If you believe that Mallorca is just this tacky party island, you definitely need my guide on how to see the island’s most mesmerizing hideouts in just one week.
One Week in MALLORCA – Guide to the Island’s Mesmerizing Hideouts
Category: EUROPE
POREC – Venice’s Little Sister in Croatia
Technically speaking, Porec, Venice‘s little sister, was the fourth stop on my tour through Croatia.
My trip had begun in Hamburg from where I went by train and busses via Munich, Ljubljana, and Zagreb to the Adriatic coast.
Hence, I was looking forward to going to Poreč.
It has this Italian history and a very cute, atmospheric little town with incredibly beautiful architecture. Most importantly, it’s on the coast and has beaches.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Guide to CRES, a Magical Island in the Adriatic Sea
Just an hour from the Croatian mainland, you’ll find unspoiled nature, coastal towns, and clear waters on the island of Cres, a truly magical place in the Adriatic Sea.
Guide to PLITVICE LAKES: Waters in Dreamlike Colors
I’ve seen a lot of beautiful places in my time – oceans, mountains, jungles, and also lakes. However, the Plitvice National Park is one of the most beautiful sceneries I’ve ever laid eyes on. So come on, let me guide you through the National Park of Plitvice and awe at lakes and pools in their dreamlike colors.
Guide to KRKA National Park and SKRADIN
Krka, green paradise nestled between the hills and mountains of Central Dalmatia. Here, even the way can be the goal, since a picturesque trail connects the National Park with the idyllic small coastal town of Skradin. So let me guide you through impressively rich habitats full of endemic bushes, trees, grasses, and wallflowers.
Guide to SPLIT, a Coastal City That Has It All
Let me guide you to Split, another one of these many Croatian cities that seem to have it all: Rich history presented in a well-preserved, breathtakingly beautiful old town. Colorful farmers’ markets sell fresh produce to restaurants that prepare the most delish meals. Lush woods as well as nice beaches – and all that within the city limits. And a posh harbor – the gateway to splendid destinations beyond the sea.
Nevertheless, visiting Split, I had to check it out in a….split second.
This Way to the Whole Story ->PALMA de MALLORCA – what to see in two days
Since I’m afraid that the capital Palma de Mallorca might be the most underrated place on the entire island, I urge you to spend at least two days in this vibrant’n’wonderful city – and don’t worry: From Palma, you’ll quickly get to all the other magnificent places the island has to offer – even by public bus!
From the beginning, I wanted to do things differently. I didn’t want to roast on beaches, getting wasted on Sangria made from cheap wine, surrounded by party people from Germany, France, and Great Britain.
Mallorca is a Spanish island. I was keen on experiencing Spain with all my five senses. I wasn’t searching for the extraordinary, but wanted to dive headfirst into the common!
What better place to do so than a standard Spanish city full of local day-to-day routines.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Guide to DUBROVNIK, the Lustrous Pearl of Dalmatia
Guide to Dubrovnik, the Lustrous Pearl of Dalmatia. It was the grand finale of my bus road trip along the Adriatic coast.
Despite the large crowds and the flaws that come with tourist sellouts that overshadowed my stay a bit.
This Way to the Whole Story ->Mallorca’s East Coast Bay by Bay: Cala Santanyí, Cala Llombards, Cala Figuera
Apart from long sandy beaches, there is an amazing number of picturesque coves surrounding the island, and on Mallorca‘s east coast, you can even explore them hiking from bay to bay – from Cala Llombards to Cala Santanyí to Cala Figuera.
Hiking through the rural Hinterland between fields lined by olive and almond trees and Mallorca’s iconic terrace orchards, you’ll most certainly break a sweat. No problem, since the turquoise waters of the countless picturesque bays are awaiting you to take a refreshing dip.
