The red roofs of Dubrovnik

Today I wanted to show a couple of pictures of the old town of Dubrovnik. This unique town is the most famous destination to tourists visiting Croatia. Surrounded with its walls and towers the dense collection of buildings with red roofs gives a special impression of the town seen from above.

Tucepi harbour

The small town Tucepi in Croatia is situated on the Makarska Riviera not far from Makarska. All though the towns on the Riviera is best known for their long beaches, most of them have a harbour. The pictures below show the harbour in Tucepi which is found in the southeastern part of the bay (see a map of Tucepi)


Most boats are used for recreational fishing but there are also a couple of purse seiners in the harbour.

Most of the boats are small and used by the locals. Most of them are equipped with lights used to attract squid (calamari) when fishing in the evening/night. If you are visiting Croatia in late summer or fall you will see the lights from the boats on the sea.

See more Tucepi pictures.

Video from Krka National Park

I seached youtube for videos from Krka National Park in Croatia. On my last post I showed some pictures, but a video gives another impression. A lot of films of Krka are found on youtube, but I found one I liked better than the rest.

This video does not only show the waterfalls but also what the river traditionally ment for the locals. In addition we also get cuts showing fish swimming in the river. It seams that a snake is trying to catch small fish (?) but with no luck.

The waterfall near Skradin and the island with the monastery are also on the video. Here are more Krka pictures.

The bridges to Trogir

The old city of Trogir is situated on a small islet only a few meters from the main land. When you walk around in Trogir you will probably cross one of the bridges shown in this post. Below you can see some photos of the bridges and the canal separating Trogir and the main land.

Some people says that Italy has got Venezia and Croatia has got Trogir. Water is all around.

Makarska from a distance

This is the first post on this blog, and I would like to start with some pictures of one of my favourite areas; the Makarska Riviera. The center, and the biggest town, on the Riviera is (as the name says) Makarska. The pictures shown here is taken from a distance and they show how this beautiful town appear in the landscape.

The picture above is taken from the sea from a small boat we hired in Podgora.
Above we see Makarska bay as it appear from the southwest. Below we see the part of the harbour from where tourists can enjoy a trip on the Adriatic Sea and discover the beautiful towns along the Makarska Riviera. I could have cropped the pictures, but I love the grey mountains in this part of Croatia.
