Enchanting doors and cobblestone streets


We spent another beautiful afternoon strolling through the streets of Varos, the neighborhood located outside the walls of the Diocletian Palace. I love photographing these traditional homes especially the windows adorned with flowers. I joked with hubby that this winter I wouldn't mind trading our apt by the beach to live here. He didn't find it that amusing.
I was amazed that vehicles were able to maneuver through these narrow streets but I was also a bit annoyed because every few minutes we had to seek shelter and make way for motorcycles and cars trying to squeeze by. Ok, never mind wanting to live here. I guess it would be a bit noisy don't you think?


After walking up these steps (next time I will have to count them) you reach a nice cafe with a rewarding view of the city and its waterfront promenade, better known as Riva.


And these stairs lead down to Riva. It was the first time going this route. It's always fun to discover new things/places in your hometown isn't it? Hope you had a wonderful weekend. Do share the details!
