3 BEAUTIFUL GDINJ BAYS: JEDRA, SRHOV DOLAC AND VEPRINOVA

I'm taking my mission to show you the most beautiful bays and beaches on island Hvar very seriously. There are so many of them, though. At times I will  include more than one beautiful bay in my posts.  Today I'll share with you three bays: bay Jedra, bay Srhov dolac and bay Veprinova. We visited all of these bays back in March when I also visited Skozanje bay. If you remember, it was the day when I decided to show all of the Gdinj's southern bays to my husband. Now is the time to share some of them with you as well.  As I already explained, Gdinj's bays are mostly oriented towards ecological, Robinson and family tourism. They are a great choice for anyone who is looking for crystal clear sea and unspoiled nature.

BAY JEDRA
Bay Jedra is a lovely small bay with a beautiful private pebble beach.  It is situated between bay Lučica and bay Srhov dolac. When we approached it, I was impressed with the beautiful olive trees. The stone houses in this bay are all available for rent and offer apartments that are only about ten to fifteen meters away from the beach. These stone apartment houses are a delight. They are all build in the same style, resembling the original stone house that was here first. It is almost like it is a single house in a continuation. The gardens with Mediterranean herbs are wonderful. 
Uvala Jedra je  lijepa mala uvala sa privatnom plažom. Ako volite plaže s oblucima, ovo je idealno mjesto za vas. Kada smo joj prošli, veoma su mi se svidjeli maslinici. Kamene kuće u ovoj uvali su dostupne za iznamljivanje i nude apartmane koji su samo desetak metara od mora. Ove kamene kuće su divne. Sve su sagrađene u istom stilu i slične originalnoj kamenoj kući koja je bila u ovoj uvala. Skoro pa je to sve ista kuća u nastavku. Vrtovi s mediteranskim biljem su divni.

BAY SRHOV DOLAC
Bay Srhov dolac is located next to bay Jedra. It also has a lovely pebble beach, plenty of greenery and great views. We didn't have time to go into the bay itself, so we just took photographs and enjoyed the view of it from a wall that was in process of being build or it looked so. There was some construction work being done on the wall when we visited, but I'm not sure to exactly what extent. Maybe just a big wall to secure the road. I can't tell. Anyhow, this bay looks lovely as well. I think I remember visiting it as a kid. 
Uvala Srhov dolac smještena je pored uvale Jedra. Ona također ima lijepu plažu s oblucima, puno zelenila i lijepe poglede. Nismo imali vremena spustiti se u same uvale, tako smo smo se fotografili i uživali u pogledu za zida koji je u procesu izgradnje ili se barem tako činilo. Bilo je nekih radova za zidu kada smo bili tamo, ali nisam sigurna u kojoj mjeri, možda samo rade veliki zid za osigurati cestu. Ne mogu reći. Uglavnom, ova uvala lijepo izgleda. Mislim da se sjećam da sam ju posjetila kada sam bila mala. 
BAY VEPRINOVA
Bay Veprinova has quite a large and beautiful pebble beach. During the summer there is also a fish restaurant opened here that is supposedly very good. I noticed that are quite a few new houses in this bay. When we visited last time, there was some construction work being done. It seems like a new house is being build or something. 
Uvala Veprinova ima poprilično veliku plažu s oblucima. Tijekom ljeta je tu otvoren riblji restoran za koji kažu da je dobar. Primjetila sam da u ovoj uvali ima nekih novih kuća. Zadnji put kada smo posjetili, bilo je nekih građevinskih radova. Čini se da se radi nova kuća ili tako nešto.
That would be all for now. Thank you for reading and have a lovely day.

    Hey Ivana, hope you're having a good start of the month and of the week!

    This scenario is definitely the better place to spend our quarantine days, good to know that despite everything you're able to breath some fresh air and get your necessary dose of nature, that's something priceless nowadays! I wouldn't mind to wake up here, this reminds me of the sea in the Balearic Islands by the way!

THE ISLAND OF THE MISSING TREES BY ELIF SHAFAK (BOOK REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATION)

Image
Today I shall review The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak. I was actually gifted this book. What a wonderful present it proved to be! Published in 2021, this postmodern  novel  follows two  story lines and uses framed narration.  The Island of Missing Trees  tells the life story of a Greek Turkish couple and their adolescent daughter.  This novel examines and explores a number of topics such as identity, migration, immigrant life, war trauma, memory, love and family. It's an ambitious novel that examines serious topics with due respect and sensitivity . I read it months ago, but I remember it vividly. Honestly, I cried a lot while reading this novel. It really moved me greatly. In fact, that is probably why it took me this long to finish this book review. I needed to emotionally process the story.   The Island of Missing Trees is   set in London and Cyprus. The narration isn't chronological .  The story jumps back and forth, following two main timelines, one set in moder

10 STYLE LESSONS LEARNED FROM MALENA/ MONICA BELLUCCI

Image
With summer being in full spring, I caught myself thinking about iconic summer outfits. Do you know what came to my mind? Costumes/outfits worn by Monica Belluci when she played Malena Scordia in an iconic Italian movie set on Sicily.  The costumes for that movie were designed by an acclaimed Italian costume designer Maurizio Millenotti and he outdone himself! Seeing that Malena is a historical movie, Maurizio choose quite timeless outfits and cuts that will ever go out of style. That fact makes Malena movie the perfect place to look for inspiration! Moreover, I feel that Monica Belluci's personal style is quite similar to Malena's (i.e. to the style of the character she is playing). There is definitely a Mediterranean lady feel about Malena/Monica Bellucci. What says summer better than Mediterranean and Sicily? Today we'll analyze Malena's style and see what we can learn from her. There is much to learn! Having analyzed looks that Monica wore in iconic Malena film, I&

HACKING MONICA BELLUCCI'S STYLE SECRETS

Image
Hello dear readers! Today we'll be hacking Monica Bellucci's style secrets. Monica Bellucci is an Italian actress loved by many designers, including D&G duo and Dior. She is known for having a very feminine style of dressing.  One could definitely call her a style icon. So, why not analyze her style?  In this post, we will  start with identifying the key items in Monica's closet and then we are going to examine them. Finally, we'll hack her style secrets. I already wrote a bit about her style when I analyzed Malena's (character played by Monica Bellucci) wardrobe . The reasons why I have decided to write about her again is because of her timelessly elegant and chic style.  I happen to think Monica Bellucci has a very classical style of dressing that is quite ageless and universally flattering. In fact, you probably already have at least one of Monica's Bellucci key items in your closet.  When we see someone being stylish, we sometimes forget that style can

OUTFIT TIPS FOR VISITING MOSTAR CITY IN SUMMER

Mostar is the second largest city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, second only to Sarajevo. Being the the largest city in the Herzegovina region, Mostar is the natural business, administrative, cultural, educational and tourist centre of the Herzegovina region. Many people visit this beautiful city for a variety of river. Besides being absolutely stunning, Mostar is also know for record high temperatures in the summertime.

Jadrolinija ferry ride, travelling from Split to island Hvar (outfit post)

Image
Science proved that life on Earth originated in the sea but in our hearts we must have always felt it. Why otherwise would we feel so inspired by the sea? Who of us has not felt his or her heart opening up while mesmerized by the deep blueness of sea? Is it an echo of an oceanic birth of life? Is it our soul that wanders enchanted towards that greatest mystery? We feel the song of the sea, even when we don't understand it. Znanost je dokazala da je život na Zemlji započeo u moru, ali u našem srcu smo zacijelo to znali. Zašto bi nas more inače tako nadahnjivalo? Tko od nas nije osjetio kako mu se srce otvara dok biješe očaran dubokim plavetnilom mora? Je li to odjek morskog rođenja života?  Je li to naša duša koja luta očarana prema tom krajnjem misteriju? Osjećamo pjesmu mora, čak i kada je ne razumijemo. A SELECTION OF CROATIAN POETRY RIKARD KATALINIĆ JERETOV 1869-1954   Born in Volosko (Istria, Croatia), died in Split.

TRAVEL WITH MY ART #39- STJEPAN FORTRESS BLAGAJ (BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share another destination painting of mine. You know what that means- it's time for another TRAVEL WITH MY ART post! Today I'm taking you to Herzeg Stjepan Kosaca fortress. This stunning historical fortress overlooking Blagaj in Bosnia and Herzegovina is a sight to behold. Trying to capture its magical beauty in a painting was a challenge!  The medium for this painting is acrylic paints on cotton canvas. The painting process was actually quite long and tedious. I've worked on this painting since Autumn and I only finished it towards the end of Summer. I rushed the painting towards the end, because I wanted to participate in the joint artist exhibition. There was a submission deadline to meet, so I submitted this canvas not feeling confident it's actually finished. If you happen to visit Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, you'll be able to see my painting hanging in the Stjepan Kosača gallery for the next
