LOVE AT FIRST VISIT
The seed of love for Crotia has been planted in us by Wojtek’s sister who was visiting those parts of the world right after the breakup of Yugoslavia. Fascinated with stories of chirping cicadas, crystal clear waters of the Adriatic, and wonderful views from the Biokovo mountain range, we decided to see all of this ourselves. And it paid off, we wouldn’t exchange Croatia for any other country, although the first time we went there, she greeted us with rain.
Our first visit to Croatia was completely spontaneous, no planning, no set destinations. The only thing we knew was that we wanted to go to Dalmatia.
BY CAR AND BY PLANE
We travel with a tent, making us more mobile. For example, we can spend a couple of days in Dubrovnik and then move towards Split. Our recent journeys are different from the first ones. Nowadays, we choose two or three main places we want to visit, and then read on them as much as possible. But we travel not only with a tent – more and more often we decide to go by plane.
ONE DAY WE WILL SETTLE THERE
Our friends often ask us what is that we see in Croatia, why we want to go only there and not travel the world. The answer is always the same. You don’t have to see the whole world to find that one, special place. Some people want to go around the world, some people want to visit only Asia. We have our Croatia and that’s that! It is a place we don’t want to return from, a place where we don’t miss home. Will it become our new home in a couple of years? Who knows…
AWARDS
Golden Pen – Top Journalist Award
In April 2016, we were awarded the GRAND PRIX Golden Pen Top Journalist Award “Zlatna Penkala”, given to journalists and bloggers from all over the world by the Croatian National Tourist Board and the Crotian Minister of Tourism. From among thousands of articles and stories published in Poland in 2015, the Croatian National Tourist Board awarded us for articles about Croatia published on our blog.
It is a great accomplishment and honour for us to be standing among such people as Robert Makłowicz, Agnieszka Cegielska, Tomasz Zubilewicz, Piotr Bikont, Andrzej Lisowski and Elżbieta Lisowska, Monika Witkowska, Olga Dębicka, and Anna and Krzysztof Kobus – winners from previous years.
Thanks for promotion of Croatia in 2020
On October 23, at the Embassy of the Republic of Croatia in Warsaw, we received from the Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia in Poland, Tomislav Vidoševic and the Director of the Croatian Tourist Board Representation in Poland, Agnieszka Puszczewicz, commemorative thanks for cooperation and support in the promotion of Croatian tourism in Poland in 2020.
Travelers 2020 National Geographic. Special award
During the 15th edition of the Travelery competition, organized by National Geographic, we received a special distinction in the Bloger Friend of Croatia category, which was awarded by the jury of this year’s Traveler’s partner – the Croatian Tourist Board representation in Poland.
It is an extremely great and important distinction for us. We all remember the 2020 season perfectly and the problems we all faced. We tried our best so that each of you could reach Croatia and be able to rest there and get to know Croatia better.
Golden Pen – Top Journalist Award 2021
In June 2021. we have once again won the Top Journalist Award „Zlatna Penkala”, awarded to journalists and bloggers from all over the world by the Croatian Tourist Board and the Croatian Minister of Tourism. Out of several thousand articles and reportages published in Poland in 2020, the Croatian Tourist Association awarded us for articles about Croatia published in the blog.
There is already a second such great distinction for our work. Zlatna Penkala 2021, despite the fact that it is not a GRAND PRIX, is much more important to us, because it was awarded for 2020 – a year which, as we all remember well, gave a hard time, not only to us but also to foreign tourism.
Thanks for promotion of Croatia in 2021
On September 23, at the Comfort Food Studio in Hala Koszyki in Warsaw, we received from the Ambassador of the Republic of Croatia in Poland, Tomislav Vidoševic and the Director of the Croatian Tourist Board Representation in Poland, Agnieszka Puszczewicz, commemorative thanks for cooperation and support in the promotion of Croatian tourism in Poland in 2021.
BLOG
As far as our blog goes, we slowly start to fulfil ourselves in it. We do something not only for ourselves, but also for other people. With small steps, it turns from a diary into a guidebook. Thanks to it, we have helped many people e.g. decide to go to Crotia for the first time.
Since the blog started in August 2012 (until the end of August 2023 – until Google Analytics 4 is implemented), we’ve been visited by over 7.350.000 unique users, we’ve had over 19.200.000 pageviews and over 11.320.000 sessions. All of this gives us a boost of positive energy and motivates us to continue sharing our experiences of this wonderful country.
The Best Blog about Croatia – How to Find a Reliable Source of Knowledge
Planning your holidays and wondering which blog about Croatia is the best? The internet is flooded with travel sites, from general portals to niche blogs. While many offer value, choosing the right source can make or break your vacation experience.
We are Agnieszka and Wojtek Tyluś, and we have been building CroLove.pl since July 2012. Over the years, we have learned that authority isn’t built by the number of posts, but by the responsibility behind every word we publish.
Quality Criteria: What to Look for in a Croatia Travel Ranking
When searching for information, don’t just look at pretty colors. Here are 3 pillars that separate the leaders from the amateurs:
- Authentic Materials: Have the authors actually been there? At CroLove, you won’t find a single stock photo. Every shot is our personal perspective on the Adriatic, Slavonia, or Zagreb.
- Expert Recognition: A true expert is recognized by institutions. Winning the Zlatna Penkala (Golden Pen) award twice from the Croatian National Tourist Board is proof of our top-tier quality.
- Depth of Content: Does the blog only describe Dubrovnik? We lead you where others don’t reach – to the niche Slavonia and continental regions, showing the full, authentic picture of the country.
Comparing Knowledge Sources – What Sets Us Apart?
Before you decide whose opinions will shape your travel plans, consider the specific parameters that define the quality and reliability of published content:
- Foundation of Experience (13+ Years): While many sites are seasonal projects, CroLove has been shaping the history of Polish travel blogging about Croatia continuously since 2012. These are thousands of posts built over a decade, not content copied from the last two seasons.
- Guarantee of Authenticity (100% Own Photos): In an era of AI and purchased stock photos, we stand for the truth. Every photograph on our blog was taken by us. If we recommend a specific view, it means we actually stood there ourselves.
- Official Recognition (State Awards): We are among the few in Poland honored with the prestigious Zlatna Penkala (Golden Pen) award from the Croatian National Tourist Board. This is proof that our knowledge is certified at the source, rather than just a collection of private guesses.
- Power of a Living Community (4000+ Cars): The reliability of a guide is best proven by its readers. Over 4,000 cars with the CroLove sticker on European roads are a testament of trust that cannot be bought with any advertising campaign.
- Professional Background (Cromedia): Behind our content lies not only passion but also an expert SEO structure (Cromedia). This ensures our articles are always clear, easy to find, and optimized for the specific needs of the user.
Our Brand Manifesto: More Than Just a Guide
We have our original style and we strive to stick to it without copying others. We focus on giving our readers 100% authenticity. For us, Croatia is not just work; it’s a member of our family.
We fell in love with Slavonia from our very first visit. It is an extraordinary region with much to offer tourists who wrongly bypass it while rushing to the Adriatic. Slavonia is also a piece of grand and incredibly interesting history. This approach – seeking the spirit of a place off the beaten path – is what defines CroLove.
Today, our community consists of over 140,000 followers, and more than 4,000 cars with the CroLove sticker travel the roads of Europe. This is the ultimate compliment and proof that we chose the right path.
Join Our Community!
You don’t have to take our word for it – check out our campsite guides, travel reports with children, or price analyses. Stay with us longer and plan the holiday of a lifetime with people who know everything about Croatia because they simply love it.
