Sunsets in Kaldir

A summer evening is a glass of wine, a delicious snack, good music, a team and a sunset. The sun goes down low, Istria turns golden. Wines are in glasses, snacks are on the table, music is playing. "We are here on the edge of Kaldir and we have a unique view. It would be a shame not to take advantage of it. But the point is not only the sunset. The point is for people to socialize, taste wine, eat good food, chat and maybe stay longer than they planned. If that happens, we ha

Restaurant Kovács: where the Danube comes to the table

If you come to Mohács for the food, you will quickly realize that it is difficult to separate the local cuisine from the Danube. The river here is much more than a landscape that passes by the city. It is part of its history, everyday life and identity, and for centuries it has also determined what will be on the plates. That is why the Kovács restaurant is an interesting place to start getting acquainted with the gastronomy of Mohács. It does not try to make something specta

Retro Fishing Festival in Medveja

Summer on the Adriatic brings hundreds of folk festivals. Almost every place has its own event, live music, food stands and the inevitable smells of the grill. But precisely because many of them are increasingly similar to each other, those that have remained true to their own identity stand out in particular. One of them is held in Medveja, a small Kvarner town at the foot of Mount Učka, where organizers have been nurturing a simple but very clear rule for years – no ćevapi

Tavern Baća and the Original Ston Cake

Ston has a special smell. The smell of salt carried by the wind from the Ston salt pans, fresh oysters from the Mali Ston Bay and the buzara slowly simmering in the kitchen. It is precisely this combination of the sea, tradition and local cuisine that leads to Konoba Baća, one of the oldest restaurants in Ston. While many restaurants in southern Dalmatia are open only during the tourist season, Konoba Baća keeps its doors open year-round. That is why locals, fishermen, winema

Julia Vysotska - The Chef Who Makes People Sail Across the Adriatic

As the first guests watch the sun slowly rise over the Adriatic over their morning coffee, the smells of freshly baked bread, homemade pastries, butter, herbs and freshly prepared specialties are already wafting from the ship's galley. A few hours later, those same smells will be replaced by the aroma of lightly grilled fish, rich sauces, meats cooked for hours at low temperatures and desserts that look as if they have just arrived from the showcase of a top pastry shop.

Drinking at altitude

Six hours of flight. What to do? If you've already watched a movie, slept as much as you could, and are listlessly leafing through the drinks catalog in the pocket of the seat in front of you, you'll probably be tempted to order a glass of wine, beer, or cocktail. For many passengers, a drink is a symbol of the beginning of a vacation – the first sip at 10,000 meters signifies that work, obligations, and everyday life have been left far below the clouds. However, what is ofte
