10 Things to do in Pula, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Pola)
Pula was our first introduction to Croatia and what a way to start! Located on the Istrian peninsula, this seaside town is home to Roman ruins, ancient temples, and some delicious pizza. The town won us over right from day one, so in this video, we’re going to take you on a tour of Pula and show you some of the highlights:
The amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at the same time the Colosseum in Rome was going up. What’s even more shocking is how well preserved it is; this is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre with all four side towers and three stories still standing.
As a travel tip, if you visit during the summer months, you can catch numerous events at the amphitheatre, including concerts, movie screenings, and even reenactments of games from Ancient Rome.
When it comes to boat tours, the most popular destination is , a group of small islands that sit out on the Adriatic Sea.
The islands have a few archaeological and cultural sites but though admission to the park used to be free, these days you have to join one of the official excursions arranged by the park or local tourist agencies.
As for Pula Cathedral, it turns out it was closed when we tried to visit, so we can only show you the outside.
After all that wandering around town, it was finally time for lunch. We arrived at Jupiter Pizzeria just as they were opening and didn’t waste any time grabbing a seat on their outdoor terrace.
The fortress we spotted turned out to be Pula Castle, also known as Kaštel. Located atop a hill right in the centre of Pula, this fortress was built by the Venetians during the 17th century.
Admission was 20 kuna per person and there were two different museums exhibits to visit, however, we’d argue that the main draw are the views.
Over the course of the centuries, the Temple of Augustus has seen many uses from a Christian church to a grain storehouse, but at present, it houses a very small 1-room museum – and when we say small, we mean you can visit in 5 minutes!
The Roman Mosaic is just a short walk from the Forum, so it’s worth the little detour down back streets. This incredible well-preserved floor depicts the Punishment of Dirce, which is straight out of Greek mythology.

The Croatian islands was another dream of mine for many years, and it came true on exactly 3 months of life on the road. Fortunately I had heard of Vis island the day before I set off and picked the small town of Komiza to lay low and simply relax. After a 3 hour ferry ride from Split, I arrived in Vis town to catch a bus across to Komiza, a personal favorite of mine in all of Croatia. The town is small, quaint, and not full of tourists, the perfect place to relax and do nothing. My Airbnb was the most memorable, as it was on the third floor of and old building, with a window that opened out to the sea.
My next island was the town of Hvar on Hvar island. I personally wasn't too crazy about this town as it was really crowded with tourism. I stayed overnight in a cheap hostel in town, But because I'm so far from home, I did my best to appreciate it. In the morning before departure, I walked outside of town for a nice swim at a nearby beach.
My next island is the island of Korcula. After spending about an hour walking around Vela Luka, I made my way over to Korcula town, another personal favorite of mine. Korcula is an old fortified town that juts out into the sea with the backdrop of the Peljesac peninsula. This once Venetian city is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. With Summer officially in full gear, I took advantage of kayaking around Korcula and the nearby islets delivering amazing views and nice alone beach time.
On my final day concluding my second but not final voyage in Croatia, I took the ferry to Orebic on Peljesac, hitchhiked twice to Trpanj, caught a ferry to Ploce, and finally caught a ride to Mostar straight from the ferry.
I love Croatia!!!!

OMG Trip 24: Malaysia - Penang, Langkawi
Jeden deň sme len tak ležali v posteli a z ničoho nič nás napadla myšlienka dlhodobejšieho cestovania. Začali sme pomaly s plánovaním, ale takým reálnym sa to stalo, až keď sme v decembri 2017 kúpili prvú letenku do Iránu a oznámili to rodine. Našu cestu okolo sveta sme nazvali ako OMG trip, pretože na začiatku to naozaj bolo stále také neuveriteľné: óóóó môj Bože, my naozaj ideme. A sme tu, Filip a Zuzka, ktorí sa vzdali všetkého na Slovensku, práce, bytu a vybrali sa do sveta. Cestovali sme aj predtým s našimi kamošmi, ale vždy to bolo iba na 3 - 4 týždne. Tentokrát sme sa vybrali s dvomi 65l a dvomi 30l ruksakmi do sveta na dlhšie, zatiaľ bez dátumu návratu.

One day we were just lying down in the bed and suddenly idea of long-term travel came out with. We started slowly to plan, but it became real after buying the first ticket to Iran in December 2017 and announcing it to our family. We called our around the world trip as OMG trip because at the begining it was still incredible: oh my God, we are really going. And here we are, Filip and Zuzka, who gave up of everything in Slovakia, work, flat and chose the world. We had already traveled with our friends, but it was only for 3-4 weeks. This time we hit the road with two 65l and two 30l backpacks for longer time, still without return date.
