Croatia has no shortage of things to see, but not everything is worth the trip. This collection covers the sights that are — the places I have visited myself and can honestly say deserve a spot on your itinerary, whether as a day trip, a detour on a longer drive, or the main reason for going somewhere in the first place.
You will find Croatia’s most celebrated sights here: Plitvice Lakes, the Dubrovnik Walls, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, and Krka National Park. But also the ones that tend to fly under the radar — the ancient Roman ruins at Salona just outside Split, the watermill village of Rastoke near Plitvice, the tiny sponge diving island of Krapanj, and the UNESCO listed St. Nicholas Fortress outside Šibenik. Each one is covered with a YouTube video so you can see it before you decide.
Croatia rewards the curious traveller. Some of the best things to see in Croatia are not the ones splashed across every travel brochure — they are the ones you stumble across, or the ones someone who knows the country well points you towards. That is what this collection is here for.
New sights are added regularly as I continue exploring Croatia, so it is worth checking back.
For years I have been travelling between Split and Dubrovnik, and each time I looked at the wall of Ston from the coastal road, I kept repeating to myself, “One day you will have to visit and figure out why the wall is located in such a strange place.” I
On all my many visits to the old town of Dubrovnik and its famous walls, I have always looked over at Lokrum and thought, “I need to visit it next time I’m here.” Well, that never happened for years — until recently, when I finally made it to Lokrum together
I finally made it to Mljet, a destination that has been on my bucket list for over 20 years. I even managed to visit Mljet Island twice within the same week! Did Mljet disappoint me? Not at all. On the contrary, I loved the island and its National Park, and
Have you ever passed by a place and told yourself, “I need to visit there one day”? That’s exactly how I felt about Krapanj Island, which I’ve admired countless times while driving the coastal road from Split to Šibenik. Well, guess what? I finally visited Krapanj Island in combination with
I finally made it! Kornati National Park has been on my bucket list since I started traveling around Croatia in 2006. 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
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
https://youtu.be/DXD6srVzSrI In this video, I am going to show you the Dubrovnik Wall, the 3rd most visited place in Croatia after the Diocletian Palace in Split and the national park Plitvice Lakes. I hope my video convinces you to visit Dubrovnik and the Wall one day—they are truly unique. The
Let me take you to Croatia’s second most popular national park! Our itinerary includes two boat trips, a two-hour walk at Skradinski Buk, a visit to Visovac Island, and a walk around the cascading waterfalls at Roški Slap. As mentioned in the videos, I have compiled all the essential information

The Salona ruins, located near the modern-day city of Solin, might be one of the most underrated destinations in Dalmatia. Just a 10-15-minute drive from Split, this historical site is often overlooked. For a fair ticket price, you can spend an entire afternoon exploring this ancient Roman city and get
