After visiting Sarajevo and Kotor the family headed to Makarska. We have been before and we were captivated by it's beaches and the pamorama. It's a relatively small city, with not a lot of historical or cultural sights, but it is really pretty and it's worth it for the nature. The city itself is old, like all cities in that area, and if I remember correctly it was named by Punnic merchants.

We spent there only one night and mostly at the beach and just walking around, but it was a very nice time for sure. The prices are kinda high in the restaurants, but for the accomodation it was pretty reasonable. Also there are many hiking spots around the city and next to the beaches, so it's more for the people who like natural beauties.

Later we headed to Brela to check out a famous beach with a nice rock formation.

I traveled with friends to Siena and San Gimigano for a short day trip. I've been to Siena recently, but I didn't mind coming back because I loved it there. I'll also put some pictures from the previous trip there.

We arrived to San Gimignano first, I knew that it's a touristy place, but I completely understand why. The city is stunning and the best part is the surrounding panorama, the rolling hills of Tuscany is just so eye catching. I only had an icecream there and luckily arrived before the big 50 meters tourist line estabilished itself for the day. I highly recommend going to Gelateria Dondoli and try out their fior di latte and fig ice creams, just out of this world.

San Gimignano similarly to other tuscan villages, has their own towers froknthe medieval times and if you are lucky you can meet with the people living in them.

Siena is a stunning city, very similar to Firenze in vibes, but still has it's distinct feeling. The city offers quite a lot, the main piazza with the townhall is overwhelming in size, and the Duomo there is one of the most stunning churches I've ever seen. It's really worth the ticket's price. I recommend just wandering around the districts, with each one having their own flags and identity.

To eat I can highly recommend Osteria Nonna Gina, with their hand-written menu and secret recipes from the grandma herself.
