A wonderful place for arrivals and departures, a place to enjoy the sunset with great strength in your heart. Incredibly in love.
This is Croatia’s largest seaport and serves as a key logistical gateway between inland Europe and the Mediterranean. The earliest records of the port date back to 1281. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it functioned as a major port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From World War II until 1991, it was one of the primary ports of Yugoslavia. Since Croatia’s independence in 1991, it has firmly established itself as the nation’s principal maritime hub.
Smaller port with lots of scenic costal roads just a short drive away.
Visited as part of a cruise. Nice welcome from local people in national costume, a little band and offering a taste of local produce. Easy walk into the town which has some lovely baroque architecture. Also a moving memorial to the Croatian War of Independence.
Passing through Croatia in our trip from Paris to Bulgaria. this is a really nice stop and you can buy food near the port, then go hear and relax in the shade of the walls! Very scenic view!
