Classic Croatia!!

We wanted to celebrate our 10th anniversary in Croatia in 2020. Two years of Pandemic and no international travels. Finally we could travel to Croatia in 2022 in the flights without masks. We landed in Split, the coastal town in Adriatic Sea. We rented a car in Split and headed towards the north, Trogir. It is a town on the coastal Adriatic coast of Croatia. Its preserved old town, known for its mix of Renaissance, baroque and Romanesque buildings. Then we went to another scenic Adriatic coastal city - Šibenik, where the river Krka flows into the Adriatic sea. The panoramic view of the city from St. Michael’s fortress and Cathedral of St. James are notable places to see in Šibenik.

Krka National Park is a must see place in Croatia. It is situated along the Krka River in southern Croatia. It’s known for a series of 7 waterfalls. The national park is a vast and primarily unaltered area of exceptional natural value, including one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. Then we drove to Plitvice National park which is 295 sq km forest reserve in central Croatia. It’s known for a chain of 16 terraced lakes, joined by waterfalls, that extend in to a limestone canyon. Walkways and hiking trails wind around and across the water, and an electric boat links the 12 upper and 4 lower lakes. It was a pure connect with the nature and they completely preserve this National park from human intervention to a greater degree. It’s an exceptional place for people who loves hiking for many kms and enjoy the nature.

Besides the national park, we went to Barac caves almost close to the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina was worth visiting. Deer Valley Ranch is worth to check out. Anish thoroughly enjoyed feeding the Deer and horses in this scenic park. We took the ferry from Split to Supetar, a small coastal city in the Island of Brac. Adriatic Sea is a treat to the eyes when the sun shines with blue skies around. Croatia is a great touristic destination, it’s only 30 years after the Balkan war. I always admired Croatian football team, such a small nation but produces some stellar performances in Euro and World cup and Luka Morich is one of my favorite Croatian. The weather was exceptionally great during our entire trip and it was a much needed travel after the tough pandemic times.
