I toured the Plitvice Lakes and was amazed by the different varieties of aquatic animals like the sea turtles. I took a long walk in the Velebit nature park whose beauty was unmatched;the beautiful view added by the green color of the trees was breathtaking. I loved this place.

The architectural art of church built in the Byzantine style was a great piece to marvel at. I learned of the history of the Kistanje village during the 15th century;then it went by the name Kyztane. It is a wonderful place to visit as an art lover.

We sat by the river, the flowing water gave us a refreshing relaxed water, touching the flowing water was therapeutic to me. The Byzantine style of the church made me appreciate architects more and even i loved the creativity depicted in construction of the church. Will definitely come back.
