I finally watched Martin ScorceseвЂ™s film, вЂњ Silence,вЂќ based on a novel by Shusaku Endo about the persecution of Christians during the Edo Period of Japanese history. I learned of the existence of the Goto Islands in 2018. Approaching Goto city by overnight ferry, prepare for some amazing sunrise scenes. Many of GotoвЂ™s historical inhabitants had good reason not to draw unnecessary attention to their home, preferring to keep it hidden. In fact, several of my Japanese friends admit to having little knowledge about the islands, and perhaps this was by design.

Talk to you soon, Mik And what matches better with the crystal-clear water than the PACK EASY Go4 in the color lake? The light blue softshell trolley with dual wheels, various outside pockets and expandable pleat is the ideal companion for your next island adventure. Hopefully I managed to make the diverse islands of Croatia a little tempting for you. But there is nothing like the gorgeous scent and the splendid color of the lavender fields spreading over the island. Furthermore, the island is famous for its wine and olive growing. The sunniest island in the Adriatic has lovely bays and beaches as well as a diverse underwater world for diving and snorkeling to offer and is great for sailors and wind surfers. It has already been nominated several times of being one of the most beautiful islands of the world. One cannot count Hvar as an insider tip anymore but I just could not deprive this paradisiacal island. And if you are lucky you might see the dolphins jumping out of the water. You find shopping facilities as well as some cute restaurants in the small village. Around 300 inhabitants live here and share some stunning sand or pebble beaches with crystal waters and few tourists. So, this little island with its 15 km2 is within easy walking distance by wonderful hiking trails. In the main season, July and August even bicycles are forbidden. The island Silba is a small and quiet idyll, where no cars are allowed. One of the most beautiful beaches in the Adriatic called Juzno Zlato as well as Stara Vlaka, a pebbly bay on the north side of the island are easily accessible through stunning hiking trails and perfect for a relaxing day. Because of the subtropical weather with mild winters and hot summers, the flora and fauna are unique.

Due to its maritime location the nature reserve has an atypical climate compared to the rest of Croatia. There is a lighthouse on top of a 90-meter mountain which is the main landmark of the island. The island PalagruЕѕa lies 124 km south of Split and is therefore furthest from the mainland.

Juresko plan on making it possible for lovebirds to get married on the heart-island. This natural phenomenon is located near the city of Zadar and has two small mooring for boats and a pebbly sand beach to offer. With a maximum expansion of 500 meters it surely is a mini-island but nevertheless is it perfect for a romantic picnic and for acting as Robinson Crusoe for a day. Not until Google Earth вЂњdiscoveredвЂќ the island in 2004 did the privately-owned island start to attract people. Hard to believe, but the island GalenЕЎnja is heart-shaped by nature. And since a single selection is not easy when having such a great variety, I decided to pick four different ones. Each island has something different to offer and has its own charm. Given the variety almost all needs can be covered вЂ“ whether that is snorkeling, hiking or culture. Yet there are not only the well-known ones like Rab, Cres or Krk but also additional 1241 islands, like pearls along the coast. Furthermore, all the islands off the coast are sought-after holiday destinations. Cities like Zadar, Dubrovnik and Split are popular getaways and the beautiful coastal towns attract many tourists from all over the world. Croatia, the wonderful and varied country on the Adriatic, obviously isnвЂ™t an insider tip anymore.
