Best National Park in Croatia: Plitvice Lakes or Krka Waterfalls?

July 7, 2022

When looking for recommendations of what to see in Croatia, I got an overwhelming response suggesting checking out the national park scene. There were two parks that were highly rated and adored!

This recommendation lead me down an internet rabbit hole of discovering these gorgeous parks and I knew we had to go. Thanks to Nomad Life and having a full month in this beautiful country, we were able to take day trips out to both of them.

However, I know when most people visit Croatia they don’t have this much time to spare. So in today’s post, I am going to compare and contrast both Plitvice Lakes and Krka Waterfalls National Parks so you can ultimately decide what’s right for you! (Because trust me, either way, you can’t go wrong!)

Note: It is against the law to swim in National Parks in Croatia to preserve the natural beauty (tourist sunscreen has no business tainting the natural beauty of these parks!). So just be aware that during your visits here, you will be hiking/looking/photographing and not swimming.

Plitvice Lakes National Park Overview:

Of the two national parks, Plitvice Lakes is the older and bigger. Although it was designated a national park in 1949, it gained traction and recognition in the 1970s.  For nature lovers, Plitvice Lakes is heaven on earth.

There are blue hues in the lakes that you never knew existed.

The trails just keep going on and on forever.

You’ll look down and see little fish swimming in the lakes and the water is so clear it looks like you’re peering through glass – but it’s all-natural, baby!

(yes, this photo is taken from above!)

There was one section of the park we particularly loved, and as Disney fans, we playfully named it the “Avatar Section” because it looked like it was straight out of Pandora from Disney’s Animal Kingdom. However… it was REAL! (Disney fans get it so backward sometimes I know – LOL!) But there were these huge rock formations and vines and waterfalls hanging down, we were astounded by the sights.

People come up to Plitvice Lakes to stay because there is so much exploring to be done. You could be out here for days if you wanted to hike all of the trails! However, we felt completely satisfied by doing a day trip with a guide. She took us on the main trail and we truly got our fill. Just be aware that to get from different sections of the park you may need to take a tram or a boat – yes, it is that big!

We chose a GetYourGuide experience and it was fantastic all the way around, I can highly recommend this one! (Just make sure to bring cash because the National Park ticket is not included!).

Overall, Plitvice Lakes is a place I will always remember. I’m sure the pictures don’t even do it justice, but it was truly stunning beyond words.

Plitvice Lakes National Park Pros:

  • The water in Croatia is all beautiful, but the color of Plitvice Lakes is truly stunning. It felt otherworldly and was something to write home about!
  • You have a complete plethora of places to hike and things to do because of the sheer size of the park.
  • There’s a huge variety of things to see in this park – lakes, waterfalls, foliage, fish, rock formations, etc. Your eyes will most definitely not be bored! (even when your feet get a little tired)

Cons:

  • If you’re coming from Split, it is a 3-HOUR RIDE EACH WAY! This is not a quick trip and it’s a lot of driving in one day. However, doing the GetYourGuide bus tour was great because they took care of transport and all we had to do was sit back and relax until we got there.
  • The food options at the park were pretty mediocre – as most parks’ food is. If I was to do this again, I would have packed PB&J’s and snacks for our lunch instead!
  • While size is a pro and a con, the con side is that the park is immensely big so you really will only see a portion of it. (But again, if you take a tour they will make sure you see the highlights!)

Krka Waterfalls National Park Overview:

Krka Waterfalls was our second Croatian National Park day trip and it was absolutely lovely as well. It was established as a National Park in 1985 so it is the newer and smaller of the two. Due to the more manageable size, visiting Krka Waterfalls was such an easy day.

We took a day tour out here are well, thanks to GetYourGuide, and had a few hours on our own to explore the park. We lapped the whole route with time to spare! After doing Plitvice, it was sort of nice to be in a park that was a more manageable size.

There is a wooden pathway that you follow that takes you through the whole park. It is easy to walk on and it’s placed right above the bodies of water so you’re able to see everything up close. We saw a significant amount of wildlife here, too! We saw schools of fish swimming against mini waterfall currents, frogs croaking in the plants, and even neon blue dragonflies flying and playing together.

The waterfalls were stunning. As someone who grew up near Niagara Falls in Buffalo, New York, I am no stranger to a good waterfall. Are these as grand as Niagara Falls? No, however, they are still worth seeing because the backdrop is so different and lush. It has a different (and warmer climate) feel.

Something I loved about Krka Waterfalls National Park was all of the coves you could find. The big waterfall, of course, is the main draw but we found little corners with smaller waterfalls, shaded areas, and beautiful foliage that we spent some time cooling down.

Overall, we had a lovely day visiting Krka Waterfalls. Our wonderful Krka Waterfalls Food & Wine Tasting Tour even gave us the opportunity to do a local wine tasting afterward in a nearby Croatian town! It was a lovely way to taste local food/drink and meet some other travelers!

Krka Waterfalls National Park Pros:

  • Getting to Krka Waterfalls was only a ONE-HOUR RIDE EACH WAY! That felt like bliss after our 3-hour (each way) journey to Plitvice.
  • The size of the park is manageable and you can see it all in a few hours. You won’t feel like you missed anything!
  • Who doesn’t love a giant waterfall!?

Cons:

  • The water is still very gorgeous and blue here, but the color vibrancy of the water at Krka has less of a “wow factor” than at Plitvice
  • If you’re very go-go-go, there is less to do and see at this park!

My Personal Opinion: 

If I only had the opportunity to do one, I would choose Plitvice Lakes!

plitvice-lakes-national-park-croatia

The pace of our day to Krka was much easier than our day out to Plitvice. It is ultimately more enjoyable if you’re looking for a quick day trip, simplicity, and still seeing some National Parks sights. (TRUST ME they are gorgeous!!)

However, we both agree that Plitvice Lakes was something spectacular. I have never seen such vibrant colours of water before. I truly felt like I was wandering through an enchanting Croatian wonderland the entire day. Although the trip is father, if you have time, I would say it’s most definitely worth the hike. (Pun intended)

Thanks for Reading!

I know how important word-of-mouth recommendations are when planning travel, so I am grateful to serve as your “friendly neighborhood travel guide” and make your decisions a little easier.

I hope this article gave you a little bit of clarity on which National Park is best suited for you! Again, you can’t go wrong – it is all about your pace and personal preference of what you want to see. If you’re visiting Croatia, it will be a feast for the eyes no matter where you go. The National Parks do kick that beauty up a notch.

Until next time… Here’s to doing what makes our souls shine. 🥂☀️

STORY TIME: Want to hear about the stupidest thing I've done traveling so far? 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

To kick off our Greek Islands trip, we had a 3 hour ferry ride from Athens to Paros. Between packing, wrapping up work, and saying goodbye to friends we only got about an hour or two of sleep the night before.

I was definitely ready to sleep the entire ferry ride because I was EXHAUSTED. So we had all of our luggage and I tucked my little red bag into the corner so it would be safe as I zonked out.

When we arrived in Paros, I was still a little groggy and totally overwhelmed with how much was going on in the Ferry! This was my first Greek Island ferry so it was crazy crowded and SO BUSY.

Crowds of us were ready to disembark the ship, so we gathered up our belongings, herded like cattle, and went into the Old Town area of Paros.

About 5-7 minutes after getting off the boat - my stomach dropped. I left my purse ON THE FERRY. 😩

It had everything in it too - my passport, my AirPods, my camera, cash, and wallet. I felt SICK.

I physically ran back to the Ferry and they were minutes away from leaving for Santorini, so no one else was allowed on. I started hysterically sobbing.

There was a man from the tour office there who (although was a bit condescending... lol) helped us call the boat and see if they could find it. 

We, thankfully, remembered all of the details of where we were sitting and they said over the phone that they were able to locate the bag. However, it was 12 PM and the ship wasn't coming back until 7 PM!

Long story short, I lived in a bout of complete uncertainty during that entire day, but they held my bag at reception so I could come to collect it right away when the ferry circled back.

This took a lot of trust and surrender on my part, but I am SO GRATEFUL they had it and that it all worked out. 

And it gave us the chance to explore Old Town Paros which was adorable. 🌞

This is the first time anything like this has happened in our many months of traveling, so I'm SUPER thankful it turned out okay. But this is definitely your sign to pay attention (and take a picture) of where you're sitting during your travels! That info may come in handy again. 😅

But this is definitely your sign to pay attention (and take a picture) of where you're sitting during your travels! That info may come in handy again. 😅

Come along with us on today’s #traveltuesday which is all about PALERMO 🇮🇹

You're going to notice a big trend in today's video... which is that we ate A LOT of pasta. 🍝 

This was definitely a jam-packed week. We checked out the Cathedral of Palermo, went to one of the markets, ate at a plethora of restaurants, and even took a day trip to a nearby town named Cefalù, which is where they filmed Indiana Jones 5!

Best of the Best in Palermo so far:
☼ Best Pizza: Torquemada (Blu Mountain sub tomato sauce with stuffed crust)
☼ Best Pasta: Pastando (Amitricana or Cacio e Pepe with Paccheri Pasta)
☼ Best Wine: Pastando (Castelluccimiano Miane Bianco 2019)
☼ Best Matcha Latte: Vera Coffice Break (iced, sub soy milk)

Save this post for these word-of-mouth recs ALONE ⬆️ Palermo has so many hidden gems!

Which one looks the best to you? 😍

You guys know I love finding obscure Disney connections around the world... and Athens shockingly had one of my favorites! ♥️♣️♦️♠️

It was called "Little Kook” and let me tell ya... IT WAS KOOKY, that’s for sure! 🤪

It was like Alice in Wonderland absolutely EXPLODED all over this cafe and in the streets. There were so many familiar faces like Alice herself, the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, the Playing Cards, etc! It was wild to say the least - moreso impressive than anything! 🤯

And their menu was extensive too - tons of desserts and sweets that would make you feel madder than the Mad Hatter! ☕️🎂 I ordered the blueberry lemon cake (because it was my unbirthday… duh!) and it was gigantic and DELICIOUS! 🫐 

What do we think, Disney fans? Is this somewhere you would want to visit? 🤩

STORY TIME: Want to hear about the stupidest thing I've done traveling so far? 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

To kick off our Greek Islands trip, we had a 3 hour ferry ride from Athens to Paros. Between packing, wrapping up work, and saying goodbye to friends we only got about an hour or two of sleep the night before.

I was definitely ready to sleep the entire ferry ride because I was EXHAUSTED. So we had all of our luggage and I tucked my little red bag into the corner so it would be safe as I zonked out.

When we arrived in Paros, I was still a little groggy and totally overwhelmed with how much was going on in the Ferry! This was my first Greek Island ferry so it was crazy crowded and SO BUSY.

Crowds of us were ready to disembark the ship, so we gathered up our belongings, herded like cattle, and went into the Old Town area of Paros.

About 5-7 minutes after getting off the boat - my stomach dropped. I left my purse ON THE FERRY. 😩

It had everything in it too - my passport, my AirPods, my camera, cash, and wallet. I felt SICK.

I physically ran back to the Ferry and they were minutes away from leaving for Santorini, so no one else was allowed on. I started hysterically sobbing.

There was a man from the tour office there who (although was a bit condescending... lol) helped us call the boat and see if they could find it. 

We, thankfully, remembered all of the details of where we were sitting and they said over the phone that they were able to locate the bag. However, it was 12 PM and the ship wasn't coming back until 7 PM!

Long story short, I lived in a bout of complete uncertainty during that entire day, but they held my bag at reception so I could come to collect it right away when the ferry circled back.

This took a lot of trust and surrender on my part, but I am SO GRATEFUL they had it and that it all worked out. 

And it gave us the chance to explore Old Town Paros which was adorable. 🌞

This is the first time anything like this has happened in our many months of traveling, so I'm SUPER thankful it turned out okay. But this is definitely your sign to pay attention (and take a picture) of where you're sitting during your travels! That info may come in handy again. 😅

Crowds of us were ready to disembark the ship, so we gathered up our belongings, herded like cattle, and went into the Old Town area of Paros.

About 5-7 minutes after getting off the boat - my stomach dropped. I left my purse ON THE FERRY. 😩

It had everything in it too - my passport, my AirPods, my camera, cash, and wallet. I felt SICK.

I physically ran back to the Ferry and they were minutes away from leaving for Santorini, so no one else was allowed on. I started hysterically sobbing.

There was a man from the tour office there who (although was a bit condescending... lol) helped us call the boat and see if they could find it. 

We, thankfully, remembered all of the details of where we were sitting and they said over the phone that they were able to locate the bag. However, it was 12 PM and the ship wasn't coming back until 7 PM!

Long story short, I lived in a bout of complete uncertainty during that entire day, but they held my bag at reception so I could come to collect it right away when the ferry circled back.

This took a lot of trust and surrender on my part, but I am SO GRATEFUL they had it and that it all worked out. 

And it gave us the chance to explore Old Town Paros which was adorable. 🌞

This is the first time anything like this has happened in our many months of traveling, so I'm SUPER thankful it turned out okay. But this is definitely your sign to pay attention (and take a picture) of where you're sitting during your travels! That info may come in handy again. 😅
STORY TIME: Want to hear about the stupidest thing I've done traveling so far? 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

To kick off our Greek Islands trip, we had a 3 hour ferry ride from Athens to Paros. Between packing, wrapping up work, and saying goodbye to friends we only got about an hour or two of sleep the night before.

Come along with us on today’s #traveltuesday which is all about PALERMO 🇮🇹

You're going to notice a big trend in today's video... which is that we ate A LOT of pasta. 🍝 

This was definitely a jam-packed week. We checked out the Cathedral of Palermo, went to one of the markets, ate at a plethora of restaurants, and even took a day trip to a nearby town named Cefalù, which is where they filmed Indiana Jones 5!

Best of the Best in Palermo so far:
☼ Best Pizza: Torquemada (Blu Mountain sub tomato sauce with stuffed crust)
☼ Best Pasta: Pastando (Amitricana or Cacio e Pepe with Paccheri Pasta)
☼ Best Wine: Pastando (Castelluccimiano Miane Bianco 2019)
☼ Best Matcha Latte: Vera Coffice Break (iced, sub soy milk)

Save this post for these word-of-mouth recs ALONE ⬆️ Palermo has so many hidden gems!

Which one looks the best to you? 😍

You guys know I love finding obscure Disney connections around the world... and Athens shockingly had one of my favorites! ♥️♣️♦️♠️

It was called "Little Kook” and let me tell ya... IT WAS KOOKY, that’s for sure! 🤪

It was like Alice in Wonderland absolutely EXPLODED all over this cafe and in the streets. There were so many familiar faces like Alice herself, the Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, the Playing Cards, etc! It was wild to say the least - moreso impressive than anything! 🤯

And their menu was extensive too - tons of desserts and sweets that would make you feel madder than the Mad Hatter! ☕️🎂 I ordered the blueberry lemon cake (because it was my unbirthday… duh!) and it was gigantic and DELICIOUS! 🫐 

What do we think, Disney fans? Is this somewhere you would want to visit? 🤩

Now that I’m physically in Italy… let’s start posting about GREECE 🤣🇬🇷

Our nomad life "home base" for Greece was Athens! I’ve heard mixed things about Athens and truth be told, I ended up having mixed feelings about this city myself! Some things I've loved and others I was underwhelmed by!

Here's my Pros and Cons list for Athens, Greece:

Pros:
- Getting to see the Acropolis in person was absolutely surreal, the pillars are so beautifully crafted
- I got to reunite with some old faves here like Starbucks and Sephora, that weren't in Croatia and/or the UK
- Athens is pretty affordable. Our least expensive Airbnb yet and very reasonably priced Ubers and restaurants
- They have a great metro system to get around the city
- Greek culture is wonderful
- There's an Airport here and a Ferry Port!
- GREEK FOOD!! Gyro sandwiches for daysss

Cons:
- It was SO HOT. Like 97 degrees daily.
- The traffic was super heavy and crazy... I felt like I was playing Frogger every time we crossed the street 😅
- I wouldn't feel safe walking around solo here in a lot of areas 
- Not very clean
- There actually wasn't a ton to do compared to other cities we had been to! Once you saw the historical sights and ate at a few restaurants, that was pretty much it! (but lowkey that was a pro for me because I needed a good rest 🤣)

Would I return to Athens? Honestly, probably not on my own accord... maybe if we had a flight, ferry, or itinerary passing through. 

But I loved the opportunities Athens gave us last month... reuniting with friends, seeing historical sights, a great affordable Airbnb, and being close enough to catch a Ferry to the Greek Islands! I’m grateful we got to experience it!

Have you ever been to Athens? What did you think?

- They have a great metro system to get around the city
- Greek culture is wonderful
- There's an Airport here and a Ferry Port!
- GREEK FOOD!! Gyro sandwiches for daysss

Cons:
- It was SO HOT. Like 97 degrees daily.
- The traffic was super heavy and crazy... I felt like I was playing Frogger every time we crossed the street 😅
- I wouldn't feel safe walking around solo here in a lot of areas 
- Not very clean
- There actually wasn't a ton to do compared to other cities we had been to! Once you saw the historical sights and ate at a few restaurants, that was pretty much it! (but lowkey that was a pro for me because I needed a good rest 🤣)

Would I return to Athens? Honestly, probably not on my own accord... maybe if we had a flight, ferry, or itinerary passing through. 

But I loved the opportunities Athens gave us last month... reuniting with friends, seeing historical sights, a great affordable Airbnb, and being close enough to catch a Ferry to the Greek Islands! I’m grateful we got to experience it!

Have you ever been to Athens? What did you think?

Now that I’m physically in Italy… let’s start posting about GREECE 🤣🇬🇷

Our nomad life "home base" for Greece was Athens! I’ve heard mixed things about Athens and truth be told, I ended up having mixed feelings about this city myself! Some things I've loved and others I was underwhelmed by!

Here's my Pros and Cons list for Athens, Greece:

Pros:
- Getting to see the Acropolis in person was absolutely surreal, the pillars are so beautifully crafted
- I got to reunite with some old faves here like Starbucks and Sephora, that weren't in Croatia and/or the UK
- Athens is pretty affordable. Our least expensive Airbnb yet and very reasonably priced Ubers and restaurants
- They have a great metro system to get around the city
- Greek culture is wonderful

- GREEK FOOD!! Gyro sandwiches for daysss
