, unfortunately! Got the octopus salad and the calamari

Explored around here while waiting for the Sixt guy to get back to the shop. It’s nice to walk around the seaside promenade. The church really isn’t much to look at though. We sat for a while, near the rocks in front of villa Lilly (a strange apartment/rental that may be empty) to watch the waves come crashing in

Airbnb. Ronni. Woke him up. (Cab guy ran away). Fantastic place

The one place where there was food. Cheese omelette, club sandwich and legit lemon water....not lemon aid, lemon water

Famous Beach. Probably really cool during summer/high season

One of the BEST things we did. The history is amazing, the cousins are great and the food/spread is even better. Fig marmalade is to die for.

Recommended by Ronni. Really the only place open. Big menu, good selection. Got the gnocchi with bacon and truffle and “chocolate pancakes” aka Nutella crepes. Cat kept jumping up on my chair. Table of ladies behind us that knew everyone in town. After dinner drinks/liquor (fig and ?prescott some sort of traditional/medicinal herbs—barf)

Great views. A bit of a hike but worth it + restaurant with wine!
