How to get there?

We took a car ferry for about an hour from Split to Superstar, Brac and then a further hour of bus from Superstar to Bol.

On the car ferry deck

What you can do there?

It's a quite windy pebble beach with lots of tourist, but  it is rather big enough and the water is definitely crystal clear with jewel color. Having a nice sunshine and cool swim there is a must.

Also, Bol is a heaven for water sport lovers and here we saw many people playing kite surfing. It's really cool and we shall reserve some time to try it.

Having a nice lunch at Restaurant Palmižana, Meneghello, we had a short hiking over the island before returning to Hvar.

There are numerous of sobe in Hvar and we stayed in a non air conditioning one with a small terrace in which we could have a nice DIY dinner there with comfortable breeze. Actually it's rather cool at night and this is not a problem without air conditioning at room at all.

See ‧ Seek ‧ Explore in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a stunning city with its amazing Old Town which became an UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.

George Bernard Shaw said: "Those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik and see Dubrovnik".

So here I come and see ......

Getting Around Old Town

What you can see from the very well preserved City Wall walk?

To avoid the crowd, I started the walk from the Ploce Gate in evening and it took about 1.5 to 2 hrs to complete the walk leisurely.

You can reach here by cable car from old port or driving up a narrow mountain road to have an excellent top view of the city.

In Love with the amazing beaches on crystal clear Adriatic Sea

- St. Jakov 

It is a pebble and sandy beach with a tremendous view on Dubrovnik and the Lokrum island. As St. Jakov is a bit far from old town, it is less crowded and you can enjoy sunbathing there without being disturbed.

- Banje beach
If you want to save some walk and enjoy a more lively atmosphere, Banje is a good choice as it is the closest beach to the Old Town with stunning view of Dubrovnik Old port and walls. Also it is claimed to be the most attractive beach in Croatia.
