After winding roads through vineyards, hilltop towns steeped in history, truffle-scented meals, and crystalline coastlines, our Istria adventure has come to its final chapter, and there’s no better place to close this sun-soaked story than Rovinj. Nestled on the western coast of the Istrian Peninsula, Rovinj feels like it was painted into existence. With its pastel buildings clinging to a...

I will continue with my summer images from the island Brac in Croatia. Recently I showed you the town of Nerezisca, and in today’s post I will share some sights from Supetar, which is the main city of the island. With a population of around three thousand people, it is the island’s largest town. It is accessible by ferry from...

When I first set out on this journey, I knew it would be something special. The vastness of the American Southwest, the iconic places I had dreamt of visiting for years, and the freedom of the open road all called to me. I loved writing about my journey in the previous extensive posts. In today’s post I want to recap...

Nestled on the northwestern tip of the Istrian Peninsula, Umag is a coastal gem that quietly reveals its charm to those willing to stroll its streets, wander its harbor, and linger beneath its dusky skies. On my recent visit, I found myself captivated by a town that gracefully blends layers of history, Adriatic beauty, and laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle. From ancient...

Istria, Croatia’s heart-shaped peninsula tucked into the northwestern corner of the country, is a land where rolling hills meet the sea, and medieval villages perch like timeless sentinels above vineyards and olive groves. It’s a place where past and present exist in harmony, where Roman ruins lie beneath cobbled lanes, and the scent of truffle and lavender fills the air....

Lumbarda is a small fishermen’s village located on the eastern end of the Island of Korcula, few kilometres away from the same named town of Korcula, in Croatia. A road passing through a picturesque area of pine woods and olive groves connects these two places. The village is surrounded by sandy vineyards. Sandy beaches like Vela Przina, Bilin Zal and...

Here comes a little story about an even smaller town. We are located inland on the island Brac in Croatia and the twown in question is Nerezisca. In the past, Nerezisca was the capital of the island. Nowadays that’s the town of Supetar. But before, Nerezisca as the capital was founded inside the island, not on its coast, because of...

As you may remember I visited Graz in March and posted a nightly stroll through the city. During our recent stay in Austria in May I got the chance to see the city again. This time more extensively and during the day. These images show the main square of the city and the streets that lead ti it. The pedestrian...

My mom always wanted to visit the Northern part of the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. That region is called Istria and is very close to Italy. In fact, when you travel through these parts, in moments, you feel like you are in Italy. We wanted to make a huge road trip, but had to cut our trip short this time....

During my recent visit to Korcula island, I finally found some time to explore the island a bit further. This time I wanted to explore Vela Luka, the second biggest town of the island. The harbor town is situated in a long, narrow bay, where the two mountains Spilinski rat and Humic protect the harbor town from cold winds and...
