Welcome to Kvarner, where dreams of the perfect summer vacation come true! Imagine mornings with the sound of waves, days filled with children’s laughter, and evenings under starry skies. The Crikvenica Riviera, the island of Krk, and hotels like Katarina and Slaven in Selce offer everything you need for an ideal holiday — from large seawater pools to animation programs for the little ones. And don’t forget the pet-friendly hotels, where your four-legged friends are not just welcome but treated like royalty! But while Kvarner attracts tourists from all over Europe, Zagreb is gearing up for the biggest concert in Croatian history by Marko Perković Thompson, which will cause a real traffic nightmare and security measures straight out of a movie. Austrian authorities have even warned their citizens to avoid Zagreb during the concert due to crowds and safety risks. Thompson’s manager confirmed the concert will start with the song “Ustani sjene,” and the audience can expect a setlist of 30 songs, including controversial hits like “Bojna Čavoglave” and “Lijepa li si.” Entry to the concert will be strictly controlled, with bans on bags and liquids, and attendees won’t be able to leave the venue once inside. While Kvarner enjoys a Mediterranean paradise, Zagreb braces for chaos to remember — all during peak tourist season and scorching heat threatening forest fires. If you planned a holiday in Croatia this summer, think twice about where to go — because while some enjoy peace and luxury, others battle traffic jams, rain, and security measures. So, what do you think about this contrast? Is Kvarner truly a hidden paradise, or is all of Croatia just one big stage for chaos and fun? Drop a comment and let’s see which side you’re on!
