The islands of Cres and Lošinj are located in the northern part of Croatia, in Kvarner Bay. I remember the first time I saw them from Cape Kamenjak in Istria.

Świerklaniec Park, Poland – a beautiful autumn walk
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful palace surrounded by fabulous gardens that used to be called the Little Versailles.

Although there…

Pelješac Peninsula, Croatia – the land of wine and jackals
They say that the Pelješac Peninsula is one of the greenest and wildest parts of the Croatian coast. It changes, of course, because every year more and more tourists come here.

Mali Lošinj, Croatia – the pearl of the Kvarner Bay
They say Mali Lošinj is the pearl of the Kvarner Bay and a premium tourist destination in Croatia.

A virtual trip to cherry blossoms in Vienna, Austria
They say that spring always comes after winter. I know it might sound trivial but to be honest, this saying always gave me some hope and optimism when I needed it so much. It’s been a year since the last time I was in Vienna, but now it seems so unreal to me that I feel like I took all these photos…

Top 10 things to do in Korčula Town, Croatia
Korčula, one of the most beautiful coastal towns in Croatia and the probable birthplace of the famous explorer, Marco Polo. Some people call it a small Dubrovnik claiming that these two cities are somewhat similar. Well, maybe they are right. But I think what makes Korčula Town different and unique is its fishbone shape. I love visiting such towns so…
