Nea Dune | MerAdria

M e r A d r i a is the first and only Croatian mermaid movement and eco-events with a cause, benefitting the Adriatic Sea and its marine life - brought to you by certified local professionals in sync/love with our planet🔱established in 2021 as a pioneer mermaid project in the Balkan region and countries of ex-Yugoslavia.

Local name Hrvatska - a land of a 1000 islands with centuries of rich history and breathtaking nature, easily justifies its famed hashtag #croatiafulloflife awarded "Most Desirable European Country 2023" by Wanderlust Travel Awards, and "Cleanest swimming water in Europe 2024" by European Commission and European Environment Agency (also home to a star-shaped river town with mermaids on its crest - where MerAdria's creator SireNea hails from)
