Very nice video and very happy that you enjoyed the Island. The bread is absolutely amazing, and we would take trips to Silba to go to the Disco, and get their bread. Been going there for quite a long time and it’s awesome to see tourists there exploring the islands natural beauty. Thank you for posting this.
My family is from Olib!! Amazing to see people exploring the island of my grandparents. So glad you enjoyed a place where I have spent many summers - I hope to go back soon
Jay, While you were in Olib, you said you had no idea why they built so many walls. My parents, both born there, said those stone walls were built to clear the land so they could grow vegetables and fruit - potatoes, kale, olives, figs, tomatoes, etc. Also, they used the stone walls to corral their animals and to designate their properties. Thanks for taking us on a tour of Olib!
So much work! It was amazing to see such old structures everywhere that's for sure. We figured a lot of it was for soil management so it wouldn't all wash away and to create tiers. We guessed some were for animals and properties as well but some of the walls were over 2 meters tall! My week in Olib is still one of my favorite times in Croatia.
My grandfather was born in Olib in 1894. He came to America in Sept.1909. His name is John Budesa. My father was his son, Samuel Budesa. Is that a popular name in Olib My name is Dolores Bunting
We actually went to both of those. Slatanica bay was jam packed with boats! I think we counted 12 at one point so we swam way off to the side. Siroki was nice but also had a few boats but we did spend more time there. It's amazing how many beaches are within walking distance of town. We totally loved this island. That bread too was so amazing and for so cheap! I could eat it every day.
My name was Alias because no suggested names really stuck so I had several. I should tell the first time we held hand story at some point! It's not your usual holding hands story.
You are living the life then! Just last night I talked to Tina about that area. Have you tried that pumpkin seed bread from the market? I still miss that. I think it's still the best non-sweetened bread I've ever had.

@Nela, is It possibile ti have a contact phone or social to Ask you some about the Island?
Vert thanks
No sharks!
I guess there are some sharks in the Adriatic Sea but no tiger or white so it's super safe. We were more afraid of those sea urchins!
