The meaning name "Ciovo" and some history.

Welcome back on my blog! Today, I’m going to write about short topic: about the name of place where I spent my vacations and the meaning this name and also some history about this place. Name “Ciovo” doesn’t have any meaning even in Croatian language. Everything what I know and what is write about it that it comes from middle ages because first monuments are from that time.  Some people think It was an winners island and it was an oasis for believers cause there are many church. But others think there were living sick people far away from big cities and healthy people. From that time stayed just monuments and old buildings and we never know what the truth is. It’s one big mystery and we won’t have an answer on it. I have a hope you will read also my next ( more interesting) posts. 

The location and history of Ciovo

Hello everyone :D In  this post I’m going to write about the place where I slept by two weeks. Me and my family were on the island Ciovo in Croatia. First it named Bua. In Middle Ages there were living people suffering from leprosy. It’s really small because it has only 28,13 km square kilometers. It is on the west to the Split (big city in Croatia). On this island are a lot of bays. On Ciovo are six small cities:

·         Trogir

·         Arbanija

·         Slatine

·         Mastrinka

·         Okrug Gornji

·         Okrug Dolnji

I was living in Slatine  in beautiful old house close to the Adriatic sea.  My parents rented a house from old marriage. There were 3floors. On first floor were living home owners for all holidays because they were renting bigger part of their house for tourist. The second and third floor we rented for us. I was sleeping on second floor. On all floor were 4 big rooms, small kitchen, living room and two bathrooms. All house was in old style. Each piece of furniture had own individually history and came from other place . On my floor also was huge deck with beautiful view on the sea and neighbors gardens with nice plants and fruit trees. For me Ciovo is the most beautiful island I have ever seen it has wonderful climate and unique charm.  There doesn’t live many people. I really like to live there cause in my dreams is have a huge house next to the sea in warm country. 

 Unfortunately on the pictures you can’t see all charm this island. See you in next post : )

How and when I got to Croatia.

Hi ;) I'd like to write to you something about the best vacation of my life. I spent them in Croatia on small island Ciovo in 2010. I was there when I was 11 years old. I was a small kid but I remember everything because I have got some souvenirs and marks from my journeys in the form of scars on my body. There I saw the most beautiful views, sunrises and sunsets over the sea. I met friendly people, i visited historic and spectacular buildings and towns. I remember this summer as the best in my life so far and I would like to back to Croatia in the future. So I’d like to write to you everything what I remember from Croatia. While you already know I was there in 2010  at the end of June ( when continued still a school year) and at the beginning of July with my brother and my parents and their friends. We were there two weeks but we rode there until 48 hours in two directions. It was really long journey specially for me cause I’ve got motion sickness. We rode by 4 cars in 4 families. We passed 3 country: Slovakia, Hungary and Bosnia and Herzegovina. 







We visited in Budapest. This is beautiful capital specially at the night because it is called a capital of light







 I was sleeping all journey cause I wasn’t feeling good. But we were eating in McDonalds two days. It was amazaing! I remember this journey as tiring but interesting. I have a hope you like my first post on this blog. See you in next post :D
