CROATIA - ŠOLTA

Croatia is a country of dramatic mountainous landscapes and dreamy deep-blue seascapes. It has become more popular than ever as a getaway destination! Croatia occupies the largest area of the eastern coast of the Adriatic Sea which, as a part of the Mediterranean Sea, penetrates deep into the European continent. The Croatian national territory totals 56.594 km² with 31.479 km² of coastal waters for sailing, swimming and diving.

From the shores in the South Dalmatian islands bathed by the gentle sun of the Adriatic Sea to the top of Dinara, the highest peak in the country and the Mediterranean richness of the forests in Mljet, Croatia’s natural beauty never ends. Explore its eight national parks and eleven nature parks among which are the beautiful Plitvice Lakes. Its sea is the purest in Europe and some of its beaches are considered the most beautiful in the world. The timeless unspoilt nature, coupled with beautifully preserved centuries-old architecture, a lively contemporary cultural and music scene, promises incredible memories for anyone who wishes to explore.

Croatia's second-largest city, Split, is a great place to see Dalmatian life as it’s really lived. Many of you will be flying into Split as its the closest airport to Solta. Always buzzing, this exuberant city has just the right balance between tradition and modernity. Step inside Diocletian’s Palace (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world’s most impressive Roman monuments) and you’ll see dozens of bars, restaurants and shops thriving amid the atmospheric old walls where Split has been humming along for thousands of years.

The Island of Šolta is situated near Split and is the location of the wedding! With only 9 nautical miles of distance from Split, there are 6 ferry lines and 1 speedboat per day. In less than an hour, arrive at a destination with crystal clear sea, spacious pebble beaches and with affordable prices compared to the mainland. Once you have spent a relaxing day at one of the numerous beaches, head over to one of the numerous family-run farms on the island, and learn the art of making local olive oil, wine and honey.

Located directly on the waterfront, Restoran Pasarela has it all : from the exotic look of its palmtree roofing to the delicious sound of the waves lapping against the uneven rocks of this mysterious Dalmatian island, including the idyllic view upon the crystal clear water of the Adriatic Sea.
Not to mention the food, which is as tasty as the setting in which it is served is gorgeous. Pizzas are way above average, the risottos are cooked to perfection and the swordfish carpaccio is simply to-die-for.
