Mostly mountainous, it has access to a tiny portion of the Adriatic Sea coastline in the south. Great natural attractions can be found all around, even close to the main cities. Take a horse carriage to Vrelo Bosne to join Sarajevo for quiet getaways and picnics. The waterfalls of Kravice, about 40km from Mostar, make for another fabulous natural trip. A popular spot for city dwellers and rafters, the water of the Trebižat River drops some 30 meters in a beautiful natural setting of tuff walls. Top picks for village life can be found in the historic citadel of Počitelj, Blagaj or, for environmentalists, in the Zelenkovac ecovillage near Mrkonjić Grad. Just outside of Radimlja is the largest collection of Stećak, a remarkable kind of pre-Ottoman tombstones that are found throughout the ancient Bosnian Kingdom.

Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Zagreb county borders Slovenia on its west. This region it’s more a living one, where you can really easily find some sweet villages, all around the capital. You can still  find some churches and ruins to visit, like ; the Ruins Sambor Castle, the Saint Martin church or even more recent monuments like the Fallen soldier of Velika Gorica. The region also has some nature to offer like the Nature Park Zumberak, in the west of the county.

Bordering Hungary to the northeast, Serbia to the east, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the southeast, Montenegro to the southeast  and Slovenia to the northwest. Croatia has an impressive history, a fact that is best explained through the vast array of sites worth visiting. Most towns have an historical centre with its typical architecture. There are differences between the coast and the continental part, so both areas are a must. The most famous town is probably Dubrovnik, a prime example of the coastal architecture, but by no means the only one worth visiting. Equally important is the capital and largest city, Zagreb, with a population of about 1 million. It is a modern city with all the modern features, yet it has a laid back feel. In the east, in the region of Slavonia, the regional capital Osijek and the war torn Vukovar are awe inspiring. Scattered throughout the region are vineyards and wine cellars, most of which offer tours and tastings.

Pula

Its residents are known for their warm hospitality and are happy to introduce visitors to their local specialities such as 'culurgiones' and 'malloreddus' (typical local pasta dishes), Pecorino cheese, Cannonau wine, and Seadas (a cheese-based dessert drizzled with honey). Its ancestral traditions, kept alive to this day, attest to the richness of its history, which has seen a confluence of many different populations. A land of emigration since the 1950s and largely rural in character, it is one of the least populous areas of the country.

Partially cleared forests were transformed into vineyards and orchards. Wine from Župa and the royal cellars in Oplenac are droplets of history distilled into tradition. The villages of central Serbia nurture the tradition of good health, typical of this region. Central Serbia is often thought of as one big fruit and vegetable garden with a big product production annually. Chose among fishing, hunting, skiing, swimming or horse-riding, as they are the main activities you should try in this region.

Hola. I was born in Croatia, lived in Portugal and Serbia and thinking of moving one day to Spain. My biggest passion (besides traveling) are languages - to learn and to teach. My love towards sunshine, nature, Madrid, sports, bicycle, music, art and South America is undoubtedly huge. All my money I'd spend on traveling, books and tasting new food. Here, on itinari, I will write to you stories about Croatia and its natural and cultural beauties. Also, I have MA in Linguistics, I do not have Ph.D. in Traveling (yet) and I am a full-time curious person. Exploring unexplored places in foreign countries is something special for me. Travelling brought me great friends, besides numerous memories and I hope I will tickle your imagination before you come and visit all the places I am writing about.
