Croatia. Not on paper, but in your heart.

Hrvatska. Nije brošura, nego osjećaj.

Croatia? That's not a brochure, but a feeling. Or rather: osjećaj.


Anyone can show a beach. Anyone can arrange a boat. But that doesn't buy you an incentive that truly connects with people. That's why we chose Croatia. Not for the clichéd image of "sun & sea," but for what it truly is: contrasts that stay with you. Luxury alongside rawness. History alongside contemporary energy. Silence alongside chaos.


You don't start obediently (if you want to make a difference)


An incentive that starts with a lukewarm coffee after landing? No, hvala. Our guests were treated to a rooftop terrace overlooking the Jadransko Lake and a cocktail that said: "Dobrodošli – welcome, we're getting started. Hold on tight." The tone was set: stylish, but with an edge.


Opatija – aristocratic flair with a twist


Opatija is the lady in red of the Adriatic coast. Chic, elegant, slightly inaccessible. The city where European monarchs and aristocrats once resorted, but where grandeur still lingers today. And that's precisely why we went for it. First, a gastronomic dinner that did full justice to its grandeur, followed by a casino visit that added just that touch of decadence. Yes, it could be previše. In fact, it had to be.


Dag twee: od mora do planine


At sea, Croatia is perfect Instagram material. The island of Krk, hidden coves, a lunch like no other. Everything is perfect. But perfection without the rough edges gets old pretty quickly. That's why we changed course: Risnjak National Park. Raw, quiet, pure. From azure waters to fragrant pine forests. That contrast? That was the magic. Because only when you go from being dressed to having mud on your shoes do you feel alive.


Rijeka – the raw finale


Rijeka new cool. Rijeka živi. Rijeka is truly a city that bustles and sweats. With a guide, we wandered through markets, squares, and stories that were just raw enough to completely captivate us. From the top of Trsat Castle, we were treated to a panoramic view of the Adriatic Sea. And as the finale: the Božićni sajam – Christmas market. Lights, chaos, tradition, and warmth. Simply the essence of Rijeka, all in one evening.


Safe is boring. This wasn't safe. And far from boring!


We could have had a safe city break. But what about varijanta? To nije naš stil. This was an incentive that surprised, stimulated, and sometimes even challenged. Because that's where magic happens.


Croatia gave us the soul. We gave us the courage. And that's precisely why it sticks. This was clearly one you want to feel again (and again, and again...)
