    Good morning Stomorska

    21. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    I couldn’t believe it: no power outage today 🤣.

    Barbara asked we to go for a hike but the water is calling me and the weather is best for hanging around in at at the water. Additionally I can walk along both sides of the shore and one spot is nicer than the other - so why should I go up into the hills away from my beloved liquid blueness?

    So I already went shopping for the weekend, now I’m sitting on my round pole position balcony sipping my iced coffee and will soon walk through the sleeping harbor (like yesterday, when I took the last 6 fotos) to the cliffs for swimming and observing the fish 🐟🐠 - of course I have my mask with me 🤿.

    I think I‘m preparing myself for the 4 weeks at the south coast of Crete in November 🤣.    Les mer

    Restoran Turanj

    21. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    Tonight we ate fish in a restaurant called Turanj.

    We opted for tuna on grilled vegetables and ordered a portion of Dalmatian mangel as a side dish. The tuna was really delicious and the mangel had lots of garlic and was very tasty.

    The restaurant is built right on the water with a perfect view on the harbor and if the lighting hadn't been so bright, which is not unusual here in southern Europe, it would have been the perfect location.

    But fortunately the lighting didn't detract from the culinary enjoyment. It was delicious!    Les mer

    Continue with the lazy sunday

    22. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    Keep going, there is nothing to see here except a woman lazing around in a hammock and snorkeling for hours along the rocks to watch fish.

    Gospa od Stomorija

    23. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    When I sit here on the balcony, I can hear the church bells ringing every day. I can't see the church tower from the balcony, but the church is only 150m down the road.

    My apartment is on the slope of Vela Straža and immediately below the peak of Vela Straža is the former Benedictine monastery of Sv. Marij.

    The monastery was first mentioned in documents in 1260. After the abbey was merged with the archdeaconry of Split in the middle of the 15th century, the brotherhood subsequently disbanded.

    The beautiful church 'Gospa od Stomorija' was built on the same spot in 1776. The remains of a Roman sarcophagus can also be admired at the adjacent cemetery.

    Another thing to see there is the village boules court, where the tanned men of the village play boules every day. I wonder if they ever wear shirts in everyday life 🤣.    Les mer

    Maslinica

    24. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Today we took the bus via Grohote to Maslinica. Maslinica is located in the far west and is also a small fishing village like Stomorska.

    The difference is, that it is very popular with motor yacht owners. This naturally gives the place a very touristy flair and although there is not much to find, there are two souvenir shops.

    Maslinica has 208 inhabitants and the castle Martinis Marchi is now a luxury hotel with marina for about 60 boats.

    Nevertheless, the place is beautifully situated between the rocks and the water has a very special turquoise color.

    In the 19th century the best wine of the island came from Maslinica.    Les mer

    Šipova

    24. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C

    If you walk north out of the village of Maslinica you will come to a sandy beach called Šipova.

    On the way there you follow a coastal path that runs between the houses and the rocks. At this time of year there are not many people there and so you can plunge into the turquoise water and enjoy the sea 🌊, the sun ☀️ and the peace and quiet.

    In summer you will probably hardly be able to escape the tourists.    Les mer

    Amazing stars

    25. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ 🌙 22 °C

    The sun sets at around seven in the evening.

    The lamps along the harbor gradually light up, the clouds get darker and stand out against the still blue sky as they move along the mountain ridge.

    Then more and more stars appear. In one week there is a new moon and there is very little residual light in Stomorska. This is why the constellations in the sky are very clearly visible. Since the balcony has no roof and offers a direct view of the sky, you can observe the stars from our balcony amazingly 🤩.Les mer

    Divers solidarity

    26. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Two days ago we took the bus to Maslinica. We spent a wonderful day there in the small bays and of course I wore my goggles to watch the fish.

    When I travel with little luggage like here, I take my goggles with me rather than my diving mask. I even leave my snorkel at home because I have a very good grasp of free diving.

    Unfortunately, I left my goggles there in the bay. Of course, I only noticed this when I got home. I love my goggles, but I have to admit that after 20 years they were very scratched. Nevertheless, I was pretty lost watching the fish without goggles.

    When I strolled to my favorite bay yesterday, I watched the divers from the local diving center unloading their diving boat. Cheeky as I am, I asked the diving instructor if he could lend me an old diving mask for a few days. After I congratulated him on his beautiful wing jacket, he asked me if I knew anything about it. I said I was a cave diver. He gave me an old diving mask and said that I should just bring it back in a few days.

    He didn't want to rent it. He didn't even take a deposit of €20. Aaaaaand... it is pink! Isn't that great? Divers of all countries, unite!    Les mer

    Is Šolta worth a travel?

    27. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    Soon we'll be heading home, so it's time to recap whether Šolta is worth a trip.

    For those looking for peace and relaxation, Šolta is definitely worth a trip. The island exudes a great sense of calm, everything is wonderfully calm. No big hotels, no party locations.

    The bus runs every 2 hours at best (unless you're staying in Nečujam). There is only a "big" supermarket in the main town of Grohote in the middle of the island. There is also the only butcher on the island. But the "big" supermarket isn't necessary at all, because the small shops in the villages are perfectly adequate for everyday needs.

    Stomorska is the largest and oldest fishing village and, unlike Maslinica, is not frequented by expensive sailing boats, but by "normal" ones. You can rent scooters and bicycles on the island, of course best in Rogač, where you arrive by ferry.

    If you don't want to wait for the bus, you can also get a taxi or transfer there. But the bus is waiting for the ferry and people are generally waiting for each other. Nevertheless, everything runs on time.

    There are relaxed little boat and snorkeling tours and also a diving center in Stomorska. There are also small restaurants and small cafes, and there are a manageable and sufficient number of them. No crowds anywhere, but enough choice.

    If you don't want to cook, you can always go out to eat; in Stomorska there were 5-6 restaurants open and the choice was definitely sufficient. All of them are very pretty and offer their own flair and view. In August it might be a bit busier.

    You can get by well without a car, but after the 10th day I would think about getting a vehicle, because then you might be bored to explore the immediate surroundings. You can get around the island by bus, but the frequency is a bit too restrictive in the long run.

    So if you're expecting a hustle and bustle, you're in the wrong place. If you're expecting a cozy island life with beautiful bays, fish, birds, nice people and nice villages, this is the place for you. It was just right for me.    Les mer

    Homemade olive oil

    28. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    It rained 🌦️ this afternoon. That's why I didn't go snorkeling 🐟🏊🐠 and was able to return the diving mask 🤿. In the meantime, our landlady brought up a small parting gift 🎁. Rosemary 🌿, lemons 🍋, bay leaves 🌱 and grapes 🍇from the own garden and homemade olive oil 🫒. Isn't that sweet? 😍Les mer

    Bye bye Šolta

    29. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

    That looks like a lot of waves but it's easy peasy. The ferry is big enough, so it shakes only slightly.

    It takes one hour to go to Split, there I will go for a last coffee in the harbor and then take the bus to Split airport.

    Today we habe a special deep blue ocean 😍 - perfect for the farewell 👋.    Les mer

    Bye bye Croatia

    29. september 2024, Kroatia ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    My flight will leave at 8pm and now I'm sitting at the airport.

    Split-Kaštela Airport is the most important airport in the country. It serves as the hub of Croatia Airlines. It is located between Trogir and Kaštela, about 12 kilometers northwest of Split, and was opened for air traffic in 1966 and a new terminal opened in 1991.

    Before the new terminal was expanded, the airport had a 14,000 square meter arrival and departure hall; at 45,000 square meters, the successor is now more than three times as large.

    Not only is it a very beautiful airport, but it is also manageable and well equipped - with enough power sockets!

    It's a shame that my vacation is already over, because it's cold and raining in Hamburg - but in a month I'll be back in the sun 🌞 so I'm not really sad and I'm also very much looking forward meeting my love ❤️.    Les mer

    Hello Hamburg!

    29. september 2024, Tyskland ⋅ ☁️ 9 °C

    Home sweet home, everything went pretty smooth 🥰.
    5 minutes waiting for my suitcase, 10 minutes until the subway left and no waiting when changing.
    A lot of leaves 🍁🍁🍁 are lying around and 18° in my apartment since the heating is off. I think I have to adapt 🤣.Les mer
