Croatia

My trip to eastern Europe.

Many synonymize crystal blue waters and sunsets with Greece. Croatia is an underestimated destination, one that offers the same, without all the extortionate prices and crowds.

Dubrovnik at dusk.

My favourite cities:

Dubrovnik

This is a remarkable city for all possible activities. Famous for filming the Game of Thrones, it is a place that does not disappoint. It is surprisingly cheaper than many european tourist hotspots.

I highly recommend the private buggy tour to the top of the city. We were offered a glass of locally produced wine on a picnic matt, to watch the sun set behind the islands of Croatia. Colours so stunningly prominent and colourful. Saturated with hues of red, yellow and orange. My pictures do not do it justice. (The tour is not expensive, yet it offers the best view away from others. It is unlike the cable car station filled with crowds, offering an obstructed view)
