WHY EASTER IN MARINA

Easter holidays always come as a nice introduction into the “outdoor time of year".  After  a couple of cosy months on a sofa, you just can't help longing for the outside activities.

      Sailing

This is the perfect time of year for true sailing lovers. Excellent winds can carry you as far from the coast as you like, yet there are no summer crowds at sea. If you do not own a sailing yacht, you can rent one out from one of the charters in marina Agana: http://www.moorings.com/vacation-options/bareboat-yacht-charter/destinations/mediterranean/croatia/agana  or http://www.pitter-yachting.com/en/

Walking

Nearby area offers great possibilities for walking tours. Hills not too steep, hidden bays and small coves, nature in bloom... There’s plenty to see here and now’s just the time.

Cycling

If you prefer to cycle round the area you are visiting, we are very happy to say that a lot of the routes have been repaired and improved during the last couple of months. We hope you’ll like it.

Here’s a map of our routes: http://www.tz-marina.hr/slike/Blok-karta-marina2.jpg

      Gastronomy

Spit roasted lamb with spring onions and green lettuce, lamb and peas stew, lamb under iron bell, lamb,   lamb, lamb… Spring is the time of year to try these and many more delicious lamb recipes in one of the local taverns.

KONOBA "KOD DUJE" / TAVERN "KOD DUJE"

In any country I visit, I just love to eat in those little places  where you can taste the local food and the best (red :D) wine. When all this is combined with friendly staff, interesting decor and a relaxed atmosphere, you just can't resist it.

Tavern "Kod Duje" is just such a place; the locals as well as tourists love it. Earlier this month, after the winter break, this family run tavern re-opened its doors. Enjoy it!

HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY

.

International Women's Day is  meant to appreciate those who have the biggest  influence in our lives. It can be mom who balances work and home beautifully or grandma who is kind of person that makes you feel better when you get in trouble or a friend in need that is friend indeed.... Dear women  just pamper yourself today, treat yourself with bubble bath  or just heart to heart talk with your friend and what is most important congratulate yourself for being women, mother, queen .....cause we deserve it :)

KAD BI MASLINA MOGLA PRIČATI/ IF OLIVE TREE COULD ONLY TALK

Duboko poštovanje ...  Ne znam kako bih drugačije opisala ono što čovjek osjeti kada se nađe u pored živog bića starog preko 1000 godina. Bića koje je vidjelo vrijedne ruke kraljevskog kipara Ivana  Duknovića kako stvara prve radove u poznatom viniškom kamenu, hrabre stanovnike kako prkose Osmanlijama i svim kasnijim osvajačima koji su htjeli svoj komadić ovog raja. Priče o ljubavi, životu, pjesmi i radu.

Postoji plan da se masline na ovom području posebno označe i zaštite od devastacije i iskreno se nadam da će ova stabla pričati svoju priču još dugo, dugo….

Deep respect… I really do not know is there a better word to describe what a person feels when you meet something that's been alive for over a 1000 years. A being so old that it can tell you a story of the royal sculptor Ivan Duknović and his very first arts made in famous stone from local quarries. Stories of the brave locals who fought the Osmans and all the other invaders who wanted to take a part of this heaven. Stories of love, life, poems and hard work.

There is a plan to protect and care for these ancient trees and I sincerely hope that their stories will be told to many future generations …
