Some episodes of Croatia Underrated are dedicated to - underratings... that is, poor reviews of Croatian attractions or precious places. In this episode, Iva shares several bad reviews of the top attractions of her home town of Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.

In the first Croatia Underrated episode dedicated to curious historical personalities, I’m going to talk about “the B-side of history”, and that’s herstory: about Croatian women. After all, I started this podcast in March - female history month - so it’s only fair to talk about women. Beware, tough, because I will keep mentioning them throughout the year, just as well.

As announced in the previous episode, we are continuing with the Halloween Specials.
Do you know how we call Halloween in Croatian? Noć vještica. The Night of the Witches.
I guess that it’s only fair to dedicate the entire episode... to the witches! We have an abundance of both mythical and historical witches in Croatia. Hear their stories!

Croatia Underrated - S02 Ep05 - Shout Out - Living Castles
play

09/26/21 • 9 min

There is a project called Living Castles, building a network of 7 castles in Croatia and our neighbor country Slovenia. The project is mostly funded by the European Regional Development Fund. The project partners invested in the enhancement of their heritage presentation. It's mostly through digital technology, such as virtual reality and 3D mapping. Without a doubt, it all adds to a more spectacular experience for a visitor. What I love most is the fact that together, they’re building a network. They're creating a route that could trigger us to visit the seven castles.
This episode is a result of a press trip.

Croatia Underrated - S02 Ep15 - Folk Customs - Lucy's Little Christmas
play

12/11/21 • 14 min

I'm back with some more Croatian Christmas customs. Let’s meet Saint Lucy!
Just like St Nicholas from the previous episode, Lucy is a gift-bringer. It’s another one of those days of joy for Croatian children. Joy with a twist, I’d say. Luckily enough, usually, it’s not the same parts of Croatia that give gifts for St Nicholas and St Lucy’s. Because I’m sure the kids wouldn’t survive both.
Learn about the feast day of St Lucy's colorful customs and traditions. Learn how to foretell the future Croatian way and much more.
