Kayak Around the Dubrovnik Old City Walls
Dubrovnik is now one of the most famous destinations on the planet, thanks to Game of Thrones. To see the city from a different perspective, hop in a kayak and make your way around the Old City walls, which tower over you from the water and give a real sense of how powerful Dubrovnik would have been as a fortress in its hay-day. If you get tired along the way, there are plenty of hidden coves and caves to explore.

Stroll Down the Tkalciceva Street in Zagreb
Once a creek that separated two towns: Kaptol, and Gradec, Tkalciceva Street, or Tkalca as locals call it, is a cute pedestrian street lined with cafes and small shops on both sides of the street. Many of these are housed in small historical houses of different colours, which just adds to its charm - very photogenic! The street starts just behind the main Jelacic Square and goes all the way to Kaptol Center, make sure to check it out when you are in Zagreb.

Cruise to the Jewel of the Adriatic
I loved our beautiful boat trip to Hvar, one of the most stunning islands in the Croatian archipelago. We set sail from Split harbour across the Adriatic Sea, then explored the historic Hvar Old Town on foot, and finished with some fresh seafood by the beach. You can even head to the Venetian hilltop fortress to soak up the gorgeous views!
Black Risotto (Crni Rizot)
Don’t let the tar-like appearance put you off - this Dalmatian seafood risotto is simply delicious. Crni rižot is cooked with rice, squid or cuttlefish, red wine, garlic and olive oil. It’s also got a healthy dose of squid ink, which gives the dish its distinct jet black colour and intense flavour, so don't let its appearance put you off.
Boskarin
If you want to try gourmet Croatian cuisine, look no further than boškarin beef, from the white-grey long-horned cattle of Istria, it's found fame as one of the most famous delicacies in Croatia. You’ll love a juicy boškarin steak or boškarin salami, or try it with a bowl of handmade pasta.
Fritule
Craving something sweet? These donut-like balls or fritule, are made with flour, egg yolks, raisins, lemon zest and a dash of local schnapps, then deep-fried. Topped with chocolate sauce and powdered sugar, sweet-tooths will love this addictive street food.

How to Travel Responsibly in Croatia
Leave No Trace
Whether you’re going on a Croatia cruise or exploring the national parks, you can help keep Croatia beautiful. Never leave any rubbish behind and don’t disturb the wildlife.
Go Plastic-free
Waste disposal is a big issue for Croatia, but you can do your part. Instead of arriving with lots of plastic packaging, use reusable bags and bottles that you can take home.
