Went on a holiday to Croatia about 8 years ago and it is such a beautiful country. I remember loving the how mountains and the sea look over there. Also was impressed by how the highway goes along the coast up on the mountains
I cannot believe how many wonderful memories I get when I watch your blogs. I say to myself I took.tjat picture, I walked those streets. I even ate at some of the same food. Thank you.Steve.and Ivana
The drive along that coast is really something else ❤ rented a house few kilometers south from Omiš some years ago and drove up and down the coastline for a week.
Krka is home the Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant Jaruga Hydroelectric Power Plant is a hydroelectric power plant on river Krka, located in Šibenik-Knin County, in central Dalmatia, Croatia. The first European hydroelectric power plant was built in Croatia (many[1] people worked together to make this possible). According to Nikola Tesla's patents, it was operational two days after Niagara Falls' installation of the first hydroelectric power plant in the world. A turbine, two generators (42 Hz, 550 kW) and a transformer made by the Hungarian company Ganz were built under the Skradinski Buk waterfall. The Jaruga is one of the oldest power-generating facilities in the world. Its present location dates back to 1903 when it was moved from the nearby original Jaruga power station built in 1895.
Looks so nice! We are in Dubrovnik right now (followed you from back home in Finland 😉) and went to see the old town today. Tomorrow we'll drive to Split and make a stop at Brela on the way. We might go to a Hajduk Split football game there in the evening if we can buy tickets at the stadium. Then maybe stay one night there and come back to Dubrovnik on monday.
@@JetLagWarriors It was amazing. We stopped at Brela and still made it to the Hajduk Split game in the evening. The home team won and the ultras kept singing through the whole game. It was quite the experience. We found a nice little hotel by the beach and will take the same route back to Dubrovnik tomorrow. Maybe stop for a swim somewhere along the way. Croatia is amazing and I'm glad we'll get to be here for another week 👌
I was born in Split, Dalmatia. Glad you liked it. Our sea is called Adriatic sea. Diocletian was not just an emperior, he wanted to retired in a unique place, that's why he called his privete shaman priestes to choose him a unique spot in part of the world to have his last rest. Croatia is not Balkan. It is South-West european region. You have to try better food, we have some great specialties. You eat on a market as I see. I've treveled around during my lifetime... Must say our nature is still better then anywhere else (exept NZ and Oceania). Greatings from Zurich.
Thank You for the very good videos. Have you notice that youtube can nowadays make subtitles automaticly? It's just click click click from the settings and subtitles are done. You can check those and make some fixes here and there, if needed. Then you can also make translations for many languages and it will work very well. I think for the travelling channel this is very good update, because you have followers from many different countries..
I was botn in Split. Ive grown to love nearby Trogir more. Mainly because its just as old but more chill. Less crowds. Dubrovnik was nice long ago before the cruise ships came and they started charging rip off prices just to walk the wall.
I like Split way better than Dubrovnik…and I like Zadar even more…if you have the chance to go, try to catch the ferry to Dugi Otoki Island and check out Sakarun Beach
Split is like 5 times bigger than Dubrovnik. And has everything possible to offer. Its crowd not bcs Split is small, bcs there is much more people in Split in old town. But you dont have to go in old town, you can explore all around 20km diameter, you woulndt belive what you find.
9:18 -Imagine all of these + rakija, wine, beer... garlic as well as onion here, all salads, ajvar, lamb and pork turning together over fire and watching football with Croats and they are winning the game. Outstanding! AK-47 riffle fire, kisses, harmony and crazy love between people. Probably I will never, ever go so close to that... even in AI programs...
Serbs did the biggest gnosd in the history of balkans (srebrenica, vukovar, kosovo) officially recognized by the UN. - 200.000 croats and other non-serbs (czechs, slovaks, hungarians etc.) ethnic cleansed in by serbs - 800.000 bosniaks and croats ethnic cleansed by serbs (srebrenica, bijeljina, sarajevo, kozravac, prijedor, foca, visegrad, zvornik, banja luka, jajce, posavina etc.) - 1.000.000 albanians and kosovars ethnic cleansed by serbs in 1998-1999
Yeah blew my mind to in 2019 That's why I'm going back there this August for 2 weeks. And the best bit it cost me £190..and my long time friend has a place there.
The palace is 1700 years old, but most of the actual structures were built over ancient foundations and are usually medieval or younger, as people have been living there the whole time. Some of the most representative buildings are indeed 1700 years old, its just that they arent really used for accomodation.
hello amigos, are you planning to come back to Romania? if you do please i would to love to get to know you. I live in Brasov Transilvania and i am from Brazil!!!!!
Unfortunately, we won't be coming back to Romania until next year. Soon, we will be heading back to Canada so Ivana can give birth !! :D . But, we will certainly be back in Romania one day... and Brazil for that matter! -- Two of our favorite countries :)
Dubrovnik was rebuilt after an earthquake in 16. Century, Palace of Diocletian out of which Split grew into a medieval city is just much older dating to 3rd century as you said
I love Balkans! I served as a peacekeeper looooong time ago in Kosovo and we are travelling there next week to see how it has changed. We visited Croatia and Slovenia 2023 and Macedonia 2022.
Dubrovnik is not renovated like you mentioned, it is just preserved better. Walls are built in such way that even after the war in the 90s they needed minimum repairs, few houses were wrecked in the bombings but thats it.
Yo! Pernil is an amazing sandwich. No doubt. But, a proper bifana, made by a grandma, where the pork has been marinated in wine for a few days, is unbeatable.
There is no Balkans. Ottomans were defeated by the Greece, Bulgaria, Montenegro and Serbia long time ago. In the Balkan wars 1912-14. So you wouldn't cry. There's only southeastern Europe. That's it.
All this history demolishes the myth and narrative prevalent in Serbian historiography and political elites that the Serbs were defenders of European Christianity and the main people who fought the penetration of the Ottoman invaders. Ironically, it is documented here that it was precisely the Serbs more than any other people who cooperated with the Ottomans for the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, even this assistance of the Serbs was also evidenced in the conquest of the center of orthodoxy in the East, Constantinople. fact that Giorgo Sfranze, advisor to the last Byzantine Emperor, Constantine XI, during his stay in exile in Corfu, had formulated harsh accusations against the Serbs because of their role in the sinking of Byzantium. "From different territories, Serbia has been able to secretly send money and men. Has anyone seen money? Indeed they sent money and many men, but they sent it to the emir (think Mehmet II), who was besieging the city (Constantinople). And the Turks rejoiced and said: you see, even the Serbs are against you", wrote Giorgo Sfranze. Deeply depressed, this Byzantine remembered the Serbian role in the fall of Constantinople, where Constantine XI fell fighting. Serbian elites did not practice Orthodox solidarity www.quora.com/How-many-battles-has-Serbia-been-involved-in-helping-the-Ottomans

@@firstnejm nope. all alex said was true. you cant know because current serbian leadership are the ones that perpetuated the genocide, so they perpetuate propaganda lies to cover for their war crimes.
Roman soldiers, not gladiators. Split is the capital of the roman province of Dalmatia and it is not Balkan, in fact, Croatia is mediterranean country, situated in south east Europe, it was never in Balkan. We eat here mediterranean diet wich is not pork that you had, we mostly eat fish, swiss chard, olive oil, red wine ... Hvala.

Split and Dalmatia are Balkan as Serbia is. Look at the faces of those turk descendants and compare to the rest of Balkan.
