S02 Ep12 - Shout Out - Horror Movies, a Podcast, and Ghost Tours
Croatia Underrated
10/30/21 • 12 min
This is our very last of Halloween Specials. In this short episode, I’m bringing you a bunch of recommendations.
Have you already made a list of movies to watch this Halloween? Fear not (or be afraid, be very afraid), Croatia Underrated is here to help. Even if you’ve never been to Croatia, you might be more familiar with it than you’re aware of. You might have seen it - on the TV screen.
Learn about the movies filmed in Croatia, and links between the country and some famous horror movies. There is also my top 5 choice of horror movies filmed in Croatia!
While we're at things to do on Halloween, I recommend a great new podcast about (dark) Slavic lore.
Last but not least, who says Croatia doesn't have any ghost tours?
Happy Halloween! Sretna Noć vještica!

S02 Ep03 - Shout Out - Perunfest
Croatia Underrated
09/21/21 • 9 min
Perunfest is one of the most artistic and creative festivals in the country. It gathers so many artists, craftsmen, and performers who, through their shows, revive the myths of old. The name of the festival derives from the word Perun. That’s the ancient Slavic thunder god. Stories related to Perun bear some similarities to the Norse Thor or Greek Zeus.
This year’s main topic was mythical creatures of the region called moguts. Zdenko Bašić, a famous Croatian artist, and the Museum of Turopolje region have joined forces in several projects, including publishing a lavish book about mogut creatures. Together, they have been organizing this festival, too, for several years now.
S02 Ep07 - Quick Croatian Class - Tongue Twisters
Croatia Underrated
10/07/21 • 10 min
It’s finally time for another Quick Croatian Class. A lot of you told me that you had a great time listening to the first Quick Croatian Class that was published as Ep08 of S01. In fact, it’s been the second most popular episode so far, believe it or not. That’s why I decided to prepare as much as two of those for this season.
With this one, I’m raising the bar for you. Now that you successfully mastered how to say Croatia in Croatian, I’m dedicating this entire episode to Croatian tongue-twisters. As if the entire Croatian isn’t tongue-twisting:) This could be considered another lesson in reading Croatian. Once you master the tongue-twisters, you will read Croatian perfectly.
S02 Ep06 - Curious Personalities - Bakar Water Carrier
Croatia Underrated
09/29/21 • 11 min
A story about Ivan Čop, known as the blind watercarrier of Bakar. There is no better medium to tell this story. This way, you will simply have to imagine how he and the world around him looked like. That’s as close as you can get to his experience of his own town.

Croatia Underrated
09/22/21 • 18 min
This episode takes us to Croatian coast, exploring the wonders of my favorite town on the Croatian coast - Rogoznica. Some call it the heart of Dalmatia.
Listen to the story about the Dragon Lake, the medieval church of St Nicholas, and a mystical 13th-century graveyard that surrounds it, about the magical sunsets, the call of the waves, and about Punta Planka - one of the deadliest points of Adriatic.
Join me in picturing a fantasy map of Rogoznica.
