Wander in the winter pleasures and delights of Opatija!

AARP, the magazine with an impressive readership of over 38.3 million in the United States, graciously invited me to share the secrets of an ideal winter escape.
As I opened the ", my mind swiftly journeyed to beautiful moments in one of my favorite destinations—from late to early .

Imagine leisurely strolls along the , affectionately dubbed 'The Emperor's Walk' in my heart. Picture the brisk zephyrs, the fragrance of laurel tree leaves, and the mist from waves caressing the shore. The sun's brilliance reflecting on the Adriatic, coupled with the warmth of roasted chestnuts, gifted by a gentle friend named Zoran (the Croatian male version for Aurora, the goddess of dawn in Roman mythology and Latin poetry) weave a sensory tapestry of cherished travel memories.

Opatija, steeped in history and once the playground of European royalty, is a testament to a bygone era of opulence, grace, and grandeur. Like a cherished necklace, the villas along the Liburnia Riviera exude the charm of a golden epoch.

Nestled in the Gulf of Kvarner in Croatia Full of life, pulsates with life throughout the year, inviting travelers to indulge in its rich tapestry of pleasures and experiences."

The Life and Art of Ivan Meštrović

Those who have visited Croatia are sure to be familiar with the life and work of renowned artist, Ivan Meštrović Gallery, whose impressive works are found throughout the country. To many Americans, however, the name Meštrović might still be unfamiliar. A contemporary of artists such as and , gained notoriety in Europe for his sculpture, writings, and politics before moving to the United States.

To provide a more complete view of Meštrović, his life, and his work, Tasteful Croatian Journeys Luxury Travel Designer, Tia Lovisa Moreira, had the pleasure of interviewing Art Historian Vesna Bulic of the Ivan Meštrović Gallery in Split.

We are pleased to share Vesna’s insights below.

“My art is expressed in hard wood and stone, but that which is in art is not in wood or stone, it is outside time and space. Art is a song and a prayer at the same time.” – Ivan Meštrović
