Editorial Summary

The creators document a multi-day expedition along the Croatian coast aboard a National Geographic ship. Their journey begins with a visit to Mljet National Park, where they explore lush greenery and lakes. The itinerary includes exploring the fortress town of Ston, where they walk along historic defensive walls and observe local salt harvesting. The travelers also visit an oyster farm to learn about the three year maturation process before sampling fresh seafood. In Krka National Park, they view the Skradinski Buk waterfall and navigate wooden walkways above the forest. The trip continues through coastal towns like Šibenik and Vis, where the creators focus on local culinary traditions, such as black squid ink palenta and the traditional fish pie known as Komissa. They also visit a Dalmatian dog museum and a fishing museum. Throughout the video, the creators discuss Croatian history, the transition to the euro, and the country's safety. They conclude their trip by reflecting on the intimate atmosphere of their small ship before preparing for their next destinations in London and the Faroe Islands.

Creator's Key Takeaways

We got up bright and early. We took one of the zodiacs from the National Geographic ship that we've been staying on and it took us to Millette National Park.

We're going to try some absolutely delicious and kind of strange local food, explore beautiful ancient towns that cover the coastline, and of course, hang out with a bunch of little kitties.

It's still just as epic and magical as I remember.

We're just going to have to come back to Croatia at some point.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Definitely get here early. Our group arrived closer to 8:00 a.m. and there was nobody.
Watch out because it's very rickety. Look down every now and then, otherwise you might tumble in.
