Croatia
At the Krka National Park, there is a set of waterfalls and cascades called Skradinski Buk. The scenery here is absolutely fantastic and when you arrive at the bottom of the cascades you can take a dip in the freshwater - the only place in the park that allows swimming. A grand day out!

About and 11/2 hour drive from Trogir
Trogir is teeming with bars and restaurants, densely packed along the Riva and in the narrow cobbled streets behind. Many of them are open all year round, including all those listed below.
Top of our list of Pizzerias is Mirkec, half way along the Riva (Boardwalk), and with exceptionally friendly and efficient staff.
Our favourite restaurant is Skrapa, serving good quality plain Dalmatian food in a rustic environment at reasonable prices. You’re assured of a warm welcome from the owners, who specialise in mildly eccentric (ie phallic) table decorations.
There’s a boat restaurant, near the marina, on the Čiovo side of the bridge which is not as expensive as it might sound and if you want a posh meal, at the higher end of the price range, try Fontana or Alka in the old town, a short walk from the Riva.

Get the ferry from Trogir Riva to Drvenik Veliki or, better still, hire a boat and go to Uvala Krknjaš on the east coast of Drvenik Veliki Island.
It’s a deserted bay, apart from a couple of houses and a good local restaurant, and the water here is so crystal clear, you’ll never want to swim anywhere else again. Make sure you take your jelly shoes as it’s a fairly rocky beach.
