Jami & Aaron's Travels

Stepping off the ferry from the busyness of Santorini and onto the relaxed and unique eccentric character of Folegandros was a welcoming change. The pace was mellow and the tourists were few. I imagine most of them come to this island to escape and get away from it all. There were very little roads and […]

With our last few weeks on this first leg through Europe and our last country, as well as our first Greek island, it seemed like Santorini had some big expectations to fill. Arguably Greece’s most popular island I had heard the many stories of the breathtaking views, stunning architecture and one of the most magical […]

We had a smooth flight from Dubrovnik to Athens, which didn’t prepare us for the travel confusion that was about to hit us. We flew to Athens due to the lack of any reasonable overland route from Croatia to Greece. Our plan was to immediately ferry out to Santorini (the farthest island we are visiting) […]

The drive from Mostar to Dubrovnik was longer than anticipated. There was traffic and many stops at what seemed like far too necessary passport controls from Bosnia/Herz into Croatia. However we were rewarded with stunning views of coastline and vineyards along the way. Our big bus drove along the tiny 2 way highway, which seemed […]

We arrived in Mostar, one of the main cities in Bosnia and Hertznegovia, expecting to see a famous example of Ottoman architecture. Other travelers had told us the Stari Most (“Old Bridge”) was beautiful and worth seeing, although there wasn’t much else worthwhile in town. But for me the bridge ended up taking a backseat […]

Our plan was to head by bus from Korcula to Mostar, a town just inside Bosnia. While the Internet claimed this was possible and easy, the nice but non-English-speaking lady at the Korcula bus station begged to differ. A few hours of Googling later, and after frantically reading through many years-old threads on travel forums, […]

From Hvar we took a ferry to Korcula, a less populated (and less popular) Croatian island. It turned out to be a good break from the party-centric scenes of Split, Hvar, and Dubrovnik. Korcula island is long and narrow, and for most of its length is very close to mainland Croatia. Like most of the […]

Rampant I tell you. Maybe this world needs more lawyers. (The “J” is Croatian is pronounced as a “Y”)
