This is a slice of heaven on earth. We have been here twice in the last two years. Peaceful, beautiful on the Adriatic Ocean an that is our idea of paradise. We stay at a cozy hotel with 8 rooms where we have a total apartment for less than $80 a night. Walking distance to wonderful cafes and a large... More
