Paul, you are becoming a contemporary historian. Almost faster than AI. More than respectful. Anybody from Croatian government local or national are you paying attention? If it was up to me you would have a prominent position long time ago. Systematic and soulful work and results ❤

Oh yes, Rab with its legends, ancient fortifications, ibex herd, Nakic organ, St Damjan hilltop, cave of Kalifront, abandoned miners furnaces deep in forest, St Marins birthplace, crossbow festival, original folk music, swamp, desert, gravel packs, ancient Greek observatory... incredible things to discover beside beaches. You don't even have to dig very deep.

You made a video once on how Croats make a mess of English language. You seem to have come across another example there. 😊 It's not "naked island", it's "barren island".

There will have to be a second part and a third part, because you skipped so many things. You kind-ish got lost in promotion of things that everyone already knows if they follow your channel. Maybe you could instead, like, point out weird-ish quirks that nowhere else exist. For example, look at this gem, Island of Prvić, a very small still inhabitated island, with two village harbours that evolved almost isolated one from the other. Why, because village of Prvić Luka were originally settled by indoeuropean tribes and across the hill, the village of Prvić Šepurine were allegedly settled by saracens. And after both villages got christianized, even being so small they did not came to "friendly relations", so even today they celebrate two different saints, having two different festival celebration, locally called "fešta" haha. And there are many of cool things like that. Im not from that island if anyone thinks im biased
