🦒 Raffi’s Top Things To Do in Croatia

1. 🏰 Walk the Walls of Dubrovnik

This medieval marvel (aka King’s Landing in Game of Thrones) is perched dramatically above the sea. Walk the city walls at sunset — trust me, it’s magical. 💛

2. 🛶 Swim & Kayak in the Adriatic Sea

Crystal-clear and crazy blue — the Adriatic is perfect for kayaking, swimming, or just floating lazily. Try sea kayaking around Dubrovnik or the Pakleni Islands!

3. 🏞️ Chase Waterfalls at Plitvice Lakes National Park

Wooden walkways wind through lush forest and turquoise lakes. It’s like a fairytale you can walk through. 🌿💦

4. ⛴️ Island Hop from Split

Split is a fun, ancient city — and the perfect launchpad to visit Hvar (glamorous), Vis (laid-back), or Brač (hello, white-stone beaches!). 🚤

5. 🍽️ Eat Peka and Sip Local Wine

Peka is a traditional Croatian dish slow-cooked under a bell-shaped lid — often octopus or lamb. Pair it with a glass of Plavac Mali wine, and you're golden. 😋

6. 🎶 Catch a Summer Festival

Croatia throws some epic beach festivals. Think dancing by the sea at Ultra Europe or chilling with indie vibes in Outlook Festival. 🕺🎧

✨ Bonus Fun Fact

Croatia has the world’s smallest town — Hum, population ~20! Worth a quick visit (and a selfie with the town sign, of course).

💡 Raffi’s Travel Tip:

The shoulder seasons (May–June and September–October) are ideal. Fewer crowds, perfect weather, and the Adriatic is still warm. Win-win!

📸 Final Word:

Croatia is like a great travel playlist — every stop hits a different mood. Relaxing, adventurous, romantic, wild… you just pick your vibe, and Croatia delivers. 🌊🍇🦒
