Seaham beach is one of our slightly smaller local beaches which is slightly rockier but with a great promenade to walk along! It is becoming more and more popular with the people of the North East and investment has seen it rise to become one of the best seaside locations in the region.

Makarska
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…

Mostar
Now, visiting Bosnia wasn’t actually on our itinerary when we planned our Croatian Adventure. However, once we had the car hire sorted, we were free to travel where we wanted to. Michael is a huge Coach Trip fan and he always remembers the episode where they go to Mostar. So, it was goodbye Croatia and Hello Bosnia for the day. We couldn’t resist ticking another country off our list. The drive would only be two hours so we thought, why not? Mostar was stunning but it’s safe to say we got quite a culture shock…

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

Split
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.

Valencia

It seemed to have it all, stunning strips of golden sands, an historic old town, a modern science centre and one of the worlds most famous football clubs and stadiums. Is Valencia worth a visit?
