During our 2015 motorhome trip around Europe, we spent just over two months in Croatia, seeing everything from beaches to medieval villages and national parks in this beautiful country. It also gave us the opportunity to write a report on Croatia for the Expressens supplement Allt om resor (All about travelling). The magazine is available in stores from yesterday!
12 gems in Croatia
Our report is called "12 pearls of Croatia" and is about just that: 12 places we love in Croatia. Would you like to read our 11-page report? The magazine is available in stores between 3 May and 16 May and costs SEK 39.
Update: The report has now also been published online, where it states that Discover sizzling hot Croatia - don't miss out!
... and maybe a few more
Soon we will perhaps be able to complete the 12 pearls with some more pearls here on the blog. In the middle of May it is time for us to visit Croatia again. Then we will explore Istria in a small city camper and, of course, look for new gems. We look forward to it!

Steve says:
Great! You continue to make your mark on the travel world.
It will be interesting to follow your journey in a city camper. You can make appropriate comparisons with travelling in a larger motorhome.

Åsa says:
A city camper? What is that! 😉
I have been to Istria. It was nice I think!
04 May 2016 - 8:57
admin says:
Steve, we have long been curious about smaller motorhomes so it will be fun to try! 🙂
Åsa, haha, ok then! Dear child has many names 😉

What fun with your article! I'll have to wait until it appears on the web, which it must do in the future, right? But maybe after the sales period has "expired".
Fun with a new trip to Croatia as well 🙂 ðŸ™'

Glad you got there! Croatia is still the country I myself get the most questions about my email, seems to attract Swedes more and more .... Myself there 1st time in 2005!

Ama de casa, well I think the articles will end up on the website later, but as you say, a little later so as not to compete with the paper magazine....
Znogge, we hope these are some good tips! 🙂
Lina, thank you very much! Autumn is a great time to visit Croatia! There is still a pleasant climate, but not as many tourists.
Berit, we recognise that there are a lot of questions and interest in Croatia right now!
Christine, yes it feels great and we are really looking forward to the trip 🙂 .
Travelling dream, glad you want to read the report 🙂 .
Ann-Sofie and Lennart, hope you get to go to Croatia!
Annika, yes we managed a lot, although of course there is a lot left too. Among other things, there are a huge number of islands... 😉.
Elisabeth, yes, the next trip will focus entirely on Istria, which we haven't had time to explore much before, and Zagreb, where we've never been.

Very funny congratulations! Istria is really nice. Visited the peninsula several times many years ago!

BP says:
I am actually extremely proud of you and that you - as Steve writes - are making an impact in the print media as well. You are soooo worthy of that appreciation.
Istria is really fun I promise. I think you will like Istria!
04 May 2016 - 21:04
Ann-Sofie says:
Fun! We sailed for 1.5 months in Croatia in 2012. Wonderfully beautiful. The downside of travelling by boat is that you don't see much of the hinterland. So we have that left and sercrram against.

God, what fun!!!
You are so enterprising! You are really good role models to have here in travel blogs Sweden!

Britt-Marie says:
Have followed your annual trip with great interest and when this year's first long trip with the motorhome was to be planned, the choice was between Normandy-Provance and Croatia. Now it was the France option (if the weather does not put any obstacles in the wheel), as we only have three weeks at our disposal and hopefully Croatia is still there next year as well and then I have to make sure to plan a few more holiday weeks in a row. It does not seem to be difficult to spend a lot of time there (and much will have changed since our first family trip with car, caravan and three children in the back seat to Istria in the mid-80s. It was beautiful even then!

Lanclin says:
Congratulations on a great job! I actually dare to comment on it without having seen the magazine, I trust you 🙂 However, I will hire one of my couriers in Sweden to buy a copy so I can see it in paper form, it always feels special. They will otherwise be out or have stopped being sold when we drive up through Svea rike during Pentecost 🙁
04 May 2016 - 23:14
Ditte says:
That's great! Congratulations to you and to those of us who will benefit from this. I'm going to buy the magazine and may well lend it to friends in Torrevieja who are interested until the article is online.
What fun with Istria! Looking forward to joining you there via the blog.
I still remember with great pleasure the week of sailing we did in Croatia and got a taste of Istria.

Veiken, thank you! Glad you are so positive about Istria! We have been there a bit, but look forward to seeing more!
BP, thank you! It was nice to write for a different media 🙂.
Ann-Sofie, yes, of course it is! At the same time, I can imagine that it is nice to experience the archipelago from the sea side!
Frida, thanks for the nice words! 🙂
Britt-Marie, how nice that you followed our trip! Yes, Croatia is still there! We also liked France very much. Wish you a really nice trip!
Lanclin, haha, it's nice that you trust us without even having seen the report 😉.
Ditte, I understand that you had a great sailing week in Croatia! And of course we will bring you reports from the Istrian trip! 🙂
Fantasy travel, thank you very much! 🙂
