SLIKAMILINA
                                   Painting & Photography Tours

A new business owned by Nick Milina in Croatia and guided by his daughter Lynda Milina, who lives in Ottawa, Canada. After 40 years in Canada, and 40 Canadian winters, Nick moved back to a more temperate Croatia for his retirement. Lynda, a Croatian, South-African, Canadian (now that’s a mouthful!), grew up in Kingston, Ontario, Canada and spent every second summer in Lumbarda, Croatia visiting with her family. As an adult she has continued to visit regularly particularly since Nick returned to his homeland.

Nick had a successful self-employed career in carpentry while in Canada and continues to renovate old homes in Lumbarda, amongst other agricultural interests like making his own wine and olive oil. Lynda, after graduating from University (with one year in Granada, Spain) and following a short stint in Real Estate, decided she enjoyed looking at the design of the interiors more then selling the house itself. She went on to study Interior Design, which lead her into a 10 year career in and outside the industry.

Having developed a love for travel, sparked by yearly holidays all over the world during her childhood, Lynda continues to explore, selecting new and exciting locations for her annual trips. August 2007 included a return trip to her mother’s homeland of South Africa for a 3 week safari. Art being her other outlet, Lynda has participated in volunteer projects for the Arts, Craft shows, and most recently photography - All photography on this site was taken by Lynda. Nick, who prefers to stay close to home and enjoys a tranquil life on the Island, hosts many friends who visit him on a regular basis.

Having not quite figured out why she never incorporated work with travel, Lynda decided to embark on just that! And with Nick’s hometown offering an idyllic place to travel to… Nick and Lynda hope you will join them in getting to know Island Korcula, and preserving it in paintings and photographs to showcase in your own home.
