And of course, one of the most favorite summer activates is a picnic. Whether you just like to eat tasty small snacks while enjoying the last gossips, whether you\u2019re in desperate need of fresh air, flowers, and just chilling far away from the laptop and everyday job \u2013 a cute little picnic with your family and friends is always a good idea.<\/p><p>And yes \u2013 you can have picnic everywhere. Wherever you see a nice green surface, your blanket is surely ready to be placed and enjoyed. Quite convenient, isn\u2019t it?<\/p><p>Despite that, there are some quite beautiful places in each Croatian region which certainly stands out thanks to their natural beauty and surroundings.

Not only that the lake is great for chilling and relaxing, but it is also perfect for fishing, swimming, camping, hiking, and jogging!<\/p><p>Slavonia is a place of beauty and amazing views, but besides that, it offers a few wine roads which would go quite beautifully with your prepared picnic bag.

Inland Istria has beautiful forests, fields, and vineyards, and due to that, you can choose a nice visit to some of the wine cellars, enjoy their wine, and some refreshing pasta salad, Istrian ham and ombolo, or some other delicacy. In case you\u2019re visiting the Istrian coast, Brijuni have perfect picnic spots combined with untouched nature and architectural heritage. Besides that, and during the summer, Brijuni have an open cinema!<\/p><p>When it comes to Kvarner and Dalmatia, there is really no specific place I would like to mention because their beautiful beaches and forests are perfect for picnic, gathering, and just enjoying yourself and good company! You can visit U\u010dka or the islands of Krk and Cres, beautiful Marjan in Split, forests on the Kor\u010dula island, Dubrovnik, oh, how to choose specific spots between all these coastline jewels? The best advice I have is to choose by your needs and preferences \u2013 but make sure to not choose the one which is situated directly on the sunlight! You don\u2019t want to get sun burns!<\/p><p>For a picnic basket, I would suggest olive oil, homemade bread, tasty salad made of classic Mediterranean ingredients and seasonings, and more!
