We continue on our exploration of food along the Croatian coast. Seafood was a must again, obviously, but we also discovered that lamb was no slouch either. Overall, we found food prices in Split more affordable than Dubrovnik, but no less tasty.
Read MoreThe jewel of Split’s old town is the beautiful Diocletian’s Palace. Diocletian was the only Roman Emperor to make it to retirement, and he built this place to spend his remaining years enjoying seaside views and cabbages from his garden.
Read MoreWe’ve done the walls of Dubrovnik, Old Town, Lokrum, and an Elaphiti island. What else could be left to add to our list of favorite corners? Read on, my friend, read on…
Read MoreA total of 16 islands make up the archipelago of the Elaphiti Islands. However, only three islands can be visited by local ferry from Dubrovnik: Kolocep, Lopud, and Sipan.
Read MoreOur food experience here was all about proximity. Dubrovnik’s proximity to the coast meant amazingly fresh seafood and its proximity across the Adriatic Sea from Italy meant that we found a few familiar dishes we’d been craving.
Read MoreLokrum is a tiny island a 15-minute ferry ride from the port in Old Town. A lot has happened here over the years. Originally home to a Benedictine monastery dating back to 1023. Richard the Lionheart was apparently stranded here in 1192.
Read MoreWe stepped back in time to a 13th-century walled city perched on the sea. There are no cars allowed inside and even though over a million tourists visit per year, if you go early enough, there’s still magic to be found. And maybe a dragon or two.
Read MoreOne of the things that constantly came up in our research was that walking the 1,940 meters on top of the Dubrovnik City walls was a must-do.
Read MoreDublin is a beautiful compact city with most of its sites situated within walkable distance in the city center or a quick train ride away. Despite its small size, this city is steeped in history and makes it very accessible (free museum lovers, rejoice). From ancient artifacts dating back to 6000 B.C. to Viking sites to the more Guinness Storehouse, there is much to discover in this 'Land of Saints and Scholars’.
Read MoreDublin is known for its fair share of rainy grey days (even though we had some gorgeous sunny ones in October). The food here seems built to ward off the chill of inclement weather and does warm, hearty, and filling at its best.
Read MoreWe were in Porto for two weeks, which is a long time for us to stay in one city. We wanted to try a slower paced travel, to try to live a little longer in a place instead of just seeing the highlights.
Read MoreOn a map, Espinho station and Granja station were just two train stops we needed to pass through on our way to Aveiro.
