Croatia’s Adriatic coast is going electric — and if you’re planning a driving holiday there in 2026, that matters more than you might think. The Geely EX5 just became the second-bestselling battery electric vehicle in Australia. Back here in Europe, EV adoption is accelerating across Croatia’s tourist corridor too, with electric car hire options expanding […]
Split to Trogir is one of the shortest and most satisfying drives in Dalmatia — just 30 kilometres along the coast, taking about 25 minutes on the main road.

Driving from Zagreb to Dubrovnik is the great Croatian road trip — 610 kilometres that take you from the Austro-Hungarian Habsburg elegance of the capital, across the karst plateau of Lika, and down to the sun-baked stone walls of the Adriatic’s most famous city.

Most […]
Dubrovnik is the kind of place that stops you in your tracks. The medieval walls, the terracotta rooftops tumbling toward the Adriatic, the shuttered stone streets of the Old Town — it’s been a bucket-list destination since Game of Thrones put it on screen. But Dubrovnik is also one of the most expensive cities in […]
Opatija sits on the Kvarner Gulf like a grand old lady who still knows how to dress for dinner.

Today it’s one of Croatia’s most civilized short breaks: sophisticated enough for […]
Zagreb, Croatia’s capital, is often treated as a transit stop — somewhere to pass through on the way to the coast or Plitvice Lakes.
