By The Sea

Coastal Adriatic areas in Croatia, Slovenia and Italy,

were as predicted,
beautiful and historical.
Seductive Mediterranean climate,

blue sky and sea waves capture one.
Venetian-style towns,
beaches and marinas are magical,
like a fairy-tale.










Rovinj is one of the most photographed cities in Croatia.
Old Town is a tangle of steep pedestrian streets









paved with cobblestones
that lead to galleries, shops and cafes.



















Wandering, it is impossible not to stop
and pause to enjoy a refreshment.








Slovenia has only 45 miles of coast.Seaside Piran is a jewel.
A town of alleys, squares, old rock streets and beautiful churches.Climbing up to St. George's,
perched on hilltop,
a panoramic view awaits everyone.
A display of rooftops, cliffs, seagulls, boats, steeples, rolling waves
accented with a relaxing breeze
was one of those "Grand Canyon" moments.
(nature at its best)
