pebbly beaches and amazing parks to the mind-blowing historical sites I hope the
time that we spent here will give you some insight of why you should visit
welcome to our 9 must do's in Croatia
[Music]
number nine Marjan Park in the city of Split this park covers the peninsula to
the west of the historic core often called the lungs of the city it is full
of lush trees and has great viewpoints and paths to enjoy you can hike to the
top of the hill rent bikes to ride the pathways and enjoy the parks and rocky
beaches with crystal blue water plan to spend a few hours here as it is a big
park number eight is the beautiful pebble and sandy beaches of Croatia
there are so many beaches all along the coast of the Adriatic Sea just pick one
you can't go wrong most of the beaches aren't that busy and the water is warm
and crystal-clear it's just like lake water but it's the sea number 7 Klis
fortress this fortress is situated above the village of Klis near Split Croatia
this stronghold was built by the ancient Illyrian tribe Dalmatae for many
Croatian kings it was also used as a set in the game of Thrones the entrance fee
was reasonably priced definitely worth it just for the spectacular views of
Split alone great fun for the whole family
number six staying at an Airbnb not only will you most likely save money over a
hotel you will immerse yourself in the Croatian culture plus you'll have more
space and the hosts have local knowledge of places to see restaurants to eat at
and things to do one examples our place in Dubrovnik had a Samoyed dog which
greeted us every day to cheer us up and our host was gracious enough to take our
children out for a boat ride how awesome is that number 5 visiting Krka National
Park which is situated along the Krka River in southern Croatia it's known
for a series of seven cascading waterfalls this park will be very busy
but it's worth just to see the stunning waterfalls Krka National Park is
about a 45 minute drive north of split
number four the town of Omis situated at the mouth of the Cetina river backed by
walls and mountains overlooking the Dalmatian coast it's a sight to be seen
home to legendary pirates who raided the trade ships passing by then retreated to
Omis to their well-guarded hideouts these hideouts consisted of two towers
which are very well preserved and a great outing for the whole family afterwards
you can retreat to the beautiful pebble beaches below number three exploring
diocletian's palace this palace is one of the best preserved monuments of the
Roman Empire it was built for the Roman Emperor Diocletian at the turn of the
4th century AD which today forms about half the town of Split we spent around
half a day exploring the foundation bell tower crypt and we are just in awe of it
all if you're afraid of heights or claustrophobic we wouldn't recommend
climbing the bell tower
number two hiking Plitvice Lakes National Park located in central Croatia
it is known for its chain of sixteen terraced lakes joined by over 90
waterfalls visiting the park is at least a one-day activity if not more be
cautious on the time of year you decide to visit as it will most likely be
overrun by thousands of tourists in peak season we were lucky when we went in
October it felt like we had the whole park to ourselves although it was a bit
chilly there is a ferry which takes you to the first set of trails and then just
a lot of scenic hiking through lush trails with waterfalls lakes and creeks
everywhere number 1 old town in Dubrovnik this is one of the most
interesting sights to see in Croatia it is entirely surrounded by fortress walls
built in the 14th and 15th centuries to protect from invasion these walls
overlook the Adriatic Sea and are referred to as the China wall of Europe
you'll be blown away by the history and architecture to the point where you feel
like you've travelled back in time don't forget to see it from the top of
the mountain overlooking Dubrovnik you can drive, hike or take the cable car
up be aware that old town will be an expensive adventure as prices for almost
everything is close to triple the cost of anywhere else in Dubrovnik
