Croatia's Azure Waters

Croatia's Azure Waters

Today, you'll take a tour of the fascinating Blue Cave and stunning Pakleni Islands by speedboat. The Blue Cave is a natural phenomenon; sunlight creeps through a small gap in the roof of the cave and bounces off the limestone bottom, illuminating the water and cave to bright blue. This is only seen at certain parts of the day and the dazzling crystal clear azure waters will be an unforgettable memory. Afterwards, you'll head to the Pakleni Islands, Croatia's little slice of heaven.

Croatian Culinary Experience

Croatian Culinary Experience

In Croatia, and anywhere for that matter, cooking and eating are an important role in everyday life. What's fascinating is how different cultures treat this as a necessity or as an art in itself, the latter is no different in Croatia. Spending the day on a traditional, organic farm with a local family, you'll learn to prepare and cook a range of delicious dishes that you'll enjoy with a glass of wine at the end! Challenge yourself and be like a local - dobar tek!
