Bay Torac, Island Hvar: Would You Like To Vacation Here?

Island Hvar is definitely my first love. I spend a lot of time there while growing up, and perhaps no place has had a greater impact on me from an artistic point of view, not even my native town.  I blogged about bay Torac often enough, but one more time can't hurt. This bay can boast of an incredibly beautiful beach, it may not look that long from this perspective, but it is actually one of the longest beaches in this Southern part of an island. The reason why this place was featured on my blog often is because my parents own a house there so obviously I will go there to pay them a visit whenever I can. My grandmother resides there as well, and so do many family members and relatives. We're all pretty much related to one another in this area.  As I explained in one of my a previous posts (here), recently I have payed island Hvar a new visit. The reason why I went there was not to vacation but to help my parents prepare the house for the tourists. We only spent one night there, and altogether we were there for about a day and a half. If you remember, we we left hanging with the ferry, but we managed to get on the next one, do what was needed, so it's all good. I was really happy I managed to see my grandmother. The weather only improved the last day we were there, that first day was rainy, but I didn't mind because Hvar is beautiful no matter the weather. Besides, I wasn't planning any excursions because I had things to do.  Obviously, I didn't managed to get around much because I had spent all the time cleaning but I'm happy I went there. It was lovely.

Bay Torac, Island Hvar- Would You Like To Vacation Here?


Are you interested in vacationing here?

Here is a link to a travel/tourist agency that rents my parent's apartment and there you should be able to find a precise description of this apartment. However, pay in mind that if you go through this or any other agency you will pay a higher price. That's how all travel agencies work, they take up a certain  percent for themselves in exchange for their services. Hence if you want a lower price, you will want to book with the owner directly. Take a look and see if you like what you see. The tourism in this part of the island is more calmer in nature, it's more about peace and quiet combined with an easy access to crystal clear sea than about fancy accommodation, so keep that in mind. If you would like to book an accommodation in this house with a price significantly lower that than of an agency, you can send an email to my father: kardummile at gmail.com or if it is more convenient for you, email me and I will forward it to my dad. The apartment is already booked for most of  Summer season, i.e. July and August ( except for the period of 12.8. - 17.8),  but there are still vacancies during Spring time (May and June). I think October isn't fully booked yet either. If you would like to see more photographs from this bay, you can check out my old posts  here, here and here. Thank you for reading!

    Thanks a lot :D seriously? Oh, I'm so sorry ... I think it's not easy, but we think that the days ahead will be better. When it comes to health, there is always to be patient and very careful, above all.

    Let me tell you that you're a maximum. love the whole look. I'm extremely fond of stripes and I found the shirt to the waist gave a more modern to coordinated!

    It looks spectacularly beautiful there by your parents' apartment. It's wonderful that you were able to spend so much time there while you were growing up and that you have family members and relatives there.
    I love the look of the dress you were wearing in your scenic outfit photos.

    "Would You Like To Vacation Here?" - oh my gosh, yes of course!!! i dont live on a seaside, a drive to the open sea is a very long ride for me. i´ve got some barrier lake in my region, i like it to drive there - it´s always a quiet place there.

    but your region is so lovely and cool - nice pics and what a view from this mountain side!!!

    hugs
    Jennifer
    P.S.: i need your help on my new blog-post outfit. i wrote you about my overall, this time i show it on my blog and i need fashion ideas to this..

      Thank you Jennifer. I'd be glad to help, I left you my suggestion. I think that the red or shiny heels would be perfect for that jumpsuit. Maybe you can also try pairing it with flats.

    What a beautiful place to vacay! Hvar island looks spectacular and you look like a real darling. I love the comfort factor of this outfit and you accessorizing it gives it a unique touch. It's so sweet of you to help out your parents turning their home into a summer spot for holidays. I am already in love with the place looking at the sea, greenery and terrains there. And it's so sunny I probably will have to wait until the sun goes down a bit for any type of excursion hahah. I wish you a relaxing weekend and a vibrant week ahead :) x

    I didn't stop on Hvar at all when we were in Split and Korcula because we were worried it would be very busy and too partyish for us but everywhere was like that I suppose! If we do ever go back to Split, I will definitely bear this in mind! You look lovely in the white dress with your handmade necklace- very clean, fresh and Spring-like!x

    What a beautiful place!!! I would LOVE to visit some day! I've never really thought about it till just now when you mentioned your parents' apartment...it would be so lovely to visit Hvar, Mostar and all these pretty places you write about. Maybe in October, some day? I don't deal well with heat, so Fall would be ideal for me. Maybe some day I can book your parents apartment and meet with my parents in this gorgeous place. And of course meet with you! That would be awesome!

    I am glad that you wear the birch bark jewelry. They are unique, hand-carved, durable, and I love that they are so lightweight! I would keep them away from water (shower, swimming etc.), but otherwise they should be in great shape for centuries! :)

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

SUPPORTING LOCAL DESIGNERS IN MOSTAR: TRANSITIONAL AUTUMN STYLING WITH OZZ BRAND

Image
Hello readers and fellow bloggers! In this post, I'll share two transitional outfits featuring a lilac skirt from fashion designer Stanka Zovko. If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've probably seen this skirt before. Afterall, I'm really good at shopping my closet. I've been wearing this lilac skirt a lot in the past few months. It's also a great piece for transitional weather because it can be easily layered, or dressed up and down.  Supporting local designers and artisans is certainly something that pays off in the long run. If you want to own unique pieces and at the same time, support your local community, you should really explore shopping local, or commissioning local artisans and designers.  Sustainability in fashion is a big topic nowadays! However, sometimes I feel like people make it more complicated than it really is. We should go back to our origins. Explore vintage, second hand and local shopping. Learn how to stay away from the big shoppin

FORGIVENESS DAY BY URSULA K. LE GUIN (BOOK REVIEW AND AN AUTUMN STYLING)

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! How are you today? I'm back with another Ursula K. Le Guin book review. In this post, I'll review " Forgiveness Day" , a science fiction novella that is a part of the Hainish Circle. Published in 1995, "Forgiveness Day " won multiple awards. This novella is often published together with her other novellas from the Hainish Circle, and it can be find in various editions of Four Ways to Forgiveness and Five Ways to Forgiveness.   Thematically, this novella is a part of five stories featuring two Hainish planets, but it can definitely be read on its own. I think it functions well as a stand alone novella. I listened to it in audio form, and I didn't have any problems following the story.  The world building is simple and effective. The author fills us in about the history of the two planets as the story enfolds. For such a short work of prose, this novella is really impressive in that it manages to explore the theme o

MALTA HIKING TALES (PART FIVE) GHAJN TUFFIEFA AND QUARABBA BAY

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! I'm back with another Malta themed post. Recently I posted a painting inspired by Malta. As some of you might remember, I visited Malta a few years ago, but I only blogged about it last April, when I published a series of post on Malta. My series about Malta isn't finished, though. In fact, today we're going to continue it. Considering my stay on Malta was two weeks long, it deserves more than a couple of posts. There is a lot to see and do on Malta. It's a small island, but one that's filled with so much life and beauty. Although Malta faces some problems caused by fast tourism, it remains an unique and magical island.  In this post, I'll take you to the bays I visited while hiking on Malta. One of them (Ghajn Tuffieha Bay) is the one I painted. You can visit that post by clicking on the link below: TRAVEL WITH MY ART #43, GHAJN TUFFIEHA BAY, MALTA LET'S START WITH THE GOLDEN BAY We actually didn't go all the way

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER, A SHORT STORY BY W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM

Image
Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! Welcome November! We'll welcome this new month with a blog review. In this post, I'll share my review for Maugham's short story titled T he Ant and the Grasshopper . This post will also be  a reading recommendation because I enjoyed this story a great deal. I've been reading Maugham's The Complete Short Stories for some time now. I've been taking my time with this collection, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I finish this book in its entirely, I'll share a review for all of his stories. Until then, I'll keep posting individual reviews of stories I liked the most. If you want to read Maugham yourself, you can find his collected works online (among other places  on project Gutenberg ) and read them for free.  W. Somerset Maugham is a writer whose subtle use of humour is delightful, but sometimes it's easy to miss it just because it's so subtle. He's wonderful at mixing the harsh realities of life with clever

FASHION ILLUSTRATION FRIDAY WATERCOLOUR: LONG DRESSES AND DE PROFUNDIS QUOTES!

Image
 Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers! It's almost ten. I've had a long week and I'm quite tired and sleepy. However, I'll try to wrap this post up for you tonight. What kind of post? Well, a post about art. Fashion art to be more precise.  I've been on a roll lately with my art posts. After a period of not posting my art at all, due to a variety of reasons, I started posting my art in every post. I got back to my destination art series, and now it's time for another post in my fashion art series. Friday Fashion Illustration  is somewhat of a regular feature on my blog. Today I'll share two watercolour pencil fashion illustrations of mine. I sketched both of them this Summer in my A3 mixed media sketchbook. I sketched the long yellow dress first, and then the blue and read one. The medium for both of them is watercolour pencils on paper, the same brand I always use. I find watercolour pencils to be quite practical, especially for sketching. I often use the
