May 28th was a fantastic day – we had our wonderful wedding in Milos’ hometown of Crikvenica, Croatia. (At the Hotel Marina in Selce, to be exact.) The planning started even before we got engaged (back on Feb. 13, 2015), as some of you might remember from previous blog posts. I chose a color palette … Read more

With the caroling season post-work all done for now, I’m back in Europe – in Croatia with Miloš! I arrived on Thursday, and got a wonderful surprise at the airport. You see, Miloš had told me he wasn’t going to be able to pick me up at the airport because he had to stay … Read more

July 2014 – Croatia photo highlights

February 19, 2024July 27, 2014 by Jennifer Graf-Domijan

Hi all! As promised, I’m putting together some photos from our time in Croatia earlier this month. We spent time in Miloš’ hometown of Crikvenica, plus we headed down to Makarska again. (Including a day trip to Brela, just north of Makarska.) Hope you enjoy our photos!

(If you hover over each pic, you’ll see its description. Click on a pic, and you’ll see the large full size version, with the option to page through all the pics in their full size. Also, if you read this post from the actual post itself, and not the homepage, you’ll see my featured photo of Makarska at the top of the page. And I DO encourage you to view it from the individual post perspective, as the photos are larger that way.)

Dining in Crikvenica and Selce, Croatia

Restaurants in Crikvenica and Selce **Updated for summer 2019**

**For ideas on what to order at a restaurant in Croatia, check out our dining video on my Youtube travel channel: “Croatian Food: Out to Dinner with Jen and Miloš“

Considering the number of reviews we’ve written on our dining experiences in Croatia, I thought it was about time that I posted a blog entry just on some of the dining options in Miloš’ hometown of Crikvenica. (Remember how to say it? “Tsreek-VEN-eet-sah.”)

Crikvenica is our home in Croatia.

Located along the northern coastal area of the country, about 25 minutes south of Rijeka, Crikvenica is a popular summer tourist area on the Adriatic, with beaches and beautiful coves stretching for miles.

This area of Croatia is well known for olive oils, truffles, cheese, and prosciutto. Home cooking is alive and well, and that tradition is carried over into many of the area’s restaurants.

Many restaurants in Crikvenica are seasonal, and only some are open year-round.
