WINTER in CROATIA

We're used to cold winters in Canada so this time of year in Split is perfect weather for us. We visit Marjan Hill to get some great views of the city and the sea before enjoying the celebrations of Advent on the Riva. Wandering the charming streets and showing you some of Split has us contemplating whether we should stay here a bit longer...

Lika - Karlovac: A harmony of nature and tradition

Have you ever seen with your own eyes the sparkling clear springs grow into magnificent rivers? Have you ever truly perceived the power and the allure of the mysterious mountains? And finally, have you ever thought that their clarity and their power could become yours?

If you visit the Lika-Karlovac tourist region, the continental part of Croatia which is the link between Dalmatian littoral and the central section of the country, you shall be all that closer to the answer. For, that clarity and power are perhaps best conveyed by the wondrousness of the Plitvice Lakes National Park, the phenomenon which attracts with its uniqueness, but also with the effect it bears on both our mental and physical wellbeing. The National Park of Northern Velebit is an area of distinctive diversity of karstic forms, the wealth of all kinds of a living world and of breathtaking natural beauty in a relatively small area.
