I have watched your video regarding Split, Split airport and Krka NP, it helps me having a more detailed picture of those place. I am coming to Croatia with my 3 friends in Oct. We also want to go Izvor Cetine (Eye of the Earth) as I found it very amazing.
We are 4 women, we don’t drive and there is no tour operator go to there. Do you know how can we go there after visit Krka ?
Many thanks for your advice.

without a car, that i almost impossiple i think, there is probably local buses which could take you some of the way, but you will probably have to travel to Knin first. The main road is about 6 or 7 km from Izvor Cetine, so even if you could find a bus, you would still have to walk the last part.
Taxi is one option, but it is going to be quite expensive from Krka, is almost 70 km from Izvor Cetine.
Hi Morten. Just back from 4 day trip to Split. A quick message to say thank you!! Watching your videos before our trip really helped with our plans and activities. From arriving at airport taking the shuttle bus, booking boats for a day trip to Hvar and exploring Marjan park along with the beaches, your information in videos allowed us to make the most of our time. Thank you so much.
Hello Morten,
Really enjoy the videos and looking forward to more content in weeks ahead as we prepare for our first trip to Croatia from Canada!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much for the kind message — I really appreciate it! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. That’s exciting that you’re planning your first trip to Croatia from Canada!
I hope the videos help a bit with the planning, and you’re going to have an amazing time here.
Hi Morten,
Me and my friends are planning on coming to Split soon and were wondering if its best to book island ferry trips online or in person at the port. Which would be cheaper? Love your videos!
Hi Morten…..just interested to know here with a question please. Does the small foot passenger ferry still run from Orebic to Korcula? I’ve tried looking on Google but I can’t see any mention. We did this journey on a private day trip about 14 years ago.
Hello Morten
We are looking at coming to Pula, Poreč, Rovinj in 2027 and after looking at your video and reading your travel advise we were wondering without a car which town would be the best place to base ourselves for doing day trips that you mentioned? as we would like to go into the hill towns that you suggested as well.
Plus you mentioned that you can get transport from Pula airport to Poreč and Rovinj but is it a local bus service or shuttle or taxi?
thank you
Matthew
I think you should have same day trip options from Porec and Rovinj and as they are (In my opnion) the two most beatiful cities on Istria, I would pick one of them.
As for the shuttle, they have stopped operating the shuttle bus to Porec and Rovinj, so you have the following options
Most convinient, Uber or private transfer
Cheapest, shuttle bus to Pula Bus Station and then catch a bus to Porec / Rovinj from there
Thanks for your advise great help.
Out of the two cities Porec and Rovinj which is your pick for the best to stay in for down days to just wander?
As you have said both can do day trips.
And on paper and your videos they read as beautiful, so we are not sure which one to go for?
thanks
Matthew
Hi Matthew,
Choosing between Poreč and Rovinj isn’t easy — as I said, both are fantastic. For pure relaxation and just strolling around town, I think both are great, with maybe a small plus for Rovinj.
My wife and I enjoy watching your videos, we love visiting Istria but wanted a change so last year we spent 3 weeks with a car visiting Zadar, Vodice, Sibenik, Primosten, Trogir and Split. You were the inspiration for all our stops, they were all fantastic and disappoint so thank you. I realize you live in Split but wondered if you have any plans to travel and video the beautiful destinations in Istria?
Thank you so much for your kind comment — it really made my day! I’m glad to hear that you and your wife had a great trip in Nord Dalmatia.
We have planned two weeks filming in Istria at the end of August, so we will be publishing videos from Istra, end of the year and beginning of 2027 (We only publish once a week, so we distribute the recordings over a longer period)
The next 3 weeks, we are filming coastal towns south of Split mainly
Thanks again for watching and for taking the time to write. and hope to see you back in Croatia again soon!
Hello Morten,
Hope this finds you well?
The Mrs and I thoroughly enjoy your videos.
We are coming to Croatia with the wife’s family (13 of us) in Aug 2027
we are staying at Kastela Luksic, but we gave noticed that there are limited videos for that area, so we were wondering if you consider doing a little hop through that area 🤞🏻😀 (maybe connecting the 7 villages) lots of fascinating history in that area.
keep up the good work.
thank you,

Of course I will film in Kastela, it will be one video showing all 7 of them, but I have not set a fixed date yet, next month we are filming south of Split and in Istra, If all works out, I probably will film Kastela in September.
Hello Morten! Have immensely enjoyed your videos and they have made me excited for my first visit from Sweden to Croatia at the end of August. I have booked flights to Split and have tentatively booked a hotel in Baska Voda for 7 nights. But I have a bit of decision anxiety. Do you recommend keeping that or booking somewhere on Brac instead? Travelling with 70-year old mother, and hoping to not rent a car and rely on public transport. Want easy reach to beaches and nice restaurant, but would also like “peace and quiet”. Or do you have other recommendations for us?
This week we have been down filming on the Makarska Riviera, and one of the places we filmed was Baška Voda 😁
Baška Voda is amazing, but when we were there it was very full. At the end of August it will certainly be less crowded, but I’m not 100% sure about the “peace and quiet” part.
Public transport in Baška Voda is also a bit of a hassle, as the intercity buses don’t depart from the village itself but from the main road above.
I’m 99% sure you will still have a great time if you choose Baška Voda. It may not tick all your boxes 100%, but it’s a great place and that makes up for a lot.
I discussed it with my cameraman, and based on the information you provided, we think you should consider Supetar on the island of Brač. It’s a wonderful place with nice beaches, more peaceful, and it has easy access to Split by ferry as well as buses to other villages on the island.
In the end, it’s up to you to make the decision, but I think no matter what you choose you will enjoy yourselves and have a great holiday. Croatia is wonderful, and at the end of August the weather will be great. So even if it doesn’t tick every single one of your wish-list boxes, I’m sure you and your mum will still have a fantastic holiday.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful response! I have until the 20th to cancel my booking, will wait and watch your upcoming video before I make my decision. I have looked at Postira as well, as it seemed lovely from your video. Aside from that I think Primošten looks lovely as well, really like the look of the old town and the perhaps more rugged coast line.
This late before departure it is a bit more challenging finding good accommodation though.

Hi Morten,

Hi Delia,
You can do both, if you want to make sure to have ticket for a specific departure buying online a day before is a good idea.
If you buy at the port or directly at the website of the ferry company, the price is the same, if you use a third party platform prices are higher.
Have a good trip to Split.
Morten
Hi Morten…..just interested to know here with a question please. Does the small foot passenger ferry still run from Orebic to Korcula? I’ve tried looking on Google but I can’t see any mention. We did this journey on a private day trip about 14 years ago.

Hi Margaret,
Yes there is still a small boat between the old town and Orebic, it is operated by G&V line https://gv-zadar.hr/linija/drzavna-brodska-linija-br-614-orebic-peljesac-korcula-i-obratno/

This late before departure it is a bit more challenging finding good accommodation though.
Postira is also a very nice place, very quiet compared to Baška Voda.
And Primosten is also a lovely place; the coastline is only rugged around the old town peninsula; north and south you have nice pebble beaches
That’s the problem with Croatia; there are too many nice spots to choose between 🙂
hope you manage to find the right spot 🙂
