I have many great plans for this summer, but this year I’m not going for a two-weeks seaside holidays anywhere. So a long weekend on Brac island was the closest I got and once again, I fell in love with the Dalmatian coast. We stayed in Bol, but also took a boat ride to Hvar and Vis, visited Modra Špilja, Biševo and got to swim in unbelievable spots around the Dalmatian islands …

So long, Riva.
I’ve learned that life has its own ways. Things will fall apart and fall together, only when the time is right. So it took me a bit longer to visit Riva again – but I always knew I’ll be back. This place is a dream, no pictures can do it justice. Besides being insanely photogenic, it’s also a perfect spot for an active holiday and we sure made the most out of our two-night stay …
Long weekends in short.
After celebrating my 30th b-day in Rome back in March, I got to enjoy in a couple of amazing weekend getaways in April and May. The weather in the past few months was not good, at all, but somehow we got lucky while staying in Croatian Istria and while exploring around Bovec. In Istria, we hiked around Cape Kamenjak, again (it’s my favorite place!) …
Pasta for a b-day cake!
I honestly wouldn’t mind! The amount of carbs I’ve had on our trip to Rome was pretty epic. I mean, when in Italy, any diet should really go out of the window. All that pasta, pizza, and ice cream are far too good not to enjoy it – however, on my birthday, I was surprised with a cake as well. I knew I wanted to make a leap into a new decade somewhere abroad traveling …
Rocky Capo Testa.
While staying in Palau for our last few days in Sardinia, Capo Testa was definitely our favorite spot we visited around here. It’s the farthest point of Northeastern Sardinia and with clear weather, your sight can even reach Corsica. I read that it’s popular for its views and interesting hiking terrain – but you just don’t expect it to be so dramatic …
An ode to La Maddalena.
Pictures don’t even make this stunning islands justice, no camera can capture how raw and wild and beautiful it is over there. After spending a few days at La Maddalena archipelago, I am putting this place on my ideal holiday spot list. The coastline is rocky which I love, to the best bays you have to (of course, learned that already) hike and …
Shades of blue.
Cala, meaning small bay, is my new favorite word. And Sardinia seems to be full of them! But most spectacular ones you’ll find on the Eastern coast, in the Ogliastra area. Today we already hiked to another one of them – Cala Luna. Set against a backdrop of steep limestone cliffs and caves, it is pretty amazing as well. But this post is about Cala Goloritze …
Canyon Gorropu
This spectacular canyon wasn’t really in our plans – but after all the hiking on West, we quickly figured that Sardinia has more to offer than just turquoise clear blue seas. And as we are currently staying so close to the National Park of Orosei and Gennargentu, we simply had to see what it has to offer. We started our hike at Genna Silana pass …
Wild West.
After a few days on the Western coast of Sardinia, we are leaving for East tomorrow. At the beginning, we were struggling with finding a camp that would suit our needs, but finally found quite a special place to stay. Camping at Torre del Porticciolo hasn’t only been a great starting point for our trips around Alghero and visiting La Pelosa on the North, it’s a rather …
Breath in. Breath out.
We’re off! Already in Sardinia actually. We couldn’t have picked a better location for our summer holidays – it’s different and it’s wild. All I need at times like this when my mind is tired and needs some real time off. It’s been crazy lately, so many things kept my body and heart busy … But distance really does it, a few days on this island …
