Top places to see in Croatia and Slovenia and the local weather? Spreading over an area of some 320 square kilometers-it’s 35 kilometers long and 13 kilometers wide-the Kornati archipelago encompasses 89 scattered islets, big and small. Rocky and arid with little fertile soil, the islets are practically uninhabited, though there are some very basic stone cottages dotted here and there. Originally built as one-room shelters by local fishermen and shepherds, they’re now often used as holiday retreats or seasonal seafood restaurants. The best way to explore this stunningly beautiful coastal region is by private sailing boat, with the nearest charter base being located in Biograd Na Moru. It’s also possible to visit the Kornati as a day trip by excursion boat from either Zadar or Sibenik on the mainland. If sailing under your own step, (as it were), you’ll need to purchase a valid permit, available online (see the official site below).
The Kobarid Museum was founded with the purpose of preserving, presenting, and researching the history of World War I in Slovenia. Most of the museum is dedicated to the Soča Front, the most important front on the Slovenian territory in the Great War. The rooms of the museum present visitors with photos documenting the horrors of the front, military charts, diaries and maps, and two large relief displays showing the front lines. Visitors can explore the museum on their own, or they can partake in one of the guided tours.
With its rocky, indented shore and more than a thousand islands, Croatia boasts one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline that Europe has to offer. In addition, many of Croatia’s coastal towns and cities have a fascinating history and are filled with the historical remains of Roman and Venetian times. A list of the top tourist attractions in Croatia.
Meandering streets connecting stone houses in a small marina to form a charming town with breathtaking sweeping views of the Adriatic Sea – Bol is one of the top places to visit in Croatia. It is where the iconic shape-shifting pebble beach called the Zlatni Rat beach resides. The beach protrudes out into the sea and changes shape as and when the wind changes. The beach offers plenty of water activities like sunbathing, swimming, windsurfing, and more… And the charming promenade lined with trees running between the town and beach at Bol makes Croatia travel a lifetime’s experience.

On the 18th August each year, a pirate battle (well, a re-enactment of a 13th century one!) takes place off the coast of Omis. Thousands of people are drawn to witness this special event! Set one street in from Makarska’s busy seafront, Jez has long been a locals’ favourite, a reliable choice for Dalmatian standards. Then came Jadran Grancic, only 25 but with eight years of experience at the top hotels in Zagreb. Initially suspicious regulars needed time, and a special gastronomic evening, to take to his molecular gastronomy, but now Jez has won over both the traditional customer and the discerning tourist, happy to find swordfish on a Makarska menu and home-made bread to accompany the divine prawn soup. Classy service and decor are both appropriate for the upper price bracket.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik is an awe-inspiring walled city that has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Tourism is the principal industry here, so there is no shortage of restaurants, bars, and hotels. Many visitors enjoy simply strolling through the city’s marble streets or along the ancient city walls, but other popular activities include chartered yacht tours, kayaking, and swimming in the beautiful blue waters of the sea. There are also excellent views to be had from the top of Mount Srd, which can be reached either by foot or by cable car. Discover even more info on this website.
