Sources ‘n’ waterfalls

Peace and quiet during the summer season? Yes, it is possible! The only thing you need is to know the right person to take you there. Sources & waterfalls are the most inaccessible, the purest and the most beautiful destinations. You will be thrilled, and amazed with peace and quiet, and the beauty cannot be expressed with words or photos even though a picture may be worth a thousand words… It is a must-visit, sit, touch, pour water from the spring and simply feel the chill. Visiting source ’n’ waterfalls we will also visit the mausoleum of Ivan Meštrović in Otavice and tombstones by Sv. Spas Church (Church of Holy Salvation).

Trogir

 

There are a lot of hidden stories about the Old city walls of Trogir only the locals know. For instance, upon entering the southern entrance to Ćipiko Palace you can see an inscription: “NOSCE TE IPSUM“ (in Greek: “gnothi seauthon“), which means: Realize yourself! It was the main aspiration of Bogomils, who had lived there till the massacre arranged by the Vatican in the 13th century. If you want to hear more interesting stories join us on our tour.

Krka Skradinski & Roški falls

After witnessing the natural beauties, panoramic view of the Krka river and rocks on the way to the Visovac Island and the Čikola canyon, there is a stop you must not miss – a genuine Ante’s Konoba (Tavern). (We will get back to experience at Ante’s). Domestic place where you enjoy the traditional food: brandy (cherry, walnut, herbal, natural), ’pršut’ (prosciutto ham smoked and dried in the bora wind – cold dry northern wind), home-made cheese, home-grown tomatoes and home-brewed red vine. All made with heart. The atmosphere is so nice that an elderly lady once asked me this: ‘Do you see those people from Zagreb over there in the corner?’ – ‘Yes.’ – ‘Well, they’ve been sitting there since morning.

Split Klis & amphitheater

Without a doubt, if you are going to visit Diocletian Palace cellars, you should do it in a guided tour (with an official guide) because travel books and other gadgets are just not the same, so you will end up wasting your money. The cellars have remained authentic all throughout the history and they witness the culture of the East and the West Roman Empire. The thermaes, Trinclinium, the four gates, Vestibule, a place where a ‘klapa’ (Dalmatian harmony-singing group) of the same name (Vestibule) sings creating an almost forgotten atmosphere, Peristil, a square surrounded by numerous pillars. Those constructions are 1,700 years old. There are plenty of places to eat in the town, but the best one is, by far, Marjan Tavern (Konoba Marjan). Even those who have seen Naples, well, they should better wait with dying before they taste ‘pašticada’ there. The tavern is located in Šperun Street, behind St. Francis Church, (Crkva sv. Frane), at the end of Riva. If you prefer a more stylish place on the waterfront, there is Atlantida tavern near Fife tavern. The former has great staff, excellent food and highly clean toilets and the kitchen. The latter one boasts of its reputation and has been recommended by Lonely Planet. There is a mini snack bar in Bosanska Street with fine food selection, beside a pizzetta (mini-pizza) there are sweet pies, vegetable pies etc. (Viška pogača, Poljički soparnik…) At ‘Pazar’ (Market) one can buy amazing and cheap delicacies: home-made soft cheese (kajmak), sheep cheese, home-made pies, blueberry syrup (does anyone still make it???) At ‘Peškarija’ (The fish market) one can find anchovies in oil and capers too. Beside The fish market, there is a physiotherapeutic bath made in art-nouveau, Jugendstil. In between is Marmont Street and on the other side is Prokurative square, of the same style, which is a copy of Piazza San Marco.

About me …

 

Dear explorers!

My name is Vedran and I can show you many very interesting places in Croatia. I myself have been exploring a lot and I find it a life-style. I was born in Trogir, Croatia and that is where I live. It’s a town that, due to its treasures, could be compared only with Venice. The whole town is under UNESCO protection. Being a tourist guide was my dream even before the war in Croatia (1991-1995) and I received the license in the year 2007. I am a member of the Tourist Guides Association in Trogir and associated member of UHPA (Association of Croatian Travel Agencies). I’ve got a 9-passenger-minivan for independent excursions, so I can offer a full package. My great wish is to show amazing and unknown places for all adventure seekers. I adore finding hidden pearls and I keep finding new ones, so … You are all invited!
