• Unexpected Harmony in Dubrovnik: A Northern Croatian A Cappella Moment

    In a city known for its history, it was the music that caught us by surprise.

    View Full Post
    Just outside the stunning Sponza Palace in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, we happened upon an a cappella group performing in full traditional costume. Their music — and their look — came from northern Croatia, according to our tour guide, offering a glimpse into another region’s culture right in the heart of the coast. It may have...

  • Croatia Curiosities – The Winds of Dalmatia

    In coastal Croatia, the wind doesn’t just blow — it tells stories.

    View Full Post
    During a tour in Dalmatia, we learned something we hadn’t expected: the winds have names — and personalities. Maestral is the welcome one. A summer breeze that rolls in from the sea most afternoons, cooling things down and making everything feel a little lighter. Bura is fierce. It blows from the mountains to the sea,...

  • Ćevapi at Kantun Paulina – Split’s Street Food Staple

    Just a five-minute walk from our apartment — and totally worth it.

    View Full Post
    We had ćevapi for supper one night in Split — partly because we were hungry, partly because Kantun Paulina was less than a five-minute walk from where we were staying. And honestly? It hit the spot. Ćevapi are small, grilled sausages made from a blend of meats, served in warm somun flatbread with chopped raw...

  • Croatia Curiosities – Time Still Rings Here

    In Croatia’s coastal towns, timekeeping isn’t about minutes — it’s about rhythm.

    View Full Post
    In towns like Trogir, Dubrovnik, and Split, time isn’t just tracked — it’s lived. Church bells ring on the hour (and sometimes just before or after), echoing through the narrow streets. It’s a gentle reminder that you're not on a schedule — you're in a rhythm. We climbed the bell tower in Trogir and stood...

    Honey might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Croatian souvenirs — but after tasting a few, I made...

    View Full Post
    All across Croatia, especially in coastal towns and island markets, you’ll find locally produced honey tucked into souvenir shops, on market tables, or offered at tastings. And if you're lucky, they'll let you sample a few. We had the chance to learn more about honey production during a visit to @opgkomparak on Korčula, a local...

  • Croatia Curiosities: Secret Doors to the Sea

    Tucked into Dubrovnik’s stone walls are doorways to something unexpected — the cliffs, the sea, and a completely different view of the city.

    View Full Post
    There’s something magical about discovering a place that wasn’t on your map. In Dubrovnik, that happens more than once, especially if you start paying attention to the old city walls. On a walking tour, our guide led us through an unmarked stone doorway. No signs. Just a narrow passage, and then suddenly: a quiet bar...

  • Croatia Curiosities: Laundry, Humor & Everyday Life

    From alleyway clotheslines to cheeky climate jokes, Croatia’s laundry culture is woven into daily life — and sometimes, into the humor.

    View Full Post
    One of the most charming (and relatable) sights in Croatia’s old towns is laundry hung high, low, and proudly on display. In places like Korčula, Split, and Trogir, laundry lines stretch across alleys, peek out from stone balconies, and sway gently in the breeze. It’s not just tolerated — it’s embraced. Clotheslines seem like part...

    Fruit, flowers, loud greetings, and even louder colors — welcome to the rhythm of everyday life in Croatia.

    View Full Post
    Just outside Split’s Old Town walls, the Pazar (green market) buzzes to life each morning. The air smells of fresh herbs, sun-warmed peaches, and a hint of sea breeze. We walked past it nearly every day, and a few mornings in, we stopped to buy fresh fruit for our apartment. By the end of the trip,...
