This has been a memorable trip in Croatia Dalmatian Islands. I contracted KimKim because of all the agencies I called, Nikola was responsive, profesional, listened to what I wished & he made it all happen with amazing guides and drivers. Split/Hvar/Brac/Vis/Korcula/Dubrovnik
All have their charm, and it’s people. Picturesque coastline, forest, vineyards, history, architecture, beaches, cuisine. There is so much that I will have to return for more.

Vis Island

Vis Island is a quaint fishing village. It has much History from WWII and after this war. Tito’s dictatorship built military facility. The position of Vis island was a strategic place for defense. Ammunition stored, partisans stayed. Now there are lots of vineyards and fishing. Great dinner restaurant Pojoda. With our guide visited Vis town, Vislander Winery in Milna was beautiful with Great Wines. Jastogera restaurant was fun Lobster/seafood place in Komiza another beautiful town in Vis Island. Here you have the Blue Caves. Weather was bad so could not go (April)…

Brac Hotel Osam was very elegant as is the town. Beautiful homes in the area. Visited Pucisca visited & learned about stone masonry. While there a stone roof was being repaired. Interesting never seen a stone roof…went to Vidora Gora (Very Windy) visibility was not good, but on a good day it must be breathtaking from up here to see Bol & Zlatni Rat Beach. The olive oil museum experience was fun! The lunch there was tasty.

Quality of Experience
Never knew you could make liqueur from olive oil. Interesting…

I almost backed away from Korcula. The wind & rain was pretty bad. Many ferries cancelled. Nikola made some changes & we made it & so happy We did. It is a favorite… despite the rain & wind our Guide for the city, Lea, was fabulous. Spirited, energetic. History on the walled city. It was Easter weekend, so they had processions the city was alive. Good meal at Biancura restaurant

Quality of Experience
Lea was a fun guide as well as knowledgeable on the wall city

This particular tour was done by car. Too windy for a bicycle ride. It was a great day with our guide in Korcula. Went to a Honey Bee producer Liberan & tasting. Learned much of the Bee word and delicious Honey. Visited a small family vineyard. Tasovac Winery their white wine was wonderful. They had a red one that was very good as well. Nice lunch with the family. Drove through picturesque coastline & beaches. Great day in Korcula

Later was taken by boat, to a floating barge where they had the oysters & mussels strung from the barge into the sea. Had a Lunch there. Very unique experience. We also visited a very elegant winery Milo. Their red wine was delicious.,Beautiful Day
