TAKE A BREAK IN CROATIA

Departure by plane from Paris to arrive in Dubrovnik at around 11am, my road trip to visit Croatia begins. Once at the airport, buses take you directly to the city center. You have to take the ticket inside the airport and then wait at the exit. After leaving my bag at the hostel, I discovered Dubrovnik. An old city full of charm (and which was used for the Games of Thrones stage decor) with its narrow pedestrian streets, intact ramparts, a Fort overlooking the city. There is also a beautiful sunset to admire from the top of SRD Mount. And there are paths outside the old town that allow you to discover different landscapes such as the Dubrovnik Bridge and the islands facing it.

To make the trip from Dubrovnik to Split, I took the bus (about 5 hours). To go to Split, the bus goes through the customs of Bosnia and Herzegovina, so do not forget to take your passport and / or the necessary documents with you. I visited Split for two days, beginning with the Diocletian’s Palace which also has a lot of charms. Then, I could admire the sunset from the top of the Marjan forest. The colors of the sunset over the city are very beautiful. The next morning, I walked on the path near the water to discover beautiful beaches and different landscapes. Split is a very busy city with shopping streets and many restaurants.

To go to Zadar, I also took the bus (about 3 hours). The landscapes on the road are super beautiful. Once there, I watched the sunset with the natural music of the sea organs. The next day, I visited the old town as well as the beaches and harbors around. The mix of architecture gives an unique charm to the city.

Then I went to Korenica by bus (about 2 hours), one of the cities close to the Plitvice lakes to sleep there. The next morning, head to the Plitvice Lakes. Despite unfavorable weather, the national park is still beautiful. The colors of the water are breathtaking, and the waterfalls are awesome. The entire park can be visited thanks to the different routes.

Unfortunately, due to the weather and a lack of time, I can not say that I visited Zagreb. That’s why I did not make an article dedicated to the city. I only went to the Cathedral, which is impressive. From what I could see, the city looks pretty with different architectures and monuments to discover. I will return one day to visit the city. I then took the bus to the airport back home.
