Just returned from Croatia and in hot pursuit, I hasten to share with you dear tourists
I apologize for the long post, I hope the information will be useful to you

Tour operator TUI, the ticket cost 1400 euros.
So everything is in order.
Flight.
UIA: Kyiv-Split everything is fine according to the schedule, in Boryspil, as usual, the luggage was waiting for a long time. I’ll immediately unsubscribe that the weight of one piece of luggage at Croatian airports should be no more than 23 kg - be careful when buying imported beer or other souvenirs! ! ! (in Boryspil for two you can 32kg)

Hotel room
Everything is as usual, not big, 2 Russian channels, balcony, mini bar, etc. etc. (see photo) Cleaning daily, bed linen change almost every day, without any 1$

Meals at the hotel
Of course, we expected a little more)) Breakfasts are monotonous, there was practically no choice of fruits, vegetables, greens. For breakfast, coffee, tea, something like juice for free.
Dinners are better.

Although with greens and fruits the same story. Watermelon was a couple of times, mostly bananas, apples, pears, melon + canned fruit.
1st course: beef soup or with broccoli (there was always the same thing). For the second, several types of meat, a side dish of 3 types + different sausages, cheeses. There was fish every day, something like pike perch, anchovies, capelin, in short, unpretentious. Seafood such as squid mussels was never even at the Croatian evening (takes place every week) For dessert, ice cream and a couple of types of cakes.
Of course, after Turkey, we were disappointed especially on the first day, but I can say that the food, namely its quality, and not the range, is higher than in Turkey (when compared with Simena Sun Club), plus everything from the spicy food of the Turks (and from conditionally free beer) my stomach ached on the third day, but there are no problems here.
Two glasses of wine for dinner will cost you about 7 Euro, a cup of tea 1 Euro, half a liter of soda 1.50 Euro.
By the way, in Croatian a glass "boca" means a bottle, so it's better to specify)))

Sea
I have no words, just amazing! ! ! Color and clarity like with Photoshop, especially in the morning. Do not be too lazy to come to the beach at least by 8-00 while there is no one and dive into the calm, you can even without a mask. In the afternoon, the children stir up the water, plus often, due to small waves (if they can be called waves at all), it brought small algae, not as much as in the Crimea, of course))) and one day it brought some kind of black spot similar to oily, but we we walked literally 15m and the problem was solved) By the way, the beach is oh-oh-very long, you can go one way and the other from Baska water without any obstacles (there are no beach fences at all) more than 5km, in short there is where to swim))
On the beach, sun umbrellas are paid 3Euro, a sunbed is 4 Euro, but you can easily hide from ultraviolet radiation in the shade of pine trees that hang right on the beach pebbles, so you relax both at the sea and in the forest at the same time, imagine what a smell ....
City

The village of Bashka-Voda itself is small, you can get around it in just an hour. On the embankment in the evening it is quite crowded and therefore you have to go out onto the road along which there is quite heavy traffic. Not far from the hotel there is a Konzum store, something like our Silpo, a little further there is a market and a few more shops. In principle, there is where to take a walk in the evening, you can walk to the pier or in the other direction from the hotel along the path over the sea to the neighboring village (40 minutes walk). There are a lot of restaurants, fast foods, but about catering a little lower)) The disco was seen only in one place, so there will be nothing for club lovers to do there.

Public catering
We ate at different restaurants every day. We liked Mars (near the bazaar), Tamarilla in a nearby hotel, where the waiter even knew a little Ukrainian and treated us to coffee for free.
We mainly tasted seafood dishes and I must admit that in most cases it was very "biting" that is delicious))) A hearty lunch with wine or beer cost me and my wife 30-40 Euro. Please note that Croatian portions are quite large, even I am a food lover, spaghetti bolognese, salad and a liter of beer were difficult to place)

Product prices
In the store beer Karlowasko 0.5l - 1.50 Euro
Water 0.50l - 1 Euro
Coca-Cola 0.50l - 1.50 Euro
Wine 0.75 from 2 Euro, very similar to our Tamyanka
Cheeseburger (large) - 3 Euro
Grapes - 3.50 Euro
Watermelon - 1 Euro
In the restaurant, first courses from 3 Euro, second courses 10-20 Euro
Well, almost like ours only 1.5 times more expensive)

Excursion
We decided to go to Schibennik and visit the Krka River National Park, it's all in one day, so we parted with our 120 Euro and returned very satisfied)) It takes 2 hours to go one way, to Plitvice Lakes or to Dubrovnik, for example, 4 hours, so we didn't go there.

The city of Schibennik itself is very interesting, very similar to our Lviv, we stayed there for about 2 hours, managed to walk around the old city with a guide, see the Cathedral of St. Jacob and climb a little in the local rag shops (the wife insisted very much))) Then we went to the national park (it takes about 20 minutes to drive). It's very beautiful there, you can't describe it in pictures. I really liked that you could swim downstairs near the waterfall in Krk - super! The water is just amazingly beautiful and clean. I recommend that for swimming, in addition to a swimsuit, take shoes (which are from sea urchins) since the bottom of the river is dotted with large slippery stones and it is very problematic to climb them with bare feet. After water procedures, you can proceed to the beer. Nearby is a restaurant where fresh trout is fried straight from the river (9 Euro) - I have never eaten anything tastier in my life!

Summary.
I really liked the rest in me, for several reasons: beautiful nature, friendly people (no oriental obsession), delicious Mediterranean cuisine, the opportunity to freely and interestingly spend time outside the hotel. Holidays in Turkey completely turn you off from life - a mortal body moves between a hotel, a bar, a restaurant, a beach, evening animation, but in Croatia you still have to solve at least some issues: the choice of a restaurant, a better store, fruits in the bazaar are tastier and therefore returning to the usual rhythm of life after such a vacation is much easier. In general, Croatia respect! ))

I wish you all a good and regular rest!
