Croatia Bucket List
because there’s more to this eastern european gem than
cobblestones and coastlines (though they’re great too!)
By KeLLie Davenport
Do go chasing waterfalls
throughout the country,
which boasts more than
100 cascades. While all
are worth a look, Krka
National Park’s seven
falls stand apart for
their swimmability.
Take a refreshing dip
near the base of the
sprawling Skradinski
Falls as water tumbles
over 800 square metres
of rock ledges. Be sure
to arrive early though:
For safety reasons,
officials cap admission
for any given time at the
popular spot.

Learn to cook
Owing to its history and
geography, Croatian cuisine
is an amalgam of Turkish,
Italian and Hungarian
culinary influences. The
result is a truly unique set
of traditions and dishes.
One such specialty is peka, a
Croatian slow-cooker-style
meal. Sign up for a class to
learn this tasty technique,
CAA SaSkatchewan
which involves a mix of
meat, fish, veggies and
herbs arranged under a bell-
shaped dome and cooked
directly in the burning
embers of a fire. The result
is fall-apart-tender meat
and rich flavour.
