YVES V INTERVIEW WITH FRANKIE SALT
Do you have a personal highlight from your gigs or an experience you have had in Croatia?
ZRCE Spring Break was amazing! The crowd, the atmosphere and the location was just so stunning as well, right on the breach to bring the biggest Summer vibe!
In your opinion, why is the Adriatic Coast such a winner?
I think a big part of it is the beautiful scenery all across the coast. It is breathtaking and perfect for the summer months when the weather is perfect. It has a real Mediterranean feel but in it’s own individual way; fresh foods, fun parties and the perfect break that is easy to get to from all over Europe.
If you have a place, which you don’t mind sharing – do you know of anywhere special, & a bit off the map in Croatia? Could be a restaurant, hidden beach?
Boskinac is an amazing hotel that also has a winery and Michelin-starred restaurant on-site, such a great relaxing place. Everything from the architecture, that is classic stone set into the hills, over to the blue skies – it’s an amazing must-visit!
If you could play any party in Croatia, which event would it be & why?
The club at ZCRE Beach that has been voted one of the best in Croatia many times!
What 3 words would you use to describe the culture of Croatia?
Energetic, Independent, diverse.
