Croatia is a country located at the intersection of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans. It looks like a crescent moon on the map. Croatia has a long coastline, the longest among the Balkan countries, with beautiful scenery along the way; it has over 1185 islands, earning it the nickname 'Country of a Thousand Islands'. The most famous is Plitvice Lakes, where 16 natural lakes are connected, with a large amount of calcium carbonate limestone deposits in the lakes, presenting green, gray, blue, etc., forming an ultimate natural landscape.

Speaking of Croatia, one must first mention Dubrovnik, also known as 'King's Landing' in the famous 'Game of Thrones'. Even if you're not a fan of the show, it's more customary to call it King's Landing, as it seems to show the grandeur of this ancient city.
Although small, Šibenik offers so much. First of all, this is one of the oldest cities in Croatia, whose name is mentioned in a document of Petar Krešimir IV, and dates back to 1066, and for this reason, the city is nicknamed "Krešimir's city". Old city core of Šibenik includes 24 churches, 4 fortresses and 4 wells. This is also a city located in an incredibly beautiful bay, that you will fall in love with at first sight.
Šibenik also has its own aquapark, which is the first in Dalmatia, it is the Solaris aquapark. Solaris includes a wide range of family and social attractions, games and attractions suitable for children of all ages and adults. I would recommend to everyone who happens to be in Croatia to visit Šibenik, as well. Šibenik, in addition to its rich cultural heritage, also offers plenty of entertainment.
Game of Thrones Conquest, the Croatian coastal frenzy travel guide
Because of an American TV series, Croatia has become one of the most focused tourist destinations in the world. In the king of American TV series, Game of Thrones, the capital of the continent of Westeros, King's Landing, was filmed in the southern coastal city of Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The azure Adriatic Sea and the red roofs of the ancient city walls form a natural painting, beautiful from any angle. If you choose a homestay on the mountain, you can overlook the entire castle, but going up and down the stairs is really tiring. You can stay in Dubrovnik for two days; the city is actually not that big.
From Dubrovnik, there are two routes: one going south to Montenegro, about a 5-hour drive to the famous tourist city of Kotor; the other is the northern route I took, heading north along the Croatian coastal cities. Additionally, to the northeast of the city, you can go to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, also a famous tourist city.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Croatia occupied most of the coastline, hence the nickname 'Coastal Frenzy'. When taking the bus north, you will pass through Neum, the only coastal city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where police will come on board to check passports, and it will be over soon, making you feel sorry for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The northern route is Dubrovnik—Split—Trogir half-day tour—Zadar—fly to Pula—Rovinj, then take a car to the capital Zagreb, and then you can go to Koper in Slovenia, or Trieste in Italy, the latter being a larger city, recommended by the ticket seller for me to stay. Long-distance bus luggage is charged extra, but not much, Croatia is a bit expensive, and taxis are not cheap.
Key cities: In addition to King's Landing, Split is the second-largest city and a historic city with many Roman ruins; Trogir and Šibenik are both Game of Thrones filming locations, and if you have limited time, it's okay not to go; Zadar is known for the world's most beautiful sunset, and the small town is very distinctive.
I didn't go to Croatia's Jiuzhaigou, Plitvice Lakes, but flew directly from Zadar to the Pula Peninsula, where Pula has complete ancient Roman amphitheater ruins; Rovinj is also particularly beautiful, with the castle right on the sea.
Overall impression: Very stunning at first glance, especially the beautiful seascape and city, but after walking a lot, it feels the same and a bit boring. Overall, there are no bad places along the Adriatic coast, Montenegro, Slovenia are all extremely beautiful, worth visiting again and again.
People in the former Yugoslavia are tall and handsome, no wonder they have produced talents in the three major balls and tennis.

【Dubrovnik, Croatia Travel Guide】
Are you attracted by the ancient city with red roofs, the blue sea and the beauty of the islands? Then, Dubrovnik in Croatia is definitely one of the travel destinations you can't miss in your life!
✨Walk on the city wall: Climb the ancient city wall, go around the old city, feel the magnificent scenery, you will be shocked! At sunset, the scenery is even more incomparable.
✨Take a cable car to the top of Srd Mountain to watch the sunset: You can go to the top of the mountain from the cable car station outside the north gate of the ancient city, you will see a 360° panoramic view of Dubrovnik, with beautiful scenery in your eyes. Then have a sunset dinner at the highest restaurant in Dubrovnik, it's so romantic!
✨Wandering in the ancient city: Truly feel the history and culture of Dubrovnik, walk into those narrow alleys, climb those steps with a sense of history, visit various relics, it will definitely leave a deep impression on you.
✨Sea activities: Experience water activities such as kayaking, enjoy the fun and challenge of the sea.
✨Special experience: Find the shooting spots of Game of Thrones, explore the scenes in the drama, it's also a lot of fun!
✨Accommodation suggestions: Because the roads in the old city are mostly bluestone roads, they are not accessible by car, and there are hundreds of steps to enter and exit the city, so it is not recommended to live in the old city. It is recommended to stay in a hillside homestay facing the sea outside the old city, with direct access to the highway, and overlooking Dubrovnik.
✨Itinerary planning: It is recommended to plan a 3-day itinerary, D1 visit Banje Beach and the fortress, then take a cable car to the mountain for a sunset dinner; D2 visit the old city and the city wall; D3 experience sea activities such as kayaking.
✨Best season: The climate is pleasant in May-June and September-October, and there are relatively few people. July-August is hot and crowded with high prices, but the sea water temperature is good. It's cold and rainy from November to April.
I hope this guide can help you! Get ready to start your dream trip to Dubrovnik, Croatia!💖✈️🌊
Dubrovnik - a Balkan Paradise
Dubrovnik is famous for being the location of Games of Thrones, but it's so much more than that. Dubrovnik Old Town is staggeringly beautiful with imposing towers, picturesque streets and a stunning view of the Adriatic Sea.
The tourist traffic can be overwhelming during the summertime. I went there last April and the crowds were manageable.
Food is expensive inside the Old Town (about 20euro per meal, ugh) but there are cheap eats when you venture out of the tourist hotspots.
Go visit!#dubrovnik
Getting There - you can join a cruise or fly into Dubrovnik. You can also travel overland from nearby countries (Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro)
Attractions - The lovely Stradun, Old City Walls and the resorts in Lapad
Hotels - accommodations are kinda pricey
Food & Restaurants - food is also expensive, but there are plenty of options. Have a gelato and pizza
Shopping - The souvenirs inside Okd Town are frightfully expensive
Hidden corners in Old Dubrovnik 🇭🇷
Dubrovnik is a pearl of the Adriatic Coastline and you will understand this term as soon as you visit it. The old town is surrounded by massive walls and the panoramic views are filled with typical orange rooftops. This city will have you walk endless stairs, but you will certainly come back for more – that’s how beautiful it is. During summer, the sunset created amazing golden light for your photo and you will be able to capture the beauty of Dubrovnik. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #beachlife #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #summervacation

Dragon’s Eye Lake, a must-visit for couples
There is a belief that couples who took a swim here will be blessed with happiness and love in a lifetime. 😉Any plan to visit? Captured here by @Sophiapope.
📍Dragon’s Eye Lake, Marina Frapa, near Rogoznica, Dalmatia region, Croatia.
🐉 Dragon’s Eye Lake is 10,000 square meters wide and surrounded by cliffs.
The legend that gives the lake its name is about the dragon Murlin. Murlin was the son of Goddess Hera and Poseidon. He promised to protect the islanders on the condition of making the prettiest girl his wife every year. However, those girls never survived the first night. Aristotle, the grandson of Jason the Argonaut, fell in love with a girl who would soon be the next victim of Murlin. So, Aristotle challenged Murlin to a duel of spears 🔱. In the end, the wounded dragon took out his eye. The eye fell under his feet and melted stones, creating a crack where the sea filled in.
Croatia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
12-22 April 24, Our Croatian road trip started from upper- lower town of Zagreb to amazing Plitvice lake national park. Then we drove to listen to the sea organ of Zadar and stopped by old town Trogir, then Splitz. After visited old town and green market and took panoramic view of Split at Marjan park view point, don't miss a local cuisine at any konoba ...restaurant. Then we decided to have an experience of adriatic sea view on Korcula island. We took a 15 minutes ferry with our car from Orebic which we fall into a stunning nice little old town Korcular we also have a chance to buy some local wine and olive oil at Blato. and a quiet beach at Priscapac. After a local slow life in Korcula, we head to a busy Dubrovnik for sunset beach, old town, Pile. Where we returned our car and used the local bus so we didn't have to look for any zone3 carpark, which is the most reasonable price to pay. At the end of the trip we stay at Cavtat small beach town since we had to caught an early flight back home. We didn't expected any thing much. but it turned to be another worst staying in. Even can be recommend to stay if you have a car with you.
One thing that have to be mention is all the nice and kind hrvat.
It will be one of my memerable small nice country.
