THIS IS CROATIA | Exploring The Istria Peninsula 

This coast line reminds me of Okrug Gornji. You should meet up with Canada born, but Crotia resident RU-vidr @ThisisBunjo. He's out there in Trogir doing big things and he already gave you a mention in one of his earlier videos. Stay blessed Gabe.

Gabriel, when you reach Rovinj, take time to walk through the park that is south of the harbour, past the big German hotel marina complex, down to the quarry where people do rock climbing and you can see cormorants sititng on the rocky islands.

@@stevo728822 That's a great suggestion Stevo.

Great video by the way Gabe! 😀 Thanks for the Awesome Footage.

Thank you for this video, from Egypt with love

Very cool, what a trip. I headed east from there so am not in the area now.

@@GabrielTravelerVideos Maybe next time. All the best on your travels!

@Darko Ulmer thank you..🔔🔔

Josip thanks! Beautiful

"Croatia 🇭🇷 May just be the most beautiful country in the entire world!" Does have its moments. It's a small country, relatively speaking, but geographically, it varies a lot.

And look at their roads, NO POT HOLES!!!!!! Lol. Boulevard Saint-Jean is worse than Kabul at night, I tell you.

Thx za podjelu*👍

@@vjc4964 tThx i tebi lafe i uzivaj ..Ok..👌🌿💕🍁🍷✌

You'll have a lot of variety to see and experience. Istria is sort of like Tuscany. Then my city of Rijeka, which is the European capital of culture for this year - 2020. It's an amazing city in every respect! Architecture, culture, people, open, welcoming multicultural tolerant spirit, happiness and carnivals like Venice, underground rock scene (it's like Croatian Seattle) and so much more. On top of that, it is the main Croatian container port. I'm disappointed Gabe actually went to Rijeka and showed literally nothing of it. It is a bit larger city than others he had visited in Croatia, but it isn't big - population is approx. 200,000. Smaller than Split. The city is an eclectic fusion of central Europe and Mediterranean. If you're into island hopping, make sure to visit north Adriatic islands too, not just Dalmatian ones. Dalmatia is typical Mediterranean, beautiful, colorful and vibrant. Southern Dalmatia is where Dubrovnik is at. North of Rijeka which is where Gabe ends up in this video, iz Gorski Kotar. It's a mountainous, highland, wooded area - sort of like a hybrid between Austria, Scotland and Pacific Northwest. Wonderful nature and great hiking opportunities! As you go deeper into the continental part of Croatia, you get to Karlovac and then the capital - Zagreb. It is typical central Europe, Austria-Hungary type of architecture and loads of things to see and do, with one of the best preserved medieval old towns in Europe and an awesome downtown. Slavonia - starts about 100km east of Zagreb, is like Hungary...at that point you're in the so called Panonian basin, flat planes, wide fields, very cool woods at the heart of it and a super interesting nature reserve at the easternmost part called Kopački rit, along the banks of the Danube, just to the northeast of the Slavonian regional capital of Osijek. Also, another region people often miss, but is amazing, is Zagorje - to the north of Zagreb. It's a picturesque hilly area, a wine country and full of medieval, renaissance and baroque castles. I would say that is a must see in Croatia. Slavonia also has those castles as do other parts of Croatia, but nowhere is there such a concentration of them in a relatively small area. Varaždin is a charming baroque city in that region and another possible point of interest might be the museum of Neanderthals in Krapina, Zagorje. It's at the site of one of the largest, most important, most ample finds of Neanderthal remains in all of Europe and the world...at the level of the Neander Valley in Germany, El Sidron in Spain or La Ferrassie in France. For example: out of altogether around 400 Neanderthal individuals found in the entire world, 75 come from this one site in Vindija Cave near Krapina, Croatia. Hope I gave you some idea of what is it like and where to go. Welcome to Croatia and enjoy your stay!!

BRIONI

@@davorlekenik9563, you are wrong, it's Brijuni.

@@davorlekenik9563 drug tita je tu bančio ,šenlučio ,drage goste primao ☎️

my guess, it was noon

I showed Motovun in this video. I almost went to Groznjan as well since it was nearby, but I ran out of time.

Right on, glad to hear it. Safe travels.

Man Croatia is very different from the rest of the Balkan countries...Croatia and Albania are both on Balkan, but Croatia is probably more like Finland than Albania.

plan your trip and pack your bags. Croatia is better for EU retirees than Spain or Florida. Relaxed and normal people.

No, it is because Finland has the euro. That s why Finland is so fucked up.

Don’t bring up that scamdemic covid 19 you ruin the guys video and visit🤨

It is a very safe country to live in and sparsely populated, so you would be fine. Just stay informed in this few years before retirement because you never know what will politicians decide and if they decide to settle 100-200 000 "refugees" here, then it is better to stay at home.
