Late summer scenes from Krka National Park, Croatia, the perfect little day trip from Split. 

Tip: this park is no hidden gem so get here as it opens to avoid the crowds. The park is small, walkways are narrow so when it gets crowded it gets CROWDED 😅

If you’re still undecided when it comes to where to go this summer, then you need to visit this Greek island. 

Just an hour fast ferry ride from Athens, this Saronic island has all vibes; no cars, iconic sunsets, galleries and art, delicious restaurants and insanely clear water. I still can’t stop thinking about my time there this month. 

📍 Hydra, Greece
