Croate --> Cravate --> Cravat. No argument here, Croate --> Cravate --> Cravat. No argument here, the Cravat is a Croatian invention, and in 2008 the Academia Cravatica declared October 18th as 'World Cravat Day'. (Yes it exists, if in doubt, visit their website: https://academia-cravatica.hr/) So that explains why we saw several statues from St. George the Dragon Slayer and Tesla to politicians and authors adorned with red neckties during our visit there! #cravat #necktie #fashion #worldcravatday #croatia #zagreb #culturetrip
Fall is chestnut season. The aroma of roasting cor Fall is chestnut season. The aroma of roasting corn and chestnuts over a charcoal grill drew us to this stand - it was a chill evening and we couldn't wait to taste them, but the vendor firmly made us wait for what seemed a long time, until they were done to perfection. #chestnuts #streetvendor #chestnutseason #chestnutsroasting #chestnutfestival #zagreb #croatia

The iconic 13th cent St. Mark's Church with an exq The iconic 13th cent St. Mark's Church with an exquisitely designed roof depicting the coat of arms of Zagreb (white castle on red background) and the Triune Kingdom of Croatia, Slavonia and Dalmatia. However, what caught my eye on one of them was the Croatia's national animal - the European pine marten! #zagreb #stmarkssquare #church #roof #tile #marten #travel #travelgram #croatia
The main square in downtown Zagreb through various The main square in downtown Zagreb through various times of the day and night - located in a sprawling pedestrian zone, it's a meeting point of sorts for all things social, walking tours, a tram hub, venue for the Christmas festivities, viewing football matches, concerts and of course people watching! #zagreb #travel #travelgram #square #downtown #instatravel #traveling
Waking up to the daily farmers market with a super Waking up to the daily farmers market with a superb view of Zagreb from the skylight window of the apartment. It's a pretty large market with two separate indoor sections for seafood, another for meat/dairy/dry provisions, and two separate outdoor areas for vegetables and flowers/ plants. There's also a small area with vendors selling local cheeses and dry fruits and nuts. #dolac #farmersmarket #zagreb #fresh #markets #travelgram #travel #instatravel #croatia
If only Aura could capture the aroma in its distil If only Aura could capture the aroma in its distillery and create candles or essences for us to take home! The heavenly smell of herbs, leaves and berries (from which their brandies are flavoured) was intoxicating! They have a very customer friendly and hospitable staff at their main Buzet location - special thanks to Branca for making our morning so special! #distillery #distilleryaura #destilerijaaura #rakija #brandy #liqeur #buzet #istria #croatia

Happy to be the caretaker of this precious cargo e Happy to be the caretaker of this precious cargo even if only for a minute! Fresh black truffles, this tray is worth €2K - €3K! Many thanks to Igor @prodantartufi for his time and for showing us around his facility. We look forward to relishing all the tartufi products we brought home! #tartufo #tartufi #prodantartufi #mushroom #fungi #gourmet #istria #buzet #truffleseason #truffles
Disappointed that we couldn't reach our desired de Disappointed that we couldn't reach our desired destination, but it was the journey that counted i suppose. The trail was absolutely deserted, mostly on the mountain rim so the views were amazing! This was the southernmost part of the karst plateau in Slovenia, the rocks were sharp and crumbly. A few hours into the hike, there were rumblings of bad weather approaching, so we retraced our steps back to the car. #hike #nature #socerga #trail #traveler #karst
Istrian countryside... So verdant and peaceful. A Istrian countryside... So verdant and peaceful. A joy to walk through the forests and winding roads and come upon a vineyard or olive grove... #istria #croatia
A long awaited meal and one to remember! We relish A long awaited meal and one to remember! We relish tartufi and timed our travels so we would be in Istria during the truffle season. This family run restaurant served us taglatielle with tartufo nero (black) and polenta with tartufo bianca (the prized white truffle). On the side, a tapenade with olives and truffle and Istrian malvasia wine. Divine! #tartufi #tartufo #konobamondo #istria #foodstagram #gourmet #truffles #truffleseason #mushroom #travel #travelgram
Driving in Croatia on our trip so far has involved Driving in Croatia on our trip so far has involved being at heights in the high mountains and scenic winding roads. Very enjoyable and getting to little picturesque towns like Motovun and others is the icing on the cake :-) #motovun #istria #truffle #travel #traveler #instatravel #travelgram
