Well, what can we say about Makarska, what an absolute hidden gem!

We stumbled across it on our drive from Dubrovnik to Zadar as we were both feeling hungry and wanted to stretch our legs part way through the journey. To say we were impressed by what we found would be an understatement…

We had pre-planned this as part of our Croatia adventure, as well as Split and Dubrovnik. Michael had done some research and found Zadar. Zadar is a coastal city north of Split which is full of history. This was the final location where we stayed in Croatia.

Krka National Park is famous for it’s series of seven waterfalls. We had seen photographs of the park on social media and it looked amazing. We just had to find out for ourselves.

When visiting Croatia, we instantly knew that we wanted Dubrovnik to be a part of the trip. With Emma being a massive Game of Thrones fan, it really was a must so we could go and visit some of the filming sites whilst we were there. Michael isn’t a fan of Game of Thrones, but it was definitely somewhere that caught our attention. Is Dubrovnik worth visiting?

Hvar, one of the islands just off Split looks like paradise. We had to see for ourselves! Is Hvar worth visiting?

Our big holiday back in 2017 was a trip around Croatia. We planned the main places that we wanted to go and worked it out from where we could fly from Newcastle. The trip was mainly to see Dubrovnik and we mapped out a few other places such as Zadar and the Krka national park. We decided on a few days in Split as we flew into the cities airport and from pictures the old town looked great. Split surprised us and has became one of our favourite destinations.
