American basketball icon Magic Johnson has returned to Croatia this week, continuing his tradition of summer holidays along the Adriatic coast.

Johnson, who first spent over a month holidaying in Croatia back in 2020, has made return visits in both 2023 and 2024.

The 65-year-old is once again enjoying what the Croatian coast has to offer, visiting popular destinations including Hvar and Split.

“We’ve been having an amazing time in Croatia in Hvar and the city Split. We loved walking around Hvar and finished with lunch at Laganini Beach Club. In Split, we had an incredible dinner at Restaurant Adriatic. The restaurants are wonderful, and all of our meals have been outstanding! The fish and seafood are so fresh, straight from the ocean to your plate, and the Croatian people are great. Cookie, our guests and I are having a ball,” Johnson wrote on social media as he posted a series of holiday snaps.

Johnson has shared his fondness for Croatia several times. After his 2020 visit, he posted a photo of his yacht moored off Korčula and recommended the country to his followers, praising its cuisine and scenic beauty.

Before arriving in Croatia this summer, Johnson also spent time visiting Venice.
