Поездка с приятным послевкусием A trip with a pleasant aftertaste

This is my first trip to Croatia. I want to say right away that the nature is simply fabulous: bright rich colors, an abundance of national parks, picturesque islands, etc. As for Vodice, this is a small resort crowded with vacationers. On the beach and in the sea during the day it was not overcrowded. Relatively freedom was in the morning at 8 o'clock and in the evening from 19 o'clock. The beaches in Croatia are public, sunbeds on the beach are paid (20 kunas per day). If desired, in order to save money, beach mats, umbrellas, etc. can be bought in numerous shops, but cheaper in supermarkets. As an option, since for vacationers in Olimpia sunbeds near the pool and umbrellas are free, and next to the pool there was a gate leading to a short path to the beach, you could swim in the sea and sunbathe by the pool, which many guests did. Next to the pool, under the stairs, there was a guy who gave out free towels. As for the exchangers, the best rate was in the Split bank, the nearest branch to the hotel was not far from the bus station. At the reception, you could take a Vodice map for free and ask the administrator how to get to the place you are interested in. By the way, they also contacted the guide through the administrator, approached the reception and asked to be connected. This service was absolutely free. Next to the hotel suprmarket Tommy - cheaper than in numerous Konzum-ah. I advise you to try the meat delicacy - prosciutto and Pashki goat cheese (bought at a local supermarket). Even in Croatia, delicious bread. My M. C. was delighted with pizza, ice cream and olive oil. Probably, the territorial proximity of Italy affected, from which the Croats adopted the secrets of cooking these dishes. The hotel is clean, bright, the staff is polite and attentive. The room was small, but in good condition, located in the building where the reception. The windows did not overlook the pool, but the courtyard, so it was quiet enough and you could sleep peacefully with the window open. Daily cleaning. For the entire stay, breakfasts were practically unchanged: three types of eggs, boiled vegetables, sausages, bread, cheese slices (4-5 types), two types of yogurt, cottage cheese, muesli, puff pastry, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, salad , pepper, fruits. Dinner (buffet) was more varied. Every evening they gave juicy, ripe watermelons. In general, there were no complaints or complaints about the food: it was delicious and made from fresh ingredients. Animation Entertainment: in the evening in the lobby and then by the pool - live music. During the day in the pool - water aerobics. Contingent: German pensioners, many families with children (Germans, Croats), occasionally Italians, there were also young couples. There were few of our compatriots. Despite the abundance of children, it was quite quiet and calm. Vodice has a convenient location for those who like to combine beach and sightseeing holidays. Nearby are the national parks Krka and Kornati (excursion from 9-1.00, including lunch with wine, stop on the island with swimming in a salt lake, live music - 300 kunas). Independently by bus it was possible to get to the city of Sibenik (20-25 minutes), Split (driving more than 2 hours), Trogir (not reaching Split), Zadar. It was possible to get from Vodice by ferry to the city of Sibenik with stops on about. Zlarin and Fr. Prvich. In general, it turned out to be a rich, filled with pleasant impressions trip. I want to come back to Croatia.
