Croatia has clear blue sea and beautiful beaches (although often not very comfortable for bare feet). It is also great food and well-equipped campsites, where, apart from cabins and caravans or plots, a rich animation program awaits guests. If the sky is covered with clouds or the temperature induces us to resign from occupying the sunbeds, the resort we chose for vacation will provide us with a number of entertainment. It will be the case if this resort is Bunculuka Camping Resort, located on the south-west coast of the island of Krk. It belongs to the Camping Adriatic - Valamar chain of campsites.

If it is going to be a quiet day, you definitely have to go to the lake! But I don't know if you know that the Garda Trentino region is not only the great Lake Garda. It is also a multitude of small mountain lakes with an amazing water color, often connected with each other by bicycle or pedestrian paths. We recommend going to Lago di Tenno , from which it is only a stone's throw away, to visit the medieval town of Tenno. On the way down (because the lake is high in the mountains), be sure to stop and cool down in the grotto with a waterfall .

How to spend a quiet family day in Garda Trentino?

For some time now, holidays and weekends on the recreational plot have returned to favor. The more that thanks to mobile homes, we no longer have to spend a fortune on construction, or even on the purchase of the plot itself. This form of relaxation has the advantage over occasional trips that we can use the cottage throughout the year and leave the necessary things in it, without having to take a ton of luggage with us. As soon as the sun shines, the Polish nation moves on to plots: employee, own, family, or recently - rented. If we want to stay there longer - a house will come in handy, not necessarily one made of rails, corrugated steel and whatever you can. Not everyone can afford to build another house (especially if we are "up to our ears" in a loan for the first time). Then the solution may be to buy a ready, assembled, fully equipped mobile home .
