Dubrovnik is fairly known as “the pearl of the Adriatic“. The city is surrounded by crystaline turquoise blue water and the old town and its buildings are absolutely beautiful.

The pizzas are also very cheap in Croatia compared to Western Europe, and are delicious! As in Italy, you’ll also find delicious ice creams, nicely decorated. Try […]

We stayed only a few hours in the Croatian capital. The coastal towns of Split, Zadar and Dubrovnik are more worth exploring than the capital.
