How long is the drive from Zagreb to Dubrovnik?
The direct drive from Zagreb to Dubrovnik is 372 mi (599 km), and should have a drive time of 6 hrs 16 mins in normal traffic.
If you’re going on a road trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik, we did the research for you and compiled some great stops along the way — with Split, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Zadar, Mostar, Hvar, Sibenik, and Trogir, as well as top places to visit like B&B Lower Lakes and Plitvice Lakes National Park, or the ever-popular Great Waterfall.
The top cities between Zagreb and Dubrovnik are Split, Plitvice Lakes National Park, Zadar, Mostar, Hvar, Sibenik, and Trogir. Split is the most popular city on the route. It's 4 hours from Zagreb and 3 hours from Dubrovnik.
For hikers, Plitvice Lakes National Park offers a variety of trails that wind through alpine forests and meadows, past sparkling lakes and waterfalls. The park also contains 16 freshwater lakes that are popular for rafting and kayaking. The park was the site of armed confrontation during Croatia's war of independence in the early 1990s, but has since been renovated as a source of economic wealth for the region. Today, visitors can explore hiking trails and enjoy beautiful natural scenery.
One of the most majestic places I have visited in my life, the winter landscape is beautiful, as well as the paths to walk for hours with a different landscape every 3 meters.
The waterfalls are incredible and it is a super good space to go with pets and be there for at least 3 or 4 hours touring the place.
The staff was very friendly

This is without a doubt the best place I have ever been. Nature is wonderful, here you can see its pure beauty. The place is fantastic, the staff is helpful, there are small restaurants, gift shops, restrooms in the park. The boat fee is included in the entrance fee. I recommend route C, which is not challenging, the total distance is eight kilometers, with a negligible elevation gain. Cool buses will take you back to the main entrance at the end of the visit. 5*

The lakes were simply fantastic, the price is worth the visit, but I recommend mixing up the paths. We were there when the park opened, after the tour and going back to the entrance area we were very glad we went at 7 am.. the place was crowded.. a lot of tourists really. I recommend going as early as you can, if you want to visit calmly and are not too fond of crowds.

Absolutely Stunning creation of Nature!! The hike is beautiful and offers wonderful views. The park has 2 entrances and both entrances have 4 routes to choose from. We entered from entrance 2 and did route H which is quite similar to route C from entrance 1, it is almost 9kms and requires 4 - 6 hours. In the peak season, a ticket costs 40 Euro for an adult and it’s better to buy tickets in advance. Ticket price includes the bus and boat ride.
Trail is well maintained and has clear directions as per routes. It was a bit crowded due to summer vacation, so try going as early as possible in the morning.
Wear comfortable shoes, hiking shoes are recommended though. Carry enough water and some snacks, though you can also buy inside the park.
Definitely worth a visit!!

A very very beautiful national park. Worth visiting.
Better to go early in the morning or afternoon to see the water color as aqua blue/green. By evening since the sun starts setting in the west, it won't reflect on water and may miss the beauty of this magical place.
Trek route C or H is best as it covers both lower and upper lakes. There are beautiful waterfalls in the upper lakes. It will take a minimum of 6 hrs to cover this route.

It had poured down rain all night and morning, so I delayed entering the park until late morning. The guide suggested which trails to take for a good half-day excursion. I really don't think you can go wrong. So beautiful!

From the desk where you buy tickets through the park and back to the souvenir shop - great experience. Kind staff, positive energy.
All accommodation that is in the park is exquisite and great for welcoming guests for years to come.
Nature is splendid and breathtaking. We have treasure that we must preserve.
I'm always happy to come back here.

I can imagine it gets crowded in the summer but on a rainy day in April is was empty, calm, misty and incredibly beautiful. The park itself is intelligently set up, with well-maintained paths and platforms that swirl in-between and right up to the waterfalls without clashing with the landscape. In fact, the park seems to be a model of how to organize such a site in ways which make it ecologically responsible, easily accessible for a lot of people, with well thought out branching paths, sufficient rest stops that are discreetly integrated in the setting and plenty of (silent) boats/shuttles.

It is a beautiful natural park. The views are just amazing! It has very colourful landscapes and lakes. It is definitely worth the visit and to spare a lot of time. Unfortunately I did not had the opportunity to camp for a longer time but now have seeing what I have there, I’d definitely think about staying more time in a next opportunity. I went as couple and during summer which is allegedly the best time to see the crystals on the water reflected by the sunlight.
Emerson Franco — Google review
Beautiful national park. There is a bus that goes directly from Zagreb to the park, it takes approximate 2hrs and 15 minutes . I strongly recommend to purchase the tickets online in advance. It is good to spend at least 6 hours walking around.
Vilma Vega — Google review
Wonderful park. We were lucky to find an amazing sunny weather after the heavy rain of the days before. I suggest to follow the H path from entrance 2. Come early in the morning (we enter at 9am) to fully enjoy the experience without annoying crowd.

Spectacular! The park and the lakes are the Moseley amazing lakes I've ever seen. The color is unreal, the waterfall are stunning. The park is crowded, even early in the morning but very organized. Attention that you also need to pay for parking separately.
Yuval Mohl — Google review
Beautiful. There are several hike options but it can get very busy during the holiday season, even in early September. The trails are quite narrow and you could get held up if one person stops to take pictures.
The cafeterias within the National Park do not offer much choice, especially if you are a vegetarian.
Gopika Avanoor — Google review
I’d like to give this place 5 stars just based off its incredible beauty. But, the park has a bit of a bad design for being able to see it without being overcrowded, which the design and setup of the park causes. There’s basically one narrow boardwalk through the various levels of the lakes, which have no railing. So you really can’t stop anywhere and just take in the view or get pictures that aren’t horribly rushed. They also have a ferry system that appears to be badly overwhelmed with extremely long lines (we didn’t take it because of those lines). Other than that, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Crystal clear blue/green/turquoise waters everywhere. Many waterfalls and overflows and lush green trees. Just absolutely picturesque. But other than that boardwalk, there’s not really much else to see or do, no other trails or anything. There is also timed entry, so either purchase tickets beforehand, or be prepared to wait until the next time available. All in all, if you’re in Croatia, you should definitely go check out this park. Crowds notwithstanding, it’s still a pretty cool place and extremely beautiful.
Ashley Fountain — Google review
This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We went here at winter time and the price for the entry was only 10 euro per person, kinds were free since they were 5 and 6. The beauty of the lake and waterfalls can not be described with words. We are looking forward to see it in all season.
Maja Goričanec Ordanić — Google review
The best, must-visit spot of Croatia. The landscapes this park offers are breathtaking. I recommend trail C, and if you have plenty of time, K seems like a great choice too.
Gyuvin K. — Google review
One of the most beautiful places on the earth!! Definitely recommended to take the maximum possible route. We took route C and 20k steps were worth it. Check the weather forecast before planning the visit. But it surely will be beautiful in all the seasons.

Wonderful place for hikes and be in oneness with mother earth. Unbelievably serene and mind-blowing.
Upper lakes are less crowded and quiet while the lower ones are thriving with tourists. Plan your day and start early to enjoy the serenity of the park.
Raghunath N — Google review
I split the trip into two days - one day for the upper and one for the lower lakes. I highly recommend splitting it up. I also did the end of day and early day to avoid the crowds which was perfect. This is truly a magical place with just breathtaking scenery.
H. Rai — Google review
The most beautiful part is the first lake plus the overview of the waterfalls. The rest of the park is nice but for what it is, it's overpriced and overcrowded.
A lot of people are happy with just seeing the waterfalls so they could separate hikers from sightseers to fix some of the overcrowding.
David Oskarsson — Google review
This is one of those place that you must visit in Europe. The colour of lakes is just magical. You can choose 5 trails on different difficulty level and distance. You can go there with kids but I think that it could be dificult with stroller. On trails you can use a boat or buses (on some stages). There are a lot of stops with toilets and even fast food. On the stop next to the boats there is tap with a water that you can pour to bottle. From the cons: huge crowd. The amount of people is crazy there. The price - 40EUR per person - very expensive. Moreover you must pay for parking, too. It is not included in the ticket price to lakes. You must buy ticket in advance, tickets are sold for particular hours.
Agaatje Toffi — Google review
A must go if you're in Croatia. Pick the longest route, it's not a difficult stroll. There is a boat ride in the middle, but it is very smooth and relaxing. Experiencing the layers of this beautiful green-blue park is definitely and experience you won't forget. The longest route could take up to 6 hours, but if you're not taking your time you can easily complete it in 4 hours.
K L — Google review
This place is absolutely breathtaking! You need good shoes if you want to enjoy the longest route (K). I really recommend to start early in the morning because the park is extra full after 11!
You at least need to see this place once because it is ….spectacular!!!!!

The best natural park ever, the water color is absolutely amazing. Very very very nice. we did everything in one day but i wish we had the time to spend two days at least.
Vincent ROGER — Google review
Amazing landscape. A few hours drive out of Zagreb and worth the effort. To truly appreciate this national park, you should spend one or 2 nights to complete the longer hikes. Hiking routes are well sign posted. Park entry is €10 per person.
Highly recommended
Raph — Google review
We bought tickets online and all went perfectly even if it was crowded but still I really like walking and enjoying nature and taking pictures.
Everyone should visit Plitivice at least once in life. It's one of the most beautiful National Parks I have ever seen.
I will visit again.
Vedrana Šuković — Google review
Loved my visit to this national park with its lakes, waterfalls and woodland hills.
Free parking at this time of the year (early march) for my motorhome. The facilities are great for coffee and food. There is a boat ride or you can walk, I took the boat but walked back. The sun was out so made the scenery extra special. The lakes and various waterfalls are impressive. There are nice pathways and clear signs. Everything was brilliant, highly recommend. I will be back.
Richard Attoe — Google review
A must visit paradise in Croatia and one could easily get lost for half a day to a couple of days depending on the interest. At least half a day in a rush to get a taste of paradise is a must.
There are 2 entrances with a good number of parking places which seemed not crowded during October maybe in season it could be packed. Entrance tickets and parking was way below what I expected for this gem of nature. During the season it is a different price but worth paying. I do not understand why some reviewers complain about the price when it is so much of a treasure.
Overall the park is well maintained with good hiking trails, clean restrooms and good cafes and restaurants.
The park can get crowded but as a sensible tourist one has to plan and not blame the crowds on the park. The boardwalks can be packed with tourists hanging to take pics and not respecting others, just be mindful of this crowd
We parked at the first entrance and did the long trail - K which includes the boat ride and option to take the shuttle back to the parking lot. The trail starts off at the lower lakes with views of the amazing waterfalls before heading through the various trails, boardwalks and then the upper lakes.
If time permits I would recommend adding another trail to enjoy more of the views.
Near entrance 1 there is a really good restaurant for an amazing lunch or dinner. The day we visited it was not crowded and we were able to enjoy a peaceful lunch.
Overall a must visit park for all seasons.
Pradeep Ponnuswamy — Google review
Most beautiful waterfalls I have seen anywhere. Absolutely stunning. We did the full loop over the lower and upper lakes and it was about 12 miles. It took us 5 or so hours total with a stop for lunch.
We did this in March so the crowds were easy to handle. Particularly away from the two different entrances.
Diego Salas — Google review
Magical place. Makes you stop in owe and wonder.
The trick is to visit in low season (we went in April) and arrive early (we took the first boat from entrance 2 @8.30 and were the only people on it!). Then as we walked there was almost no one there and so it felt as if we had the whole park to ourselves.
Marta Walters — Google review
The park is amazing. Well worth the trip even in the off season. We visited in late March and there was hardly anyone here. The park was really beautiful, even though the trees had not leafed out yet. We spent two days in the park and we were glad we had the second day.
Corey Reimer — Google review
Definitively over crowded (also in March) but a must-see when in Croatia! The upper lakes are more beautiful than the lower ones, so pay attention when they are accessible as they are closed in winter. Alltogether something for your bucket list like the Grand Canyon or the Eiffel Tower.

Hvar is a verdant and peaceful island renowned for its captivating coastlines, charming bays, lush vineyards, and dense woodlands. The locale features an array of picturesque beaches that offer stunning views of the sparkling waters. Additionally, Hvar boasts scenic coves that are ideal for relaxing and soaking in the serene ambiance. Visitors can also explore the thriving vineyards and immaculate forests that dot the landscape, showcasing the natural beauty of this magnificent landmass.
Hvar island is one of the most popular islands in the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. 🇭🇷 And that is for a reason!
I loved strolling around Hvar town and feel the history of the place. You’ll find 13th century city walls, a hilltop fortress, gothic palaces, lovely medieval streets and so many restaurants and bars. ☀️
Stari Grad, located at the other side of the island, is less visited than Hvar town, wich makes it even more charming. There are cute narrow streets, churches, viewpoints and incredible wine tastings. 🧡 Thank you Sail Croatia for showing me around these beautiful islands!
Noureddine HASSANI — Google review
Lovely place to visit. Did this as part of a Day tour of Five Islands from Split. We managed to spend 2.5 hours here to explore and enjoy lunch. Head up main Street and climb the 156 steps for excellent views over the rooftops leading out over the harbour filled with boats and yachts.
Steven Brennan — Google review
As possibly the sunniest and most popular of the coastal islands in Croatia, Hvar makes either an ideal day trip from Split or a 2-3 night mini-break if you wish to explore more of the island and enjoy the vibrant nightlife.
Whether exploring the harbour and old town, climbing to the Spanish Fortress for spectacular views, visiting neighbouring islands by sea kayak, venturing inland to discover vineyards and lavender fields or driving to some of the most secluded coves - there is something for everyone here. And don't forget the great restaurants and beach clubs...
During July and August there are regular ferries from Split run by Jadrolinija, Krilo and TP Line. The journey takes about 1 hour. Ferries are less frequent in May and September and outside of these months a day trip is much harder to organise as sailing are only a couple of times a day and weather dependent.

Beautiful place to visit. We were there in May when it wasn't too busy.
Walking around the streets and alleyways just off the port area is very rewarding.
The fort overlooking the town is well worth the taxi ride up (or walk of you're feeling fit!)

Highly reccomend for 3 nights / 4 days. I highly recommend you do NOT waste your money going to Carpe Diem beach club. It's the biggest rip off on the island
Try all the difference beaches and water spots. Rent a car or buggy for a few hours ( only go early morning or evening it's too do )
Rent a speedboat or go for a boat cruise

What a mesmerizing beauty this island has! Clean, pristine waters, blue colored sky up and blue colored water I mean seriously felt like it's all edited but no. You need to visit this to experience it. One of the best Island in Europe.

I love Hvar, the sea, beaches, food, weather and even people are pretty good! To get real authentic meals you kind of have to look past the touristy area. Bol is also beautiful, the water in Hvar and Bol (and pretty much everywhere is gorgeous). Best to rent car and drive up and down the coast. Try out "Sail Week" trips! June-September. Very cool! see lots of different islands! Meets some cool people.

Really a nice and beautiful place to go!
Check the ferry options and schedules before deciding: they’re three companies available- prices differs depending on the time.transfer takes around 1 hour.
The city has a mixed of historical places, nice restaurants/bar and beach clubs.
Also some awesome landscapes if you move a little far from downtown and walk to peaceful beaches nearby.
Ca Bal — Google review
Beautiful island with so many interesting places to see. One can book a stay in the resorts here and enjoy the night life.
The view from the fort is breathtaking.
There is an emergency medical facility also available on this island. People here are too generous.
There are vast fields of lavender, ancient olive trees and vineyards, in immaculate harmony between man and nature.
There are wine and olives, so a guest wishing to get closer to nature will stop at a small inn (Hvar "konoba") rather than a top quality restaurant.
He will taste real home-made wine instead of some famous sparkling wine, he will sing the old island songs and forget the monotony of the everyday routine.
Every guest is really a Guest here.
Whatever you are looking for on your vacation, you may find it here; night life and cultural attractions of cosmopolitan Hvar town, boat excursions to Pakleni Islands, sandy beaches near Jelsa, the ancient town Stari Grad in which past centuries mingle with modern tourist facilities,
heavenly beaches under pine trees in Zavala, exotic atmosphere of south cliffs in Ivan Dolac, Sveta Nedjelja or MIlna, the "little Venice" ambient in Vrboska, drive trough and sense lavander fields near Zastrazisce, Gdinj and Bogomolje, peaceful secluded bays near Sucuraj ... this is just a fraction of it ... you need to explore it.
Due to its mild climate, the scent of lavender and other aromatic herbs which fills the air, the island of Hvar has been known as a health resort since 1868.
Besides health benefits and natural beauties, the city of Hvar is famous for its cultural heritage. The biggest main square in Dalmatia (an area of 4500m2), with many renaissance and baroque palaces, dominates the city which is surrounded by fortification walls dating from the 7th century.
Therefore, it is no wonder "The Traveller" has given the island of Hvar not only the flattering but also well deserved title of being one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in the world.

Great Waterfall, also known as Veliki Slap, is a stunning natural wonder located within a national park in Croatia. Standing at an impressive 78 meters tall, it is the highest waterfall in the country and offers breathtaking views. The surrounding area features picturesque picnicking spots and a viewing platform to take in the beauty of the cascading water. Visitors can also explore the Sastavci waterfalls, which create a dramatic scene as they appear to be an extension of Great Waterfall.
A gorgeous national park. The water is so beautiful and the falls are stunning. Really nice walking trails, well sign posted and the routes are well set up. It gets a bit busy at points but otherwise it's a lovely experience.

This Great Waterfall is indeed great and with 87m the highest in Croatia. There is a wide observation area in front of the waterfall which you can reach by foot via a wooden pathway. The shortest distance is from entrance 1 (north)
It's probably best to visit in spring or autumn when it's not so crowded and there is more water from rainfall

We were there in September, hoping for good weather but it wasn't the case, too bad.
The silver line being that the place wasn't overcrowded as it seems to be usually (at least according to the many reviews).
This is an impressive waterfall, great as its names indicates (close to 90m height) and definitely a highlight of this famous park.

Veliki Slap at Plitvice Lakes is a truly remarkable waterfall. Surprisingly, the best vantage point to admire its beauty is actually outside the national park. The view from this spot allows you to truly appreciate the grandeur of the waterfall. For an even more enchanting experience, I recommend visiting early in the morning before the crowds arrive. The tranquility and lack of rush enhance the magic of the place. Veliki Slap is a natural wonder that leaves you in awe, and with the right timing and perspective, it becomes an unforgettable memory that captures the essence of Plitvice Lakes' beauty.
The bed and breakfast B&B Lower Lakes offers guests a garden to relax in. This 4-star guest house features an onsite bar, as well as rooms with free WiFi and garden views.

For hikers, Plitvice Lakes National Park offers a variety of trails that wind through alpine forests and meadows, past sparkling lakes and waterfalls. The park also contains 16 freshwater lakes that are popular for rafting and kayaking. The park was the site of armed confrontation during Croatia's war of independence in the early 1990s, but has since been renovated as a source of economic wealth for the region. Today, visitors can explore hiking trails and enjoy beautiful natural scenery.
One of the most majestic places I have visited in my life, the winter landscape is beautiful, as well as the paths to walk for hours with a different landscape every 3 meters.
The waterfalls are incredible and it is a super good space to go with pets and be there for at least 3 or 4 hours touring the place.

Absolutely Stunning creation of Nature!! The hike is beautiful and offers wonderful views. The park has 2 entrances and both entrances have 4 routes to choose from. We entered from entrance 2 and did route H which is quite similar to route C from entrance 1, it is almost 9kms and requires 4 - 6 hours. In the peak season, a ticket costs 40 Euro for an adult and it’s better to buy tickets in advance. Ticket price includes the bus and boat ride.
Trail is well maintained and has clear directions as per routes. It was a bit crowded due to summer vacation, so try going as early as possible in the morning.
Wear comfortable shoes, hiking shoes are recommended though. Carry enough water and some snacks, though you can also buy inside the park.
Definitely worth a visit!!

A very very beautiful national park. Worth visiting.
Better to go early in the morning or afternoon to see the water color as aqua blue/green. By evening since the sun starts setting in the west, it won't reflect on water and may miss the beauty of this magical place.
Trek route C or H is best as it covers both lower and upper lakes. There are beautiful waterfalls in the upper lakes. It will take a minimum of 6 hrs to cover this route.

It had poured down rain all night and morning, so I delayed entering the park until late morning. The guide suggested which trails to take for a good half-day excursion. I really don't think you can go wrong. So beautiful!

From the desk where you buy tickets through the park and back to the souvenir shop - great experience. Kind staff, positive energy.
All accommodation that is in the park is exquisite and great for welcoming guests for years to come.
Nature is splendid and breathtaking. We have treasure that we must preserve.
I'm always happy to come back here.

I can imagine it gets crowded in the summer but on a rainy day in April is was empty, calm, misty and incredibly beautiful. The park itself is intelligently set up, with well-maintained paths and platforms that swirl in-between and right up to the waterfalls without clashing with the landscape. In fact, the park seems to be a model of how to organize such a site in ways which make it ecologically responsible, easily accessible for a lot of people, with well thought out branching paths, sufficient rest stops that are discreetly integrated in the setting and plenty of (silent) boats/shuttles.

It is a beautiful natural park. The views are just amazing! It has very colourful landscapes and lakes. It is definitely worth the visit and to spare a lot of time. Unfortunately I did not had the opportunity to camp for a longer time but now have seeing what I have there, I’d definitely think about staying more time in a next opportunity. I went as couple and during summer which is allegedly the best time to see the crystals on the water reflected by the sunlight.

Beautiful national park. There is a bus that goes directly from Zagreb to the park, it takes approximate 2hrs and 15 minutes . I strongly recommend to purchase the tickets online in advance. It is good to spend at least 6 hours walking around.

Wonderful park. We were lucky to find an amazing sunny weather after the heavy rain of the days before. I suggest to follow the H path from entrance 2. Come early in the morning (we enter at 9am) to fully enjoy the experience without annoying crowd.

Spectacular! The park and the lakes are the Moseley amazing lakes I've ever seen. The color is unreal, the waterfall are stunning. The park is crowded, even early in the morning but very organized. Attention that you also need to pay for parking separately.

Beautiful. There are several hike options but it can get very busy during the holiday season, even in early September. The trails are quite narrow and you could get held up if one person stops to take pictures.
The cafeterias within the National Park do not offer much choice, especially if you are a vegetarian.
Gopika Avanoor — Google review
I’d like to give this place 5 stars just based off its incredible beauty. But, the park has a bit of a bad design for being able to see it without being overcrowded, which the design and setup of the park causes. There’s basically one narrow boardwalk through the various levels of the lakes, which have no railing. So you really can’t stop anywhere and just take in the view or get pictures that aren’t horribly rushed. They also have a ferry system that appears to be badly overwhelmed with extremely long lines (we didn’t take it because of those lines). Other than that, this park is absolutely gorgeous. Crystal clear blue/green/turquoise waters everywhere. Many waterfalls and overflows and lush green trees. Just absolutely picturesque. But other than that boardwalk, there’s not really much else to see or do, no other trails or anything. There is also timed entry, so either purchase tickets beforehand, or be prepared to wait until the next time available. All in all, if you’re in Croatia, you should definitely go check out this park. Crowds notwithstanding, it’s still a pretty cool place and extremely beautiful.

This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been. We went here at winter time and the price for the entry was only 10 euro per person, kinds were free since they were 5 and 6. The beauty of the lake and waterfalls can not be described with words. We are looking forward to see it in all season.

I split the trip into two days - one day for the upper and one for the lower lakes. I highly recommend splitting it up. I also did the end of day and early day to avoid the crowds which was perfect. This is truly a magical place with just breathtaking scenery.
H. Rai — Google review
The most beautiful part is the first lake plus the overview of the waterfalls. The rest of the park is nice but for what it is, it's overpriced and overcrowded.
A lot of people are happy with just seeing the waterfalls so they could separate hikers from sightseers to fix some of the overcrowding.
David Oskarsson — Google review
This is one of those place that you must visit in Europe. The colour of lakes is just magical. You can choose 5 trails on different difficulty level and distance. You can go there with kids but I think that it could be dificult with stroller. On trails you can use a boat or buses (on some stages). There are a lot of stops with toilets and even fast food. On the stop next to the boats there is tap with a water that you can pour to bottle. From the cons: huge crowd. The amount of people is crazy there. The price - 40EUR per person - very expensive. Moreover you must pay for parking, too. It is not included in the ticket price to lakes. You must buy ticket in advance, tickets are sold for particular hours.

A must go if you're in Croatia. Pick the longest route, it's not a difficult stroll. There is a boat ride in the middle, but it is very smooth and relaxing. Experiencing the layers of this beautiful green-blue park is definitely and experience you won't forget. The longest route could take up to 6 hours, but if you're not taking your time you can easily complete it in 4 hours.

This place is absolutely breathtaking! You need good shoes if you want to enjoy the longest route (K). I really recommend to start early in the morning because the park is extra full after 11!

Loved my visit to this national park with its lakes, waterfalls and woodland hills.
Free parking at this time of the year (early march) for my motorhome. The facilities are great for coffee and food. There is a boat ride or you can walk, I took the boat but walked back. The sun was out so made the scenery extra special. The lakes and various waterfalls are impressive. There are nice pathways and clear signs. Everything was brilliant, highly recommend. I will be back.

A must visit paradise in Croatia and one could easily get lost for half a day to a couple of days depending on the interest. At least half a day in a rush to get a taste of paradise is a must.
There are 2 entrances with a good number of parking places which seemed not crowded during October maybe in season it could be packed. Entrance tickets and parking was way below what I expected for this gem of nature. During the season it is a different price but worth paying. I do not understand why some reviewers complain about the price when it is so much of a treasure.
Overall the park is well maintained with good hiking trails, clean restrooms and good cafes and restaurants.
The park can get crowded but as a sensible tourist one has to plan and not blame the crowds on the park. The boardwalks can be packed with tourists hanging to take pics and not respecting others, just be mindful of this crowd
We parked at the first entrance and did the long trail - K which includes the boat ride and option to take the shuttle back to the parking lot. The trail starts off at the lower lakes with views of the amazing waterfalls before heading through the various trails, boardwalks and then the upper lakes.
If time permits I would recommend adding another trail to enjoy more of the views.
Near entrance 1 there is a really good restaurant for an amazing lunch or dinner. The day we visited it was not crowded and we were able to enjoy a peaceful lunch.
Overall a must visit park for all seasons.
Pradeep Ponnuswamy — Google review
Most beautiful waterfalls I have seen anywhere. Absolutely stunning. We did the full loop over the lower and upper lakes and it was about 12 miles. It took us 5 or so hours total with a stop for lunch.
We did this in March so the crowds were easy to handle. Particularly away from the two different entrances.
Diego Salas — Google review
Magical place. Makes you stop in owe and wonder.
The trick is to visit in low season (we went in April) and arrive early (we took the first boat from entrance 2 @8.30 and were the only people on it!). Then as we walked there was almost no one there and so it felt as if we had the whole park to ourselves.
Marta Walters — Google review
The park is amazing. Well worth the trip even in the off season. We visited in late March and there was hardly anyone here. The park was really beautiful, even though the trees had not leafed out yet. We spent two days in the park and we were glad we had the second day.
Corey Reimer — Google review
Definitively over crowded (also in March) but a must-see when in Croatia! The upper lakes are more beautiful than the lower ones, so pay attention when they are accessible as they are closed in winter. Alltogether something for your bucket list like the Grand Canyon or the Eiffel Tower.

Nikola Tesla Memorial Centre
Museum
Historic Sites
Childhood home of the scientist & inventor, with a replica laboratory & multimedia exhibits.
Delightful little rest stop & memorial for someone who is arguably the world’s greatest inventor (the timeline exhibit here is a very informative summary of Tesla’s accomplishments and near-accomplishments). Serene natural setting. It’s a humble site, so don’t expect too many bells and whistles. But I think his story becomes that much more poignant when you see what simple surroundings he came from. Inspiring.
Ed Gradascevic — Google review
Very good, informative and creative museum of this genius man. I really liked all of the building where he lived, the amazing experiment of one of his inventions (shown every hour), the documentary and how it is exposed. The information places the life and inventions of Tesla in the history and other big events, it is done very good and interesting. Also there are drawers which give you insight in what Tesla said or others said about him, which helps you to understand him. I can really recommend this place for a visit about this wonderfull man, who dedicated his life to science!

It would really be a shame to spend a day in Lika without visiting the Memorial Center "Nikola Tesla" in Smiljan. You can easily spend (or rather earn) an hour or two, and it will be interesting for the kids as well. In the center, there is also an interesting children's playground, where many children had fun until the start of the documentary.
Winter working hours are short, so inform yourself before arriving.

Absolutely gorgeous, crystal clear water and amazing water falls. A must see.
Paklenica National Park, spanning 95 sq km of the Velebit Range in Croatia, is a protected mountain forest that attracts climbers and mountaineers with its two peaks exceeding 1,700m. The park boasts breathtaking scenery with deep gorges - Velika Paklenica and Mala Paklenica - cutting through the mountain range like giant hatchet marks.
A wonderful national park not far from Zadar (around 40 minutes by car). Comparing to the other national parks, Paklenica shines with a reasonable price and excellent views, along with a variety of hiking routes for beginners, advanced and "experts". The app allowed has pre marked routes that you can easily follow. We had a wonderful time at Paklenica and would definitely recommend it.

Perfect place for touristic hiking, light and also harder, several hats with buffets for stopover. Crystal clear water, impressive limestone rocks in the canyon and around, marvellous sceneries. Climbing fans find here also plentiful possibilities, and they indeed do. And it is open the whole year long! Good for coming with children too, also elderly people can find suitable pathways. Winnetou and Old Shatterhand on your mind here all the day long.

It was a wonderful hike although me and my boyfriend we didn’t even have proper hiking shoes, we enjoyed the smooth path and the embracing of nature.

Thunderstorms, low lying cloud and torrential rain on my visit to Paklenica but it was still an amazing experience. Walking solo on a first visit I kept to the main path up to the fascinating cave system and it was definitely worth the hike up. It’s a steep climb and a lot of stunning views from exposed positions but a number of families with young children were going up and down so it’s accessible. (Wet stones in the rain made the descent a bit harder).
The tour of the caves last about 20-30m but when I was there the tours were only run during the morning. The guides have to hike up themselves and then back. Cash only at the cafe entrance.
The water flowing down from the peaks is channelled to provide a natural water cooler to fill your bottles part way up and there are toilets and a small souvenir shop when you first enter the park.

Nice park to do some hiking. Make sure to take the second entrance coming from the highway. You have to pay entrance and then drive a bit further by car. We did the ABC route (a bit confusing initially since depending on which map all is called differently), it took us around 3 hours (they say 4 hours). It's an easy hike. Enjoy!

Great place for hiking. We took the A-B-C route from entrance 1 and it took us about 4-5 hours in total. There are other routes too (see attached).
Plenty of shade all over the route and couple of springs to drink refreshing water. It's not too steep but more like gradual increase in elevation. There is a hut and couple of restaurants at the end of route. For students there is discount in entry ticket price.

This one is a must do for everybody, who still remembers the old Winnetou and Old Shatterhand movies. Many scenes from those movies have been shot right here.
Put that aside and you still have a national park of enormous proportions, not quite for its sheer size but for its unique mountainous landscape that might not be found anywhere else in this world!
This place is a paradise for climbers and mountaineers, but every ambitious hiker will also get their money's worth, as this park has more than 200km of trails to offer, in all kinds of ruggedness, many of them barely suited well enough for mules. But every single turn on one of those serpentines will open up another picture frame that just blows one's mind.
That said you need time to explore even one of the preset routes, as they almost all are twisting up to one of the many high points in this area, leaving you with the task of covering up to almost a kilometer in height while loading your legs with many more of those in length. And every single step is worth it.
If you're lucky you might see wild mountain goats, as if the awesome landscape alone wasn't enough.
Youcn need a serious amount of fitness if you want to tackle one of the longer routes (you'll find many route suggestions on komoot for example...) and above all, really good shoes! This is, after all, a mountain range for real.
You'll also need to check the weather, because everything here is possible from serious thunderstorms to excruciating heat. The whole region of Dalmatia has a warm and mediterranean climate with lots and lots of sun hours (approx. 7hrs/day in average!) and when you get yourself up to one of these incredible peaks there's nothing left to cast any shadow, meaning you need to carry everything that might spend some protection from the sun with you.
If you're in for climbing you'll find a garden of preset routes of all kinds of difficulty levels here, just bring your equipment and your buddies along and get started!
If you want to show your kids how amazing climbing can be, you'll easily find routes for that too, as the lowest ranking grade I've seen was a 3. And there are plenty of those. And if you're up for a way bigger challenge then look no further as some of these routes are really asking for highly trained climbing skills.
So climbing or hiking: you can, and should, spend a whole day here and get back home with lots of memories you'll never forget. Coming here in summer one of those will certainly be the absolutely impressive sound of millions of cicadas...

Beautiful Nature from the start. First hill is filled with slippery rocks so be aware, but then it's continue with normal track with small and big rocks. Routes are poorly marked, so you don't really know how high are you or where, but there are some. But you can't lose of your track so don't worry. Bring bottles because there is drinkable water source and good shoes. It's really worth visit :)

A circular tourist attraction made of solar panels that displays a vibrant light show at night, The Greeting to the Sun is located on the Riva promenad in Venice. Designed by Nikola Bas c, this eccentric tourist attraction attracts tons of people every evening during summer.
This place is beautiful. You can see all the planets in our solar system in the form of solar planels on the ground. The sunset is all this is about. It is awesome but even better in summer. There is also the sea organ that sounds relaxing and definitely should be heard. The sound of nature! Overall it is a lovely place and i definitely recommend coming!

The Greeting to the Sun is a light installation designed by Croatian architect Nikola Bašić. The work has been there since 2008 and is charged by the sun during the day to provide the square with a light show at night.
The 22 diameter circle consists of 300 glass plates. These are placed in the boulevard so you can just walk over them. Under the glass plates are solar panels and LED where a light show is programmed.
The installation symbolizes communication with nature.
It is a very cool idea of large scale. Only I found the light show programmed into it a bit too chaotic. It could have been a little quieter for me but if you head there in the morning or late at night it would be quieter.
Very cool to see though and definitely a must see if you are in Zadar.

What a great vibe! Everyone having a good time, great energy, live performers and one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen.

Honestly it's worth the wait. This pops on at sundown every night, and lasts for an unknown amount of time. The batteries are solar charged, so the sunnier it's been the brighter and longer the show goes on.
Honestly it's a fantastic way to end a day. Be wary tho, you can step on this just fine but it is absolutely lethal terrain if it's wet.

This place is amazing. Unfortunately I could not catch the sunset because I was too tire sleeping but still check it out in the night. It’s on a low land near the sea. It’s not really big but quite normal. Lights up during the night and it’s not rhythmic but the lights changes colors and moves randomly.
You’ll often find kids playing and people drinking near by.
Good for photos and you see the city lighted up in the night from this place!

This is a wonderful visit in the night. It’s a monument in celebration of Sun. It consists of three hundred, multi-layered glass plates placed on the same level as the stone-paved waterfront. Beside the main (Sun) installation, looking from the west side are similar smaller installations representing the planets of the Solar System. The sizes are proportionate real size compared to the sun , but the distance are scaled down . Overall it would be an amazing visit in old town Zadar

Lovely spot for evenings. You’ll find yourself in a huge crowd of people, a mix of locals and tourists. I loved how people just waited patiently for the lights to come on, and almost nobody would step inside before that. It’s almost like a ritual. I thought that was awesome.

A really interesting part of zadar. The solar system display is an ingenious idea that gets people out of the main city and looking off the end of the port. After sunset the ‘sun’ ( a circular solar panel embedded into the ground) lights up in beautiful displays. Very nice place to walk and also a very good meeting point for tours or to meet up if lost.
The Land Gate in Zadar is a must-see attraction for visitors to the old town area. This iconic landmark, dating back to the 16th century, was constructed by the Venetians as part of the city's fortifications against potential invaders. The gate is adorned with intricate Dalmatian Renaissance-style decorations, including depictions of St. Crysogonus and the lion of St. Mark.
A nice bit of history very close to the sea.

Foša - The Land Gate, Ul. Među bedemima, 23000, Zadar, Croatia
The marina Paseo Maritimo is a bustling spot for tourists, though it remains a great place to stroll and capture memorable photographs. For those seeking something truly magical, coming at sunset is highly recommended. The charm of this location simply cannot be overstated – it's absolutely enchanting! Despite being crowded with visitors, it's still possible to enjoy the sights and sounds of this delightful area.
(Translated by Google) The promenade is a little crowded with tourists but you can walk and take photographs.
Come also at sunset and you will be enchanted.
It's just amazing and lovely!

La passeggiata è un po' affollata di turisti ma ci si può camminare e fare fotografie.
Venite anche al tramonto e rimarrete incantati.
È semplicemente fantastico ed incantevole!

(Translated by Google) We got to see the Zadar sunset, as it could not be otherwise, and then we took a night walk through the city, so we saw the promenade by car and on foot. There are numerous boats docked and if you go to the sea organ and sun salutation area, the walk is better, because there are people having a drink, listening to music, talking, walking, doing sports...
There is good atmosphere. What is difficult is finding trash cans: they only have them in an area with a stone floor, but not near the organ... In addition, there are stairs for people who want to go down to bathe.

Llegamos a ver el atardecer de Zadar, como no podía ser de otra forma, y luego dimos un paseo nocturno por la ciudad, por lo que vimos el paseo marítimo en coche y andando. Hay numerosos barcos atracados y si vas a la zona del órgano marino y del saludo al sol, el paseo es mejor, porque hay gente tomando algo, escuchando música, hablando, paseando, haciendo deporte...
Hay buen ambiente. Lo que es complicado es encontrar papeleras: las tienen solo en una zona con el suelo con piedras, pero no cerca del órgano... Además, hay escaleras para la gente que quiera bajar a bañarse.
Beach Slanica is the main beach of Murter, a popular vacation island known for its breathtaking beauty and shallow sandy shores, making it a hit with families. The turquoise blue sea is stunning and perfect for swimming. Located on the southern side of the island, it offers various amenities and entertainment programs. Despite being less crowded due to current circumstances, it remains an ideal spot for families with kids as well as older visitors.
Gravel and sand beach! Best in preseason when it’s not too crowded. Many bars around beach.

Nice sandy beach with lot of beach bars and restorants,but if you prefer more quiet place with less people, this is not the right place for you,because it's always crowded
Lucia — Google review
Small beach with pebbles, the place was beyond full.
We had a great time staying on the side of the beach, there are flat rocks that allow for sun bathing.
Water is clean right off the rocks and many fish can be seen.

Ein kleiner Küstenabschnitt
In der Nähe von Camping und ferienhütten. Wunderbar zum rein gehen nur am Strand steinig im Wasser angenehmer Sand Glas klar. Strand sollte besser gereinigt werden sehr schade wir die Menschen mit so einem schönen Fleckchen Erde umgehen direkt kleiner Imbiss und Restaurants. Die wasserrutsche war in in Betrieb.Da er sehr klein ist doch sehr voll obwohl noch keine Hochsaison ist. Viele deutsche. uns hat es sehr gefallen Top.

A small stretch of coast
Close to camping and holiday cabins. Wonderful to go in only on the beach, rocky in the water, pleasant sand, glass clear. The beach should be cleaned better, it's a shame that people treat such a beautiful piece of earth directly by small snack bars and restaurants. The water slide was in operation. Since it is very small, it is very crowded even though it is not yet high season. Many Germans. We really liked it.

Hatte mich so gefreut auf diesen Strand. Kenne ihn nur von Videos und Bildern. Bin leider sowas von enttäuscht worden. Der Strandabschnitt ist leider in Wahrheit nicht so schön. Das Wasser ist auch schmutzig. Vermutlich durch die großen Jachten die dort Ankern. Schade das sich niemand von der Gemeinde drum kümmert. Da geht's warscheinlich nur ums Geld machen.

I was so looking forward to this beach. I only know him from videos and pictures. Unfortunately I was so disappointed. Unfortunately, the beach section is actually not that nice. The water is dirty too. Probably because of the large yachts that are anchored there. It's a shame that no one from the community cares about it. It's probably just about making money.

Crowded in first week of September? Of course 😅 But the clearest water I've experienced in Murter 👍 You can find some shade on side under pine trees, which is great.

The shore is stones, but in the water is sand. The shore is shallow, perfect for children's games. We didn't visit cafes. There were a lot of people, but we found a place to sit. Nice place.

Da wir bei unseren Aufenthalten immer das beach hopping bevorzugen, führte es uns aus dem 40 Km entfernten Sveti Fillip i Jakov hier her. Natürlich war dies zu 100% ein Volltreffer. Flaches Wasser, z.T. auch mit Sand, was es zum spielen für die Kids angenehmer macht. Zudem gibt es auch noch eine separate Wasserrutsche . Öffentliche Toiletten und Restaurants, Bars und Massagebereiche sind auch vorhanden.
Man hat zwar gemerkt das der Strand gefüllt war, aber nicht überfüllt, da es meiner Ansicht nach nur die Touristen aus der direkten Umgebung genutzt haben.
Wir kommen bei unserem nächsten Besuch gern wieder.
Update aus 2023.
Die Bucht ist nach wie vor sehr schön. Einige schreiben das es hier überfüllt ist, vergessen jedoch dass sie selber ein Teil des Massentourismus sind und wenn jeder ein Stück Abfall mehr aufhebt als dass er mitgebracht hat, reinigt sich der Strand von ganz allein 🤗

Since we always prefer beach hopping during our stays, we came here from Sveti Fillip i Jakov, which is 40 km away. Of course, this was 100% a hit. Shallow water, some with sand, which makes it more pleasant for the kids to play. There is also a separate water slide. Public toilets and restaurants, bars and massage areas are also available.
You could tell that the beach was full, but not overcrowded, as in my opinion only tourists from the immediate area used it.
We would be happy to come back on our next visit.
Update from 2023.
The bay is still very beautiful. Some write that it is overcrowded here, but forget that they are part of mass tourism and if everyone picks up one more piece of rubbish than they brought with them, the beach cleans itself 🤗
Emanuel Richter — Google review
Well, actual season is a little bit specific (you probably know that it is covid-19 time), so not so many people on the beach. But, the beach is great, especially for families with small kids. But also bigger one will enjoy it here. There is everything you need on the beach.
Martin Routner — Google review
One of the most beautiful beaches that I have seen. The colors of the see like in a movie. It is great for kids too, cause the see is not so deep on the beginning.

Beautiful shallow sandy beach, clear water, with bars and restaurants nearby. I loved it here, but it was quiet when I was there. Probably the best beach I discovered during my stay.

Nice beach. Not overcrowded (at least was not 3-13 July 19). Water not the nicest, since it's more or less a small bay. Depends where exactly you stay on the beach. Decent service in terms of food, drinks, sport activities. Below average prices in Croatia in general. No "adrenaline" activities really available.

Nice location, with restaurants, public toilet and 50kn/day parking. There are both sandy and rocky seasides here. Lot of fishes in the water. Also lot of shaded place under the trees
József Horváth — Google review
Also aufgrund des schwärmen der anderen einfach mal ausprobiert. Und sehr enteucht direkt als erstes wird man fürs parken zur Kasse gebeten ca. 6€ pro Tag das ist ja noch erträglich aber dann kommst ihr bezahlt dort für alles für duschen für die Toilette für Liegen für die Rutsche. Und dann ist dieser Strand nicht für derartige Menschenmassen gedacht bade tuch liegt an bade tuch. Und dann noch nicht mal eine aufsichtsperson jeder ist auf sich alleine gestellt wenn was passiert.
Wenn man sich jetzt die ganzen Dinge mal wegdenken würde wären es 4 Sterne der 5 Stern gäbe es nicht da kein Sandstrand.
(Translated by Google)
So because of the raves from others, I just tried it out. And very disappointing. First of all, you are asked to pay for parking, about €6 per day, which is still tolerable, but then you have to pay for everything: showers, the toilet, loungers, and the slide. And then this beach is not intended for such crowds. There is a bath towel on the beach. And then there isn't even a supervisor - everyone is on their own if something happens.
If you were to think about all these things, it would be 4 stars and 5 stars if it weren't for the lack of a sandy beach.
Huge fortress. The outer walls are mostly still intact while the inner court is in some parts preserved as a ruin. Several exhibition galleries with a few artifacts from various time periods on site.
Igor Bertoncelj — Google review
There nothing super amazing. The view is really nice though. The museum and the exhibition are not important either. Ticket is 30kn/person and they do not accept cards. There is free parking outside of the entrance.

Great view, could walk freely (ticket stand not open), no staff. Parking very near to the main gate if you don't have the time to walk. Has some steep stairs, so maybe not suited for those who can't handle that.

The Knin Fortress is an absolute must if in the area. The size of it is unmatched. Nestled on a hill overlooking the city and Dinara, Croatias tallest mountain. I somehow entered for free. No one was at the ticket booth when I visited on a Monday afternoon in February. So I just walked around. It's undergoing extensive renovations in just about the entire place, so be prepared for construction material. The best part are the views offered overlooking the city and nature. Can park relatively close, but its somewhat difficult to turn around. Otherwise it's about a 15 minute walk up the somewhat steep street.

Great fort with awesome views of the surroundings! The fort is being renovated, but still worth the 6 euro entry. Make sure to catch the room with the history of the Serbian War on Croatia. Enlightening! At the end of the tour, grab a beer at the restaurant and soak in the history!

Nice place with an interesting history. I don't recommend to visit it during the summer though otherwise you will be dying like we were 😄 I can imagine it would be much more pleasant in autumn or winter. We paid 6€ per adult (no student tickets). You can park your car right under the fortress for free.

Nestled atop the rugged cliffs like a proud sentinel of history, Knin Fortress stands as a testament to the passage of time and the resilience of Croats. Imagine stepping into a time machine that transports you to the medieval ages, where the air is thick with tales of valiant knights, daring sieges, and whispered secrets. The moment you ascend the ancient stone steps and lay your eyes on the panoramic view that unfurls before you, it's as if the mountains and valleys themselves have decided to reveal their splendor only to those who venture to this enchanting fortress.
The sight that greets you is nothing short of breathtaking – a magnificent tapestry of emerald valleys, cradled by majestic mountains, as far as the eye can see. With every breeze, the tales of centuries past seem to come alive, resonating with the heartbeat of generations that have walked these very paths. The stones beneath your feet hold stories of bravery and camaraderie, as they witnessed both the triumphs and tribulations of a bygone era.
But Knin Fortress is not just a relic of the past; it's a living, breathing testament to the resilience of a community that has weathered storms and emerged stronger. Its recent history intertwines with a celebration that echoes through the ages – the Day of Victory over Serbian and Yugoslav Army. As you stand within the fortress walls, you can almost hear the echoes of jubilation as the city reclaimed its freedom. The spirit of the true fighters who liberated the city is palpable, a reminder that history isn't merely confined to textbooks – it's etched into the very stones around you.
And yet, even as we celebrate this victory, it's a stark reminder that not all battles are confined to the pages of history. The stance of government officials barring true fighters from entering the city they liberated is a testament to the complexities of our times. It's a call to remember that honoring our veterans and their sacrifices isn't just about words; it's about actions that reflect the spirit of gratitude we hold in our hearts.
Speaking of veterans, let's raise a glass to the brave souls who have stood unwaveringly for the ideals they hold dear. Their valor and sacrifice continue to inspire us, reminding us that the true heroes are not just those in capes, but those who stand tall in the face of adversity for a cause greater than themselves.
And when you're ready to step away from the historical echoes and embrace the beauty of nature, nearby gems like Krka Waterfall beckon with open arms. The symphony of rushing waters, the lush greenery, and the vibrant energy of the falls offer a stark contrast to the fortress's stoic grandeur. It's a reminder that even within the most ancient of landscapes, life flourishes and evolves.
So, as you stand at the Knin Fortress, let your spirit soak in the stories, the victories, and the resilience that have shaped this land. And as you venture forth, remember that every step you take is a continuation of the legacy that began here – a legacy of strength, unity, and the unwavering spirit of humanity.

This is one of the best fortress museums I've been to on our 7 years fulltime travel. Sadly not all the museums were open although I had the place to myself and I wasn't charged. This is a kids' and historian's paradise. I thorough enjoyed my visit which was a complete surprise.
Karen Davies — Google review
Though currently undergoing renovation in places you can still walk the entire circuit of the fortress. Be prepared to step over some exposed cabling or pipes to do so. Well worth taking the time to explore including the museums on site. Fine views across the countryside, just ignore the rail yards near the station!
Krka National Park is a nature reserve with walking trails, riverboat trips, monastic and castle ruins, and stunning waterfalls that define the landscape of the area. The waterfalls in Krka River are a karstic phenomenon created by river water carving out a canyon through limestone hills over millennia. Besides this remarkable natural sight, there are also several artificial sights within the park that are worth exploring. The park offers boat rides to visitors and has food and drink options available as well.
Totally worth the excursion. The waterfalls are an easy hike as well as all the other parts. Note that there are some stairs but all or most of the trail is paved. They have a museum of how people lived in this area hundreds of years ago. Amazing breathtaking views. Bring water and your camera. Please respect the no swimming rules as the area is trying to conserve its natural beauty.

Such a beautiful place to visit! We had all day in this park. The weather was not too hot so we were happy. You should bring comfortable shoes and clothes for this trip. Also a bag with water and some food. But if you want to buy, you can do it, because there is coffees and shops. Also it is good to have walking sticks if you use them, but without them it is also comfortable. Water view is just amazing and so calming.
There is toilets but the are not free. And the food and coffee prices is normal so don’t worry about that. We only found one place were we can swimm a bit in cooling water.
We saw a lot of fish, 4 small snakes in the water and on the roads:)

Nice 2km walk -starting at Lozovac- through a beautiful scenery that certainly is worth visiting. During summer time it is busy so don’t expect too many ‘private pictures’.

Pakleni Otoci is an idyllic island located in Croatia. It is home to crystal-clear water and lush green forests, making it a perfect place to relax and spend time with friends. The island's many attractions include beautiful blue water caves, a wide variety of wildlife, and stunning beaches. There are also plenty of activities available on the island such as swimming, hiking, and kayaking.
We had a great onward speed boat ride (Blue Shark company). The blue water caves were wonderful. The return boat ride was too bumpy and the skipper would not reduce speed hoping it would make the ride enjoyable

The Path to Spanish Fortress is a lovely path that leads up to the Spanish fortress. The location is perfect and easy to find, and it's also easy to walk up the steep hill. The view from the top is worth it, and it's also a great place for a picnic.
If you plan to visita spanish fortress, please do it by walking the path. Views are incredible

Very nice path. The location is perfect and easy to find. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes because the way up is a bit steep.

Very nice view of Hvar, highly recommended.

Very nice concrete path up to the Spanish fortress with great views of Hvar port. Easy for kids to do - although not recommended for a post-swimming walk if yours are easily tired. 🙃 It’s in direct sun on late afternoon.

Ul. Higijeničkog Društva 25, 21450, Hvar, Croatia
I'll never travel to Dubrovnik without this trip planner again
Vidova Gora, the highest point on the Adriatic Islands at 778m, offers breathtaking views of Hvar island as well as Vis and the mountains of Peljesac Peninsula and Biokovo. The peak can be accessed either by a sealed road through a pine forest or by hiking/biking from Bol. While it may require some physical exertion to reach its summit, the stunning landscapes make it worth an effort in both cases.
If you go to the island of Brac, visiting Vidova Gora is a must. The road leading there is charming in itself, but the view from the summit is particularly breathtaking. Just imagine: hundreds of meters below you. Below your feet lies Bol and Zlatni Rat, with the unique sight of the island of Hvar in the background.
If you enjoy driving, the serpentine road starting from Nerezisca is especially enjoyable. Along the way, there is a parking lot and a junction leading to the Blaca Monastery. If you plan to descend, especially with children, bring water and food with you!

One of the main reasons we chose to visit Brač was to spend the good part of a day climbing Vidova Gora.
It’s the highest point in the Adriatic and while it’s only 2,552 ft. Its 2,599 ft. prominence (height relative to the rest of the terrain) affords some remarkable views of Zlatni Rat, Bol, Hvar, and so much of the Adriatic Sea.
We hiked directly from our hotel (Lifestyle Vitar) to the top and back for a 6.5 mile loop. We’re both pretty seasoned hikers but this definitely wasn’t the simplest of vacation hikes.
Totally doable but bring a decent bit of water for the summer months and wear sturdy footwear/take your time coming down as there’s a lot of loose gravel.
Really beautiful views from halfway up and you’re hiking along with pasture goats which was a unique experience.
If you’re not into the hike, you’re able to drive up decently close to the summit and walk from there.
Picnic tables at the top to enjoy a meal and take a breather. Highly recommended and one of our favorite parts of our trip to Croatia.

An absolute must while on the island. When you get to where it tells you that you have arrived, you can park and get photos, walk, and get a drink/snack. You can also continue to drive up or walk to other viewing points and so worth the visit. Its incredible

One of the most beautiful places on the Dalmatian coast: the views are simply stunning, as you get to grasp Bol, all the Dalmatian islands from the Bays of Hvar to Korcula, Peljesac, Vis, Bisevo, Lastovo and even Mljet on a clear day while also having the background of the Biokovo mountains to the East. They say that you can see Italy on a very clear day but coming there every year for 30 years I havent been able to do so, so maybe this is more of a myth.
Hints: While the view from the parking grounds are stunning in itself it is worth walking up a few minutes to the antenna station as you get views to Vis and the Western part of Hvar as well.
The walk from Bol is fine on a cool day but you might feel frustrated when you arrive at a parking lot after walking for hours.
Go on a clear day! The best days are when a little Bora wind is blowing and clearing up the haze. On hazy days you might just be able to see Bol and parts of Hvar. Go in the early morning or evening for nice lighting.
The restaurant on top has been closed for a while but as of September 2019 there is a friendly little kiosk with drinks at the parking lot.
The road from the main road is quite narrow but there is ample space to evade crossing cars. It is easily doable for every type of car. Just dont drive too fast and enjoy the beautiful forrest all around.

The pace is gorgeous. It has beautiful flora, huge forest and it is the highest point on Brač and even the highest point among Croatian islands. You must visit the place and enjoy the peace and beauty of this magnificant nature. At the top the site is beautiful and magnificant. It has a wide view to the see and the islands. See you there.

We had a nice cycling-trip from pastura to the top of the mountain and enjoyed the beautiful landscapes and the impressive view very much...even it was hard to "climb the peak using a bicycle and just our "own" power...
Matthias Fichtner — Google review
This peak was one of the major reasons why we choose to take the car with the ferry, as it is quite a long and steep drive to the peak. We saw people cycling, but surely they were suffering a lot.
The views are phenomenal, and you can clearly see Bol from here and its insanely clean water.
There is a shop where you can buy ice cream or drinks from.
Definitely include this when in Brac!

Absolutely amazing, a must-see when on Brač. Beautiful views of the mainland, Hvar Island, and of course, the Bol's famous beach The Golden Horn...
KK — Google review
The views during the climb up were beautiful, but my arachnophobia did not allow me to continue the way up and we had to go back. I do not recommend a trip in the early evening when the spiders are active. I knew they would be somewhere, but I didn't expect to have a two-meter web with a huge spider above my head. I think these views would frighten even the fearless.

Well this hotel is disappointing for me. The first reason is, we took it for a jacuzzi and the water was cold. I asked to fix that, they did but didn't tell me how. Next morning again cold water. so for us jacuzzi was useless. The room was big clean nice but it smelled like sewage. At first I thought it might be from the bathroom, but no. the whole room smelled very bad. the sound insulation is very bad. the first night I couldn't sleep because of the music from below and the second night we heard the neighbors in a very unpleasant act. Service was good. Breakfast was good and the location perfect but I do not have wish to be back.and this is not a resort. We went on the third day to the next resort for the same price for all inclusive and much more.
Ivka — Google review
Horrible..
We chose this hotel because of its location, here the advantages of it end..
It is a 3 star hotel, I understand that, but it doesn't mean that it can be filthy. Ripped sheets, dirt in the bathroom, shower drain is stuck, air conditioner is noisy as many comments below say.
I was ashamed because I brought my family for their vacation there. So we had two rooms. And this is for the price they ask.
Barbara Kristie — Google review
Great location and great rooms. I think they were just updated so everything was fresh and clean. Service was ok parking is a bit of a mess having to call then drive down a walking path and pay extra 20€. Dinner was great and service was ok. Gin station with fresh cookies was a nice touch. Cleaning lady was awesome and insisted on changing our towels. We liked that walking path forward Bol had many options to stop in for drinks and food and beach was awesome. Not hotel fault but it’s way too commercialized.

Visited the beach restaurant as a group of 5. The pasta and fries were good, so was the presentation. They could be more generous with the amount of carbonara, not gonna lie.
Everything else on the menu was obviously frozen food. Definitely avoid the burgers though, unless you like SPAM for your “meat”patty and dry bread to soak up the massive amount of oil.
David Barczi — Google review
Very disappointing, other than the good location of the hotel near the beach. I'll give you a brief review.
When entering the hotel, when going by car, you have to call the receptionist of a 4-star hotel to open the gate for you. The receptionist does not pick up the phone though so you do have to walk yourself to the hotel and then back to the gate (Half a km). The same goes for departure.
Another problem when going by car is that you have to pay for the parking - 20 euros per day.
You will be given one key - which can be taken by only one person...
The apartments are indeed good looking, fresh but damp for some reason.
The clearing service - rude.
Breakfast - everything cold: chicken nuggets/ fries and pizza (for breakfast?? probably left over from the day before).
The hotel includes a restaurant. Terrible food! With the new owner of the hotel, the food has become gross. The meals that we ordered, many times, were given fully back, and our money was spent rather at a different place. The prices are very high - so why such a bad quality?
A 4-star hotel should have it's swimming pool. We were upset when we were disgustingly kicked out, without being informed, that It was a private pool - a couple of years ago the same swimming pool was a part of the hotel.
...and all of this for such a high price?
Simona Vrlová — Google review
Service, location and breakfast are great!
The breakfast has vegetarian and vegan options like almond milk and fresh fruit.
The hotel is not a resort as the title says. It is a room you rent to stay close to the beach. Nothing else. We stayed 1 night and parked the car in the private hotel parking. By check out we found out we needed to pay the parking (€20) even when you are a guest of the hotel?? We already stayed in a lot of resorts around the world and never did we have to pay an hotel parking. Very dissapointed about this so called resort with no services of a resort.

This is a very nice hotel, I am giving a good review because of the location, cleanliness and the friendly staff. Everyone from the reception desk, housekeeping to the waiters was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The gorgeous beach is a minute away and everything is nearby / within walking distance. There is a nice alley perfect for a walk to the city right below the hotel. I highly recommend this place and will definitely stay again.
Aida B. — Google review
DO NOT STAY IN THIS HOTEL - THE WORST HOTEL EVER! We booked through Booking and in the end they charged us a much higher price. The people at the front desk could not speak English well so they could not explain the situation to us. The breakfast was terrible, the restaurant smelled bad. The presentation of the food looked bad and very few options. The hotel restaurant is right next to a public pedestrian street so it is very busy, that’s the only street that takes you to the beach. The only view the hotel has of the Zlatni Rat is poor because of the trees and it is the same view that anyone passing through the pedestrian street can see. The only positive thing is that the rooms are new, although when we entered they had a welcome fruit bowl full of ants.
Susana Moreno — Google review
Great location and that's about it. The bed mattresses and pillows are very poor quality, probably the cheapest type.
AC blowing right towards the beds which is not very comfortable.
The breakfast is not in line with the prices the hotel is charging for the night 331 eur; poor food choices and food quality same as in a ordinary cheap hotel.
Known for its scenery, this pebble beach with pine trees & clear water draws many visitors.
Amazing beach with natural tree shadow. Make sure to arrive before 10, since the good spots are quickly occupied. Its great for snorkeling. The parking is too expensive, in my opinion, but you can park above if you arrive earlier.

Probably, if I had a tent or a sleeping bag, I would stay here overnight. To fall asleep and wake up to the music of the waves. This is an insanely romantic place) While I was taking photos and videos, couples in love did not want to leave these cozy caves by the water, and continued to admire the sunset, despite the coming autumn chill. Residents of Brela, you are incredibly lucky with your wonderful beach, take care of it)

Lots of natural shade. Beach is very accessible and well maintained.
You got a parking that leads you to the beach, you can pay by day or by hour.
We have spent a day there and we had a wonderful time.
It is a standard gravel beach, i suggest wearing water shoes.
Mario Petrovic — Google review
The beach is spectacular and really-really beautiful. Its a nice pebble beach, the water deepens fast. Good place for snoorkering, near the famous rock there are lot of fish to see. If you are not staying here prepare to come early and pay a lot for parking (if you manage to find one) We’ve arrived at 9am and found probably one of the last parking spaces. Parking price in the bottom-near the beach is 20kn/hour, we stayed 9 hours and payed 180kn. No max price, pretty expensive. There is a parking lot a bit more up, there you can park for 100kn/day. Its around 4-5 mins extra walk, if we would visit again I would definitely park there. Other then that the place is superb! Also if you come early you can secure a great spot, it’ll get crowded around 10-11am. There are 3-4 places to eat, so thats pretty good. Also you can rent a jetski/sup if you would like.

1 star down for overcrowded beaches (main season) and -1 star because of cleanlyness. Someone should keep an eye over litter bins and "uneducated" tourists.

Famous beach in HR. Could be overcrowded and it may be hard to find parking place if you arrive late at the day. 08.2022 -we payd 130 HRK for all day parking, but the you don't need to pay for an umbrella, because the trees are close to the beach and you could stay below them.

THIS is a proper Dalmatian beach, as they once were, before folks started tearing down the trees and clearing them out. Full of pine trees, the smell is fantastic, the beach is gorgeous, with pebbles and clear water. I wish all beaches in Croatia were like this one. Kudos to the local community for keeping it as such!
Tucepi Beach, located along the Makarska Riviera, is a popular spot for tourists seeking outdoor activities and a true Dalmatian experience. Stretching 2.5 miles along the coastline, this stunning beach offers sparkling waters and breathtaking sunset views. Visitors can enjoy swimming in the calm sea or partake in various water sports and excursions. The beach also features natural shade from pine trees and has amenities such as cafes and a designated area for furry friends to enjoy.
Tucepi beach it truly beautiful. It sparkles on sunny days and has a stunning glow as the sun sets.
The clear sea is gorgeous and calm to swim in. We enjoyed sitting on the shore and swimming in the sea.
We enjoyed the walk past day or night.
It's a great little beach with lots of watersports and excursions going on! So you can relax or find something adventurous to do!
Just a tip- if you have your own sea shoes, BRING THEM! The stones are very painful on your feet. But if you don't own any, don't worry, the shops along the promenade all sell them!

Croatia Divers offers an amazing experience with a great crew. The instructor, James, was praised for his ability to meet divers at their level and help them progress at their own pace. He specifically helped one diver improve buoyancy and confidence in the water. Sophie was also commended for her helpfulness both in the shop and during dives. Although not directly worked with, Elaina was described as a quiet and steady anchor to the crew.
I've had the pleasure of being 4 days with you when my 11 year old son was taking his diving course. As a resilience coach and Rock and Water trainer I can only say that you are worth more than Five stars. The way you guide people, give confidence, positively motivate, encourage, share and convey your passion for diving,... is simply fantastic. Thank you Bobby, James, nick, Anastasia, Ono, Elise and the rest of the team.

Both the team and the place are great !
Bobby, who runs the place, is very friendly and competent, and so are the other members of the team !
My partner and I came as beginners for an Open Water Course. We were at first alone with an instructor, then in a small group of four, each with our own issues and fears : Nick was very reassuring and always took time to help us individually.
This course takes place entirely on the beach just 5m from the center, which is both very convenient and funnier than in a swimming-pool, for we could already watch starfishes, flocks of damselfishes and many others while learning the basics.
The feeling was so good with the team that we changed our plans to go on for two more days with the Advanced Open Water Course : 5 amazing dives, always in small groups, with the same instructor. I particularly recommend the Blue Hole and the Vranine Wall !
Drawing fishes underwater was quite an experience too.
We came in as complete beginners and 5 days later, we were confidently diving in open water at 20m !
Thank you again for this amazing time <3
PS : the antiCOVID measures reassured us a lot

Awesome experience. Great crew.
James was my instructor for my AOWD. I hadn’t been in the water in 9 months and he was great at meeting me where I was and helping me move forward at my pace. I wanted to work on my buoyancy specifically and he helped me trim 4 kilos from my belt and get confident and comfortable with my movement.
Sophie is champion. Seems to do all of the little things around the shop and on the boat. And really helped me in the water. Walked me through underwater navigation step by step and gave me some confidence that I didn’t have coming in.
I didn’t get to work directly with Elaina. But I wish I had. She seems like a quiet and steady anchor to a great crew.
Loved Bobby’s crew and shop. Loved the town. Would highly recommend to anybody that wants to unplug, exhale, learn a ton, and have fun doing it.

Don't let the outdated website deceive you - this is a great and well equipped dive center with friendly international staff. They focus on safety and are willing to work individually with each customer. We walked in, did a refresher off the shore for our 12YO and a couple of days of local diving from their rib. As a well-travelled diving instructor I was trully impressed with how professionally this operation is managed. Now - let's be honest - If you are used to coral gardens of the Red Sea or the underwater diversity of SE Asia, diving in Korcula is not going to impress you much., Yet - If you do decide to dive here - definetly go with this guys!

The Korcula Town Museum is a small 16th-century Renaissance palace which showcases exhibits on the history and culture of Korcula. The museum features an impressive collection of amphoras, photographs from the 1930s and 1950s, and other historical artifacts that have been arranged in chronological order. Visitors can explore the rich history of Korcula for a modest entrance fee of only 20kn.
Really good and modern museum occupying 5 floors. EUR6 entrance fee. The basement has the oldest pieces, and it gets more modern history as you climb up. Also a good toilet in the basement, which is handy! I particularly liked the helmet from the 5th or 6th century BC.

Korcula Town Museum is located across the St. Marc Cathedral. The Museum is housed in Gabrieli's palace, built in the 15th and 16th centuries but newly renovated. It consists of 4 floors and shows how life on the island looked before.
I would definitely recommend this place so you can understand the history of Korcula better. My favorite parts of the museum are the 3rd and 4th floor but the other two floors are no less attractive.

The Mostar Old Bridge Viewpoint offers stunning views of the city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Incredibly, the bridge was rebuilt in the 1990s following its bombardment during the civil war. Numerous cafes and restaurants line the bridge's banks, making it an ideal spot to spend a few hours enjoying the sights and sounds of Mostar.
The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River, developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries. Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most, after which it is named. In the 1990s conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The Old Bridge area, with its pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse cultural, ethnic and religious communities.

Kravica Waterfall National Reserve is a popular attraction with stunning waterfalls and nearby amenities. There is an entrance fee, but it's worth the cost to spend time sunbathing, enjoying a picnic or sitting in a cafe. The area has rocky coastlines and swift water currents, so special shoes are recommended for swimming. Visitors can take great walks and capture picturesque photos of the breathtaking scenery.
Paid entrance.
But the park is worth the money.
It is better to spend more time here, sunbathe, sit in a cafe or have a picnic. But be careful, the water speed is high and the coast is rocky, take special shoes with you if you plan to swim.
Great place for walking and picturesque photos.

We visited these waterfalls now in July 2022. I can say that the place is more beautiful than in photos. The entrance can be payed by credit card. When arriving near the waterfalls we payed for the boat trip (60 euros for 4 persons). It is worth the money. It is 50 minutes and you can enjoy the landscape, the birds, the fishes and the specific plants that grow there. I recommend to everyone this place.

This is the most beautiful waterfall I've ever been too. It was so refreshing on a hot sunny day to get the lovely mist from the waterfall. The drinks available here were nice too.
Darian Thomson — Google review
The place is amazing. It is fantastic to be allowed to take a bath there, and there are many routes and paths. There is also a turistic train, you can rent sunbeds and towels, there are restaurants and bars, so the place is completely for tourists, beautiful, but crowded even in September as the temperature is about 34 degrees.

Breathtaking waterfalls and clear waters. Warmer months take a dip in the glorious water.
Decent stairs to get to a nice lil type beach area, with a clear parking lot making it easy to visit as well.

Pretty awesome place. The views are very nice. Its a good place to stop while on a road trip or just passing by. Its a good place for families to go. Kids under 18 enter free! Its 10 euros for adults to enter. There are a few restaurants next to the waterfall.

Boasting a stunning view that attracts crowds, this location is perfect for family visits. A mere 5-10 minute downhill walk will lead you there, and the path is quite accessible for both elders and young children. Despite temperatures reaching up to 33 degrees, the water remains delightfully crisp. For those seeking a refreshing dip, it's absolutely perfect!
Boat rentals are conveniently available, providing an exciting opportunity to get up close with the waterfalls. A selection of bars ensures you can quench your thirst, while comfortably lounging on beach chairs. Moreover, restrooms are available, adding to the overall convenience.
Whether you're seeking a bit of adventure or simply a place to relax, this location has a lot to offer. You'll certainly appreciate the natural beauty and well-thought-out amenities.

We visited the waterfall on a day tour from Split and highly recommend doing so of you're either in Split or Dubrovnik and it's really time well spent! Compared to other waterfalls or national parks in Croatia here you can actually swim in the water which is a great plus. The waterfalls are beautiful and a must see. Would come back for sure!
Matteo Tomassetti — Google review
A place worth visiting if in the area. The tickets were 10.30 euro per person, we have payed by a card. The toilets are located just after the tickets office. Parking is spacious and free.
You can admire the beautiful waterfalls while laying down on the bathing beach, so it's worth staying there for a few hours. There are a few places to eat, but you can only pay with cash so be prepared. Word of advice, if you're tempted to buy alcohol from the guy mid way to the waterfalls - don't. The same products are at least 5 e cheaper by the parking.

The waterfalls are nice but it costs 10 euros and the toilets are absolutely disgusting. No toilet paper, smells like urine. There was nowhere to get food or drinks. What exactly did the money go to?

Very beautiful destination. I recommend visiting here after 18:00 because there is no entry fee (I don't recall the correct time). Getting here by car is simple. There are a lot of parking lots and parking is completely free. Make sure that you do not leave any trash behind. Always take your trash to nearest rubbish bin and recycle if possible.

Great views and amazing water. There are lots of restaurants here so you can stay all day and eat. The entrench costs 10 euro per person. The only minus is that there are a lot of people, bur if you are ever near by you must visit.

The place looks like in old dinosaur times. Is an awesome place to visit, eat, drink, and take a swim in clear cold watters. The waterfall is a spectacular view to enjoy for hours. You can take a 50min boat ride to the small waterfall and back. I recommend the place for relaxation and nice view.

Small multi waterfalls in the old Roman road. You can swim in it too. Reportedly the water was very cold. You had to walk down from the parking lot perhaps 100 meters because it is in a valley in Bosnia Herzegovina.The walk is convenient and delightful.

Wow has this place improved and got a life in the past 10 years. We were there when they only had 1 little hut thing to get drinks and you could still just off the cliffs near the falls. More restaurants now, but the cliffs and close to them has been closed off, so no longer possible. Amazing clean and fresh water!

Stunning waterfalls a short walk (down approx 100-200 steps) from the car park. It's filled with tourists, but this didn't diminish the experience. There are bars all around the edge of the waterfall plunge pool but they are relatively well priced. A very enjoyable freshwater swim will take you right up close to the bottom of the falls. On the far side from you where you come in there is a sandy shallow area where you can paddle. Well worth a visit. 10 eur entry pp, parking free.
John Dargie — Google review
Beautiful place :-) Down at the waterfall is a flat river where u can swim (it is cold and a bit fast so be careful!). The view is beuatiful and the sounds of waterfalls are out of world.
There is a parking nearby, then you walk for 10 minutes downhill by foot and youre at the waterfalls.

Easy walk down to the waterfall. The parking was free but the entrance was about 10 euros. They don't take euro. Only local currency and card. There is a free bathroom right behind the ticket building. I came in early March. It was very flooded and nothing was open. No tourists though!

MOST EXPENSIVE WATERFALL IN MY LIFE!!
There was nothing inside on December. At least it must be %50 or free on winter times. We were the only people who were visiting here. And we paid because we came all the way to here. But pictures were good thats why not giving 1 star.

Blagaj Tekke is a historic Sufi monastery located on the cliffs by the water, featuring a mausoleum and an old Turkish bath. Built in 1520 by the Ottomans as a dervish lodge, it offers a wonderful area to explore while in Bosnia. Visitors can pay a small fee to tour the inside of the monastery or take a short walk up an opposite path for a beautiful view of the shaded area.
Awesome natural and mosque, 10km entry ticket, very peaceful and historic.
Angelia Lee — Google review
It’s a special monastery in Bosnia. But if want to see the scenery as picture that don’t need to buy ticket. Just through bridge and restaurant then can arrive. Should spend around half hour to enjoy this stunning view.
Charlotte — Google review
We were lucky to get a parking nearest to the allowed walking area to reach the monastery. We decided not to enter as there was a large crowd waiting for admission.
Blagaj is, in my opinion too touristic to my liking. the eateries along the river were full of people. The place is quite picturesque though.
We ended up taking photos of the Dervish House from the outside, from other side of the river.
绚 喻Xuanyi — Google review
It's only 10 marks, but it's really not worth it. The best views are from the area on the other side of the river. Took only a few minutes to see the entire building.
Even if it was free, I'm not sure I'd walk through it. Save the time, cross the river. It's prettier from the outside.
Eric Scott — Google review
This is an incredible place. When you come, you can pray and take its healing water. We couldn't take our eyes off this place that smells of history. It is a bit far from Mostar, but you can reach it by taxi. I think it must be seen.

This is a monastery build for the Dervish. There isn't particularly much to see inside. I was more so enjoying the views from the outside. So if you want to save $10, just enjoy the beautiful scenic views from the outside 👍

Beautiful tranquil setting. Hubby and I came here for lunch after the strenuous hike up to the Stari Grad. Restaurant food was actually surprisingly good (from past experience normally picturesque places have expensive unimpressive food). As long as you are aware of the tour buses of people, it's an amazing place to visit.
Yao Wang — Google review
Wonderful little area to visit while in Bosnia. It's a short walk, you can either pay a small fee and visit the inside of the monastery or you can walk up a short path on the opposite side and see a beautiful view, very shaded area. I didn't visit the cafes, but there are lovely places to enjoy a meal or refreshments while admiring the beautiful view. We were able to park nearby for about 2 marks. There are vendors on the walk towards the monastery. It's a nice stop if you're in the area.

beautiful place, quite ambience, the sound of the river is very relaxing and calming. I love it, 10 marks to enter the Dervish House, I just saw the photos, dont think its worth it unless you are rich

It's very touristy, but for a good reason. The Dervish House is beautiful, on the inside as well as the outside. It's recommended to have a guide to explain all the details on the inside of the Dervish House. You need to take of your shoes and wear a head scarf (if you're woman), since it is a religious building. The nature surrounding the building is beautiful.
Lisa van Oort — Google review
We came here at 10:00, before the opening of the restaurant. There were no people, and we could enjoy the views in silence. Drones are not allowed here (airport area and strong wind). Enter to house costs 10 euro.
The monastery itself was built in 1520 by the Dervish. The monastery was considered as a place of spiritual retreat and reflection.
That place is easily reached by bus or car from Mostar. The monastery is located along the river at the base of the cliffs, just a few minutes walking distance east of the Blagaj bus stop.

Drove 20 minutes to reach this spot, while we had an entrance fee of 10/- KM per person, we expected something to see inside that building. They only have the last building at the back to see inside. To be honest, it doesn’t worth it. You are better off just taking photos from the other side of the water stream for the whole building area
…
👍🏽 calm and by the water
👍🏽lovely scenery specially at early morning or late afternoon
👍🏽restaurants are near by
👍🏽lovely birds sounds at golden hours
👍🏽river steam out of cave

👎 expensive admission and barely anything to see at the dervish house
👎parkings are super limited specially if you are driving your own/rental car
👎insects are dominating the area

This is one of the unique places in Bosnia. A islamic dervish established this place. He was called Sari Saltuk and he was famous all around Balkans. This place is breath taking, just amazing. Spring water rises from a cave.. Crystal clear water. In the restaurants they serve the fish caught in the river flowing just there. The fish i ate there was delicious. The building just in the bottom of huge rock.. The scene is magnificient. Just enjoy the natura here and hear voices of birds and water.. relaxing..

This is a perfect stop for lunch a few miles away from Mostar. Parking is a bit of trouble or you have to be ready for a walk. Once on the site you can take a boat tour or just walk the surroundings and take in the beauty if the place. Have lunch in one of the spots next to the river.
Mljet is a picturesque island covered in forests and boasts of beautiful beaches, caves, and national parkland that invites hikers to explore. The national park occupies a vast area of 5400 hectares on the western end of the island, offering shaded walking and cycling tracks, stunning coastal views, ancient ruins, and saltwater lakes. The two main villages of Pomena and Polace are bustling with tourists during summer days but remain tranquil after boat departures.
Such a beautiful island, the lakes are like paradise and the restaurants and bars are lovely - couldn’t recommend it more
Emily Lillywhite — Google review
If you are a nature appreciator, you will love it here. Everywhere you look you will see beauty. If you love loud, bad music and pop your collar, you will be bored in 2 hours. This is island is sleepy. Def not a party place.
I came to the island from Dubrovnik. Take the kilro ferry to pomena, mljet. Rent a room at Odisej Mljet( bonus plug to them for serving vegan food)
The park is a short walk from the hotel. It’s like 20 USD/Euro to get in. Lovely trails, nice and gravely. Gorgeous, turquoise water that you can swim in. So lovely. You can rent bikes if you wish. You can take a boat (runs every 20 mins) to St. Mary on the islet of St. Mary. Long story short, it’s a historical church on an island. There is a cute little restaurant in the park where you can stop for an espresso or meal and admire the lake.
I really enjoyed this park, its maintained and it’s very well marked. No chance to get lost. Only thing that was disappointing is that there weren’t many birds or wildlife as far I could tell. In all fairness , I was there all three days in the afternoon when the sun was blazing. And Birds don’t like heat. Maybe there would be more action in the morning. Anyways. I loved this park very much. Incredibly safe for a solo, vegan , female ,nature lover.

Nr. 1 favourite place in whole Croatia. An island in the adriatic where there is a lake, with another island on it, giving a location to an old church and a nice restaurant. It is a little bit like Bled lake in Slovenia, but with salty water. :) It is a real beauty of nature, could spend there a whole week.

Beautiful place, with no easy access, but maybe this is an advantage, because it is not so crowded.
The nature is stunning. Why not 5 stars? We did not like one of the city - Sobra with the worst omelette that I have ever eaten in my life😅
Pomena is much better! At first, we planned to stay at the hotel (only one in the island, but the hotel looks like from the eightiesand is very expensive - over 120 e per night, definitely not worth). We found an amazing room at SALEMA Apartaments in Pomea. I do not remember the address, but close to the entrance to the national park. The host is fab and the place - simple, extremely clean and with all u need. Value for money. 😀

We visited Pomena which is a small village on the island of Mljet in Croatia that is so quaint and charming you may never want to leave.
It is still one of those hidden gems, but in recent years has seen a bit more development to make it very easy to stay, whilst still being somewhere that feels hidden from the world.
The nature surrounding it and the national park make Mljet perfect for nature lovers and hikers. Daily walks are a must.

Beautiful island : if you like hiking, swimming in transparent waters, piece and quiet, sunsets, beaches or even fishing... this is the place for you.
Stalwart stone wall popular for countryside views & access to a quaint town, castle & church.
Great little hike up the hill. 8 euros is a bit pricey if you ask me but the view is definitely worth it. If you're reasonably fit you'll make it in 25 minutes with a few hydration breaks.

I hope you like steps because there is plenty of them here!
There is two trails.. the left which is the steeper of the two but this is closed and by the condition of the scaffolding it’s been closed for a lot of years and will continue to be closed for many years to come. The right is not as steep and you can walk along it no problem.
You can’t walk up to the top of the hill as the path hasn’t been completed/repaired and I highly doubt it ever will.
I found this all a bit boring if I’m honest. Nice views is the only positive I can think of.

Nicole Wang — Google review
Wish there was a bit more information about the entrance. We parked in one of the entrance parking spots but it seemed closed. It turned out later that someone was at the closed gate but I guess they didn't just see us. Thankfully we did find the second entrance further away.
There are 2 routes but neither go to the top. One of them goes from the inside, looking over the city and at the end you can continue on the longer trail but that just goes on the side of the mountain to the other side. It was a bit dissapointing that we couldn't go to the very top.
Price is around 10€ per person but they don't accept euros and it's written that they accept cash and credit cards but they told us that they don't accept credit cards either.
The view was nice though and got a good workout from it as it was pretty intensive for the legs

Not as famous as other Croatian attractions but definitely worth seeing.I personally recommend Route from Ston to Mali Ston. Very picturesque!
But be aware! Climbing up the wall is quite demanding especially in high season when temperatures exceed 40°C. Make sure to take water and a head cover! Otherwise go in the evening or early morning:)

Absolutely an incredible experience!! The walls are the largest one in the world, just after the one in China . You can take three different entrance and make 2 different walks . The one who brings you from stone to Mali stone is very challenging. It has a very steep stairs within a narrow corridor , so make sure to do with proper shoes and be very patience. Overall it’s absolutely WORTH IT!! Not to mention the view how is outstanding!! Highly recommended!!!
Francesco Ricci — Google review
Very very cool experience. The wall walk is pretty grueling, especially in the summer heat. To go up and over to Mali Stone via the walls, then walk back via the road is likely going to take you 2 hrs with photo stops and water breaks. Take water as there is none along the way, and don't worry, once you get to the top of the Ston side, it's much much easier from there. Absolutely worth the effort though! Beware of old mate at the ticket office who told me it's cash only, but once I told him I had no cash he magically produced a POS terminal 🙄

You get fabulous views of the old town from its walls ,and if you are a Game Of Thrones fan then all the better for you .We are and we loved spotting some of the film locations .
Some of the steps are pretty steep ,so let's be careful up there ,people .
There are a few pit stops along the way for refreshments, just don't get too refreshed .
Some fabulous sunsets are on offer if you are lucky enough to catch one .
Buy a one day Dubrovnik pass which will get you entry to the wall and a few of the museums in the old town as well as public transport for 24 hours. Not a bad purchase as wall entry price is the same price.
So if in Dubrovnik it's a must ,you won't regret it .

One of the best,naturally most beautiful thing I had seen in Croatia. Riding through the crystal clear blue waters, visiting the 3 islands was no less than magic. Islands were all close to one another, the ride was spectacular, exploring these islands, through forest trails, taking a dip wherever possible, this was one heck of an adventure. This has to be on everyone’s bucket list when in Croatia

Sipan, Lopid and Kolocep are together called Elaphite Islands. The clear blue waters and private beaches make them the most desirable places in Croatia.
Beach Sunj is a small and secluded sandy beach located on the opposite side of the island from the port. It can be reached by a 25-30 minute walk or a quick 3-4 minute golf buggy ride. The beach offers low-key restaurants and rentals for lounge chairs and umbrellas. The shallow waters make it perfect for swimming, especially for kids, and it's an ideal spot to relax with beautiful views.
Beautiful Sandy beach 🏖
It was a great day, swimming and relaxing with the perfect views and setting
Monica Kamel — Google review
What an amazing beach, super beautiful and calm waters.
The sun lounge chairs and umbrellas are well priced.
The water is extreme shallow for a reasonable distance so really great for young children and people who can't swim.
There is a certain distance from the beach where the water does drop much deep but it's a distant wade to get there.
Do note - the beach is accessed either but tracking through the centre of the island between 20-30 minutes (reasonable incline) walk or 5 minute electric buggy ride (3.00€ per person). Others will access the beach via boat (but the boat does not dock so you do have to wade to shore.)
Marcus Williams — Google review
Still worth the visit if you’re on the island but the beach is not well kept. The water is lovely and bar is fully stocked so some elements are enjoyable. Just take the golf cart taxi if you need, it’s 25/30 mins hilly walk otherwise - paid €3 pp in cash
Morris Swaby Ebanks — Google review
This beach is fantastic! 50 kuna for a du bed, people working are pleasant. It's a 25 minute walk across the Island, or 20 kuna per person for a golf cart ride. I recommend walking there then taking the golf cart back - the walk makes the beer that much more satisfying ;) Sandy beach which is not that easy to find in Croatia. The water is shallow pretty der out so good for kids or those who want to just sit in the water on a hit day. Highly recommend if you can make it to the island!
Bryan L. — Google review
Beautiful beach and shallow sea, lovely and warm though the sand was so hot, I was just surprised it hadn't melted into glass!!
If it's not too hot and you have the time, a walk from the harbour would be lovely. In the heat, the golf cart is well worth it.
Still mainly cash (sunbed, loungers, parasols, etc.) so be prepared - though the bar there takes card.

Visited early April, so the beginning of the tourist season. The bars weren’t open yet which was understandable, however the beach was littered with trash which was disappointing. You can easily reach the beach by taking a golf cart taxi which cost us 3€ per person

We were very disappointed when we arrived at the 'best beach in Croatia'. Maybe it was because it was April but it was very dirty and lots of debris scattered on the beach which made it feel a bit rough. It was also a tiny bay which i can imagine being packed in summer. Felt quite touristy and cheap. Beautiful views from the bay but definitely not even close to the best beach in Croatia!

Gorgeous beach, took a short golf cart ride to get here for a couple of kuna and it was definitely worth it. Unfortunately you have to pay for sunbeds, which is a shame. However the water was lovely and crystal clear which was great for swimming. There were quite a few people here but it wasn't too busy, I think the distance between here and the main town definitely helps this. Highly recommend coming to this beach if you visit the island as it's stunning.
Amber Wilkes — Google review
🌟🌟🌟🌟: My reccomendation- Very nice -Sandy Beach is definitely worth a visit. It can be reached on foot or by taxi for a small fee. The additional charge for sunbeds and an umbrella (30 EUR) may surprise you a bit, and the fact that no receipt is provided for this raises questions about tax payments. The water and sandy base are ideal for children. I recommend visiting at least once! My recommendations
Valdido Muller — Google review
A great, sandy beach. The water is super shallow and safe to enjoy but difficult to swim in for more advanced swimmers. You will love the beach bar and the experience of taking a golf cart taxi to the beach. Also, the path to the beach gives you some of the best views on the island— defiantly worth a walk instead of a ride.

Fabulous sandy beach with super friendly people. Showers, changing facilities, sunbeds umbrellas and bars/restaurants - all you need for a perfect day out. Jump on a buggy and be driven here from the harbour. Signed Path to the buggies is about half way along the harbour, head up about 10 mins walk and be driven over to the beach for 3 Euros (cash only) both ways☺️🏖️

"Sunj Beach on Lopud Island is a true paradise that captures the heart with its golden sands and turquoise waters. Widely hailed as the best sand beach in Croatia, Sunj offers an idyllic escape that's straight out of a dream.
As you step onto the soft, powdery sands of Sunj Beach, you're greeted by a sensation of pure bliss. The fine grains underfoot, the gentle lapping of the waves, and the panoramic views of the sea create an ambiance that's both serene and invigorating.
The highlight of Sunj Beach lies in its natural beauty and the sense of space it provides. Unlike many other beaches, Sunj's expansive shoreline offers plenty of room to spread out, relax, and revel in the natural surroundings. Whether you're lounging under the sun, building sandcastles, or taking a leisurely swim, there's a sense of freedom and relaxation that permeates the air.
The shallow, clear waters of Sunj Beach are perfect for both families and solo travelers seeking a refreshing dip. The tranquil sea is an invitation to indulge in leisurely swims or simply wade along the shoreline, enjoying the soothing embrace of the Adriatic.

Nice beach with shallow water and protected swim area. Quite a few tour boats anchor here during the day and all seem to arrive at the same time. There is a small charge to rent chairs on the beach. The water is clear and seems clean. There are also a couple of restaurants at the beach.
Be sure to bring sandals if coming from a boat. The sand is HOT in the summer months.

Overly commercialised beach, very sad as this a very nice place but it has been ruined by the number of food shacks layed out on the beach and the number of boats mooring close to the beach. No worth the visit, and if you decide to use the golf cart for a ride or eat there, it's ridiculously expensive.€9 for a pancake.....unbelievable
