Zagreb Christmas Market (Advent) 2022 will shine again

St. Mark's Church in the Upper Town

Last year's Zagreb Christmas Market was modest to say the least, and I must admit that many were disappointed along with me. One reason was because everyone was still a bit reserved because of Covid 19, but in my opinion there could have been more to see and do throughout Advent last year.

This is why we were so happy to hear Mayor Tomašević's announcement that the Zagreb Christmas Market is returning to its old ways this year! In fact, it could even be the most diverse yet with lots to offer!

So you’re thinking about a Croatian vacation? Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar… but how are you going to get around? How are the roads, trains, buses, ferries? We’re here to give you a run-down of different forms of transportation in Croatia!

Generally speaking, Croatia is not a big country, so it’s pretty easy to get from place to place. The means of transport are relatively modern by today's world standards, and during the tourist season, from around May to mid-October, the frequency in bus/train/ferry lines definitely increases.

Are there any sharks in the Adriatic Sea

Sharks in the Adriatic Sea are a normal and not bad phenomenon in the water. Sharks very rarely attack humans. We know it's not very pleasant when you feel something touch you while swimming in the sea, but maybe some facts in this text will calm you down. Since records exist, in 150 years, sharks in the Adriatic have been responsible for the deaths of 11 swimmers. The last shark attack was recorded in 2008 in a bay on island Vis. Although the Slovenian diver claimed to have been attacked by a great white shark, this has never been proved.
