Dubrovnik - you can't hide. But maybe you don't want to.

 Small old town. Smooth paving stones.

One week. Adventure. Sun. Clear turquoise waters. Heat. Shades and cooling evenings. Experience. Together. We love Croatia.

  1. I went to Croatia with a sailing trip around 5 years ago. There was this big fire in Dubrovnik and we couldn't get into the city and anchored far away. A pity! I love your pictures, Kreetta, they are all stunning! What a nice mood!

  3. Croatia is high on my travel wishlist. Good to know a few more names of islands to visit, as everyone seems to mention the same few islands. Gorgeous pictures!

  4. Hi Deepa! Great to see you here and thank you! Yes, I'm sure still we aren't the only ones who has visited on these islands but they are so great - no cars. Very good sandy beaches - that is not so common in Croatia. Small places.

  5. Beautiful photography Kreetta, as always! I'm getting a bit nostalgic when I see this - after living in Montenegro and going to the coast there and in Croatia so often I'm really starting to miss it. I am a big fan of Croatia - the sea, the people, the food - me and my husband dream of living in a little house on a croatian island when we're old...
