Discover Croatia's allures with travel experts Leila Krešić-Jurić and Antonia Urlic,
as we traverse the nation's vibrant history and culture. From ancient cities to contemporary charms, we uncover the reasons behind Croatia's soaring popularity. The 'Pearl of the Adriatic', Dubrovnik, unveils its deep cultural significance and Game of Thrones fame, and a thriving culinary scene.
Zagreb offers festive markets, a cathedral that dominates the skyline, and the quirky the Museum of Broken Relationships. Indulge in Zagreb's traditional Strukli, a gastronomic gem best savored within the grandeur of the Hotel Esplanade.
From the storied walls of Diocletian's Palace in Split to the cascading beauty of Plitvice Lakes National Park.
And for those seeking a connection with nature, we share personal stories including a mesmerizing encounter with a dolphin off the island of Hvar, in the Adriatic.
