Dalmatian Coast Secrets

Thinking Back on a Croatian Summer

Maybe anywhere along the Dalmatian Coast of Croatia is a good place for a summer holiday. But I do have a couple of tips.


A couple of summers ago, a Slovak friend of mine invited me to join her and some friends at a beach house in a tiny village on the Croatian coast. It was so gorgeous, and so secluded, that I'm not even going to tell you the name. Sorry! But there are countless small villages between the bigger resort towns and cities, and it's not hard to find somewhere pretty if you want.

I'll give you one hint about this village - it was about an hour and a half north of Split. That's why we managed a day trip to Trogir while we were there. Trogir's just a tiny island but full of character and fantastically photogenic old buildings. If you've got a sunny day - and surely most of summer is sunny in Croatia - then you'll come home with a memory stick full of pictures.

On my trip to Trogir, I remember that my friend's son picked our restaurant for lunch. Although we'd thought of eating something more traditionallly Croatian, Marin settled on a great Italian restaurant near the waterfront. By the end of that meal, it wasn't just my camera's memory stick that was full that day - my stomach was overflowing, too!
