Interview with Korcula based artist Edita Pecotic

Korčula artist Edita Pecotic’s Temporary Internet Files are a testament to the beauty and tranquillity of the Croatian island.  The time-lapse videos are all shot from the same perspective with a heavenly view through the trees and over the sea.  The files are meditations on the seasonal changes in Korčula, and as video works the medium nods at our contemporary perception of time.  Watch the undulating water and changing sunlight of the most recent videos as a meditation, a reflection of Korčula’s winter tranquillity.

What is the deal with bunnies?

If like us you’ve survived the freakish winter, the new decade slog at work, the tedious post New Year chats, you’re probably starting to feel a bit like robots. Yes? Then, do something about it. We might not be able to offer you hot hot hot, but we can offer you a change of scenery. We know how sometimes you can’t pinpoint what you want so it blurts out as “sun, oh god the sun, I miss the sun”. It’s maybe not just the sun. We need a bit of variation as going to a different supermarket or taking a different route home is a start but it really isn’t as environment changing as we’d like.

We’re looking out for your needs, for your welfare and happiness. Think of us as something between a shoulder to cry on and fun fascists.

Go away for Easter – you have no idea how happy it will make you.

Check out these tips for couples and with friends.

Spring in Dalmatia

Spring is a beautiful time to visit Dalmatia with warm weather and clear skies making it an ideal time explore the land and sea.  The stunning Lesic Dimitri Palace in Korcula, Croatia invites you to enjoy the local Easter celebrations and fruits of early spring as the island comes to life again after a peaceful winter.

Cruise the islands before the summer crowds on their stunning sailing boat, enjoy a private tour of the historic sights of the medieval town or go foraging for wild asparagus – a local obsession.

Take advantage of their Easter offers with your family and children’s activities from traditional egg painting to buggy island adventures are also available.  They have a number of special packages for the Easter period, or if you want something a bit more bespoke, you can call them to tailor one to your specific requests.

Do it in a group. Valentines Ideas Pt. III.

You know what? PAH! To these couples and romance hunters, thinking they’re the most important thing mid February. Even if you are in a loving, happy, adult consenting relationship then have you already forgotten rule number one? Don’t forget your friends. Having a city break with your pals doesn’t have to be as “profound” as sex in the city and the bonds with your peers should not be just about throwing a load of money at it – have fun, experience new things, laugh LOTS. Forget about having someone who will eventually turn you mad by finishing all the milk and not letting your cat in. Group it, who knows where it will lead if you’re all good looking enough.

We’ve got two hotels in particular that are perfect for rolling around with chums and pals. Metropolitan friends will compete on how urban and industrial their homes are, so get to grips with that mentality at the Greulich Hotel in Zurich. Lesic Dimitri Palace in Korcula, Croatia on the other hand, will make you’ll feel like the medieval “It” crowd. Both properties are intimate enough for you to take over completely with your friends, whatever time of year.

The Lesci Dimitri Palace in Korcula, Croatia offers you a perfect group activity to indulge in with friends this Valentines. Check it out in full over here.

Remember this Valentines…Its not just important who you do, but where you do them.
