Fishing boats in Rogoznica

Rogoznica in Croatia has a long tradition as a village for fishermen. Two weeks ago I visited Rogoznica which now is dominated by yachts and sailboats in the beautiful marina. Some fishing boats were still to be seen and below you can see one of them. In the bacground you can see the famous Marina Frapa (see Rogoznica on a map).


The next picture shows a traditional fishing boat and the beach in the background. Tourism has become more important than fishing, but at the restaurants you can enjoy fresh seafood caught by local fishermen.

A Croatian purse seiner

I was looking at some of the pictures I took in Croatia in 2007 and found a nice shot taken from the western part of Tucepi. From a pier I saw the Adriatic Ocean while the sun dived into some skies in the west. A purce seiner was heading south - probably leaving Makarska.


I had seen some fishing boats in Makarska (picture below) the day before, and this purse seiner may be one of them.

A part of Seget Vranjica

Just a few kilometers west of Trogir you will find Seget Vranjica. This village has its own harbour and beaches. The picture below is taken in the eastern part of the harbour and it gives a wiev to the western part and the beach (seen to the left).
Situated only a few kilometers from Trogir and Split airport this area is getting more and more popular for those who want to experience Croatian culture and still be close to the sea.

Tucepi by night

Tucepi is found on the Makarska riviera and it is one of several small towns on this beautiful part of the Croatian coastline. The picture seen below was taken two weeks ago (in May).

At this time of the year the temperatures are comfortable but you may have days with cloudy weather and rain.

The picture shows the sunset in Tucepi with the pebbled beach and the pine trees in the foreground.
