  • Today begins the long trek back south to Dubrovnik to catch a flight to our next country! But we have some pretty epic stops along the way, like the blue Eye of the Earth! The Cetina River Spring is a beautiful, fresh water spring here in Croatia that is the source of one of Croatia's largest rivers! The water is also freezing cold! Should we swim? They call it the eye of the earth because it literally looks like a massive eye from above. Pretty amazing.

    I am from Croatia and this is a spring of fresh water and it is not for swimming because it is drinking water and swimming in it is not alowed.

      But, the news have been brought on national TV, and something has to be done to prevent swimming there :)

    The walls of Ston are much longer than those of its more famous neighbour, Dubrovnik, at 5km in length. This makes them the longest defensive structure in Europe; they are sometimes referred to as the ‘European Walls of China”. The walls once stretched for as long as 7km and they were built in the 14th and 15th centuries as an additional defence for the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik).

    I’ve had friends that visited the spring. They told me the water was for drinking, not swimming and that signs were posted about this. Surprised you ignored them-even if it is not officially outlawed to swim there, it isn’t ethical to do so. Disappointed.

      I was there 5 days ago. There are signs that very clearly say "No swimming", both up at the viewpoint and also down by the spring. Yet, there was a tourist who did it, and she basically said, "Yes, I know the rules, but I just have to do this." Talk about being entitled and disrespectful.
