a little place to call my own (art and fashion blog)

Today I'm taking you to Makarska city. Located in Dalmatia, a region of Croatia, this little town is a big touristic hot spot. Makarska city is a well know Croatian destination and as soon as you set foot into this town, you will understand why. Once you have a look at the majestic mountains overlooking this town, and see for yourself how beautiful the beaches are, you won't have to ask why is this place so popular. This whole area is a top destination, so if you want to visit it before it gets crowded with tourists now is the perfect time. If you want you can check out my previous visits to this place ( a visit dating back to March 2016  and  a night visit to Makarska ). As far as accommodation in Makarska is concerned, it is quite versatile. From luxurious hotels to more affordable ones, from private accommodation to camps, you should be able to find something to suit your desires. Finding a place to stay can be challenging during the summer season, so if that is when you...

Hi there! Today I'm back with another post about Jelsa city on island Hvar and I’m basically taking it from where I stopped yesterday . If you're in mood for browsing images of crystal clear water and learning more about Jelsa, you have came to the right place. Speaking of which, isn't the Adriatic Sea amazingly beautiful? I love how clear and turquoise the sea in Croatia is ( Remember where the sea is crystal clear? ). I'm simply in love with these turquoise waters. You know, I truly believe there is something magical about the sea, something that is capable of captivating our hearts and freeing our souls. That might sound cheesy, but I do love the Adriatic Sea and it always makes me feel better so... Years ago, I remember reading that beach was the most perfect place to be (for a human being that is), because it contains all the elements and that calms our senses. A beach is an open space that brings all the elements in harmony. When I read that, somet...

Doesn't this place look simply magical? Jelsa is a small touristic town located on island of Hvar. That is where I'm taking you today, that’s what this post is about so Jelsa is basically what I’ll be showing you and writing about. Jelsa is quite a beautiful and picturesque little town, I have to say. If you like the Adriatic sea, and you want to visit a lovely and relaxed vibe Croatian costal city, this place is definitely an option for you.  This city actually started its life as a harbour for Pitve village. Jelsa still has a harbour and a marine, and one that is accessible to boats.  If you are a boat owner or plan to rent one for vacation purpuses, you might want to keep that in mind. You can easily get to Jelsa from Split by taking a catamaran boat ride from Split. Jelsa was actually one of the places that did tourism seriously (back in the day when health tourism was a thing) so you might say it has a tradition of tourism. Today’s Jelsa is also the seat of municipality ...
