When on holiday in Hvar and wanting to explore the island, you can, of course, do so by car. However, there are other options, such as renting a bicycle, an e-bicycle, a scooter, or another type of vehicle. Alternatively, you can join a quad tour, as we did. I brought my car to the island,

Despite receiving several invitations over the years, I never managed to find a day for a trip. My trip with Maslina Tours not only included a visit to Kornati Island but also a visit
Šibenik is a fascinating town, often overlooked due to its lack of an airport. Nevertheless, I believe Šibenik is worth considering for a holiday or a day trip. In the video below, I showcase Šibenik’s Old Town, the green market, the fortress protecting the city, one of its UNESCO sites, and other intriguing areas. In
In the video below, I visit the UNESCO-listed St. Nicholas Fortress, a site I have had on my bucket list for many years. I have been to the fortress before, but only from the land side. This time, I actually entered the fortress and experienced it from the inside. The St. Nicholas Fortress is built
In today’s video, we take you on a self-catering island ”hopping” tour to islands Kaprije and Žirje in the Šibenik Archipelago. The Šibenik Archipelago is less known than the Zadar Archipelago with Kornati Islands, the National Park, and Telašćica Nature Park, but it is a real gem.
