Croatia Travel Podcast with Ivana Marić

Travelling in Croatia means moving between two climates and two ways of life. The interior is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, while the coast has mild winters and dry summers. This podcast explores those differences through the places and habits that shape everyday life.Episodes draw on the northern half of the country, where most people live, and go further afield. Zagreb, Istria, Slavonia and the Dalmatian coast all appear, as do the highlands above the Adriatic and the sparsely populated islands. A less obvious stop is Gorski kotar, a wooded highland region between the coast and the interior.The show unfolds over a couple of years rather than a checklist. It returns to places at different times of year, so the same town appears in a cold continental winter and a dry Adriatic summer. That slow accumulation of detail is what knowing somewhere properly sounds like.Ivana Marić lives in Croatia and stays for two years, moving between cities, coa

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Travelling in Croatia means moving between two climates and two ways of life. The interior is continental, with hot summers and cold winters, while the coast has mild winters and dry summers. This podcast explores those differences through the places and habits that shape everyday life.Episodes draw on the northern half of the country, where most people live, and go further afield. Zagreb, Istria, Slavonia and the Dalmatian coast all appear, as do the highlands above the Adriatic and the sparsely populated islands. A less obvious stop is Gorski kotar, a wooded highland region between the coast and the interior.The show unfolds over a couple of years rather than a checklist. It returns to places at different times of year, so the same town appears in a cold continental winter and a dry Adriatic summer.
