Travel documents A valid passport or some other form of identification recognised internationally - for some states, an ID is also valid (a document proving the identity and citizenship of the bearer). Information: Diplomatic missions and consular offices of the Republic of Croatia or the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs of the Republic of Croatia (Tel. +385 1 4569 964, E-mail: stranci@mvep.hr, medjunarodnopravna.pomoc@ mvep.hr, vize@mvep.hr, web: www.mvep.hr). Customs regulations The customs regulations of the Republic of Croatia are harmonised with the regulations and standards of the European Union. The import of personal luggage is exempt from import duties, without any limits or relation to its value, provided that the traveller can prove that all the luggage was declared at the time of departure to the person responsible for its transport.This applies to each traveller who enters the EU, regardless of whether he carries the luggage with him or it arrives separately. Personal luggage, which by its type and quantity is not for resale but solely for the personal use of passengers and members of their family, is exempt from import duties if its total value does not exceed the equivalent value of HRK 2,200.00; or for air and sea transport the value of HRK 3,200.00. Exemption applies to each passenger individually, and can be applied only once per day. Those items where the value exceeds the specified amount or are not considered to be personal luggage are subject to customs duties and value added tax (and possibly excise duties as well). The luggage of passengers under 15 years old is exempt from import duties up to a total value of the equivalent of 1,100.00 kuna, regardless of the mode of transport used. Passengers are obliged to report to the Customs Service when they are carrying the equivalent of 10,000 Euros or more in cash, whatever the currency, or in any other means
of payment, such as cheques, whenever they enter or leave the EU. Foreign nationals and Croatians, who are resident in another country, may temporarily bring in items for their personal use, as well as for the use of their family members, without being liable to import duties. Also, people residing in the EU may temporarily export items they need during their stay in a third country. The personal belongings of passengers are any items, whether new or used, which a traveller may reasonably need for his personal use during the journey excluding all goods being imported for commercial purposes. Examples of personal items are: video cameras, portable TV sets and audio devices, cameras, laptops, PCs, camping, sailing, scuba diving, skiing, skating and hiking equipment, caravans, pleasure craft, portable medical devices with accessories (if necessary for the passenger), pets and the like. The import of such goods is made by oral declaration without any particular customs formalities at the border crossing. The re-export of the above items is done in the same way. When a passenger imports or exports valuable professional equipment, when entering or leaving the Republic of Croatia, he must complete a "List of Goods" in triplicate at the border. If necessary, he must attach an insurance document to pay any customs duties which may arise. Individuals, who are neither resident nor have a usual address in the European Union, are entitled to a refund of value added tax (VAT) on the goods they have purchased in Croatia, if the value of the goods exceeds 740 kuna per purchase. The refund is obtained upon presentation of the completed form VAT-P, ie Tax free form. This form must be certified, within 3 months of the date stated on the invoice or delivery note, by Customs when taking the goods out of the European Union. The foreign citizen must submit the request for the refund of VAT within six months of the date of purchase. For further information, please contact Customs Administration (www.carina.hr). For information on the regulations relating to importing personal shipments and products of animal origin in personal luggage, please contact the Ministry of Agriculture – Administration for Veterinary Medicine and Food Safety (Tel: + 385 1 6443 540), www.mps.hr.

ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION Dear Guests, Small family-run hotels are a new feature of Croatian tourism. They encompass all the qualities of Croatian tourism with which you are already familiar, but they add qualities which have only become apparent in recent years. So, if it seems to you that this catalogue is something novel out of Croatia, you are not mistaken. Allow us to present a few of the reasons why small family-run hotels are a new chapter in the supply of our tourist opportunities. Undoubtedly, the most important is the one which tells us that a guest feels most comfortable in an environment which is close, intimate and family-like. In other words, where one’s individuality is recognised, where individual wishes and preferences are respected; where one’s host knows exactly how to make each and everyone feel welcome, accepted, respected and of course, content. The warmth of the personal touch is irreplaceable and small family-run hotels are the very form of tourism in Croatia which succeeds in embracing such warmth. Somebody once described them as small hotels with a large soul. To provide you with the opportunity of meeting the best that Croatia has to offer, each hotel presented in this catalogue is a genuine reflection of the tradition of the area in which it is located. With the intention of enabling you to get to know authentic, native local values, every hotel tells its own very individual story. There are many ways to do this - through a style of architecture which reflects the climate in which the hotel is situated, its specific interior decoration, the aromas and flavours of the local cuisine, a wine list typical of the locality, excursion tours to landscapes which cannot be found anywhere else, or sport and recreational activities which, for certain locations in Croatia, were tailor-made. The colour of local life can best be experienced through encounters with the local people and, of course, with the hotel owner. In other words, the true spirit of the locality can be experienced in every hotel. This spirit is probably the common thread linking all the hotels presented in this catalogue, although each one is different from the other in so many ways. To select something different, something specific, to opt for something individual - that is what we would like you to have in mind while browsing this catalogue.
We are confident that you will make the choice that is right for you.

ABOUT CROATIA All those who have come to Croatia down the ages left behind a little of themselves in their passing. That said, they eventually departed with a tiny piece of her within themselves; something present day holiday makers will doubtless testify.
Croatia is a geographical region which has attracted people from time immemorial. On its soil, various cultures have come into contact, intertwined and even merged: Illyrians, Celts, Ancient Greeks and Romans. When they departed, this land became an intersection between the Eastern and Western Roman Empires. Then the Franks arrived, followed by the Byzantines. Here, ancient Slavic deities met face to face with those of the Illyrians, as did the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, as did Christianity and Islam. If we continue this story down to the present, we realise that Croatia has always been a world where other worlds meet. The Roman, Hellenic, Germanic, Hungarian, Ottoman and Slavic worlds came and went, and all throughout this time the Croats have always been, and remained, what they are: Croats. The contact with other cultures only resulted in an enrichment of their own culture. This is why the history book of Croatia exudes a different aroma on every page. If a blend of differences and diversities serves to enrich, then Croatia is a treasure trove of inestimable wealth. It would seem that Croatia’s fate was predestined by her geographical characteristics. Within its small area, Croatia encompasses the sunny Mediterranean, pre-Alpine
mountains and the Pannonian Plains and that is by no means all. Hidden within each of those larger regions are several quite distinct areas. Did you know, for instance, that the Croatian word krš became a term accepted worldwide for a region dominated by stone? Or that Croatia is called the “land of a thousand islands”? Did you know that Croatia is one of the European countries richest in water? This scale of diversity is best reflected in a natural heritage which comprises eight distinct national parks: the Plitvice Lakes (designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO), Krka, Kornati, Brijuni, Mljet, Northern Velebit, Paklenica and Risnjak. There are also the Nature Parks of Kopački Rit (wetlands), Medvednica Mountain, Lonjsko Polje, Mount Velebit, the Biokovo Mountain, Telašćica, the Učka Mountain, Papuk, Vransko Jezero (the Vrana Lake), the Žumberak - Samobor mountains and Lastovo archipelago. Many have experienced Croatia’s wealth of diversity through their palate, at the table, savouring dishes the names of which are geographically defined: Pag cheese, Drniš prosciutto, Istrian soup, Cres lamb, Gorski kotar tripe, Kvarner scampi, Zagorje štrukli, Komiža sweet bread, Ston oysters, Međimurje pie... The tastes of all these dishes differ completely from each other, but their common link lies in their excellence and in the fact that they are purely Croatian. Wine connoisseurs may continue to add to this list by themselves.
On the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity are the festival of Saint Blaise, the patron of Dubrovnik; lace-making in the towns of Lepoglava, in northern Croatia, and Hvar and Pag, on the islands of the same name; the annual Carnival bell ringers' pageant from the area of Kastav in
9
The powerful, creative impulse issuing from the diversified interweave of the land is shown by the masterpieces created by the hand of man. The UNESCO World Heritage List confirms the unique and universal values of the old city of Dubrovnik, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, St. James’ Cathedral in Šibenik, the medieval core of the city of Trogir, the complex of the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč and the Stari Grad plain on Hvar.
ABOUT CROATIA Primorje region; the procession "Za Križen", (following of the Cross), on the island of Hvar; two-part singing and playing in the Istrian scale, in Istria and Hrvatsko Primorje; the annual spring procession of "Kraljice/Ljelje" (Queens) from Gorjani in Slavonia region; the traditional manufacture of wooden toys in the Hrvatsko Zagorje region; the cappella "Klapa" singing of Dalmatia in southern Croatia, the Sinjska Alka- a knights' tournament in Sinj, in the Cetinska Krajina region; the gingerbread craft from northern Croatia; the traditional music including the "Bećarac" from the Slavonija, Baranja and Srijem regions, the traditional dance "Nijemo kolo" from the Dalmatinska Zagora region; the Mediterranean diet on the Croatian Adriatic and the ‘Picigin’ beach ball game. Croatia is among the countries with the most protected intangible cultural heritage inscribed on UNESCO's List. Musical expression Ojkanje is on the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in need of urgent safeguarding. Living surrounded by such pinnacles of creative efforts can only serve to further energise the creative drive and it comes as no surprise to learn that this happened to many Croats. This was the case of Korčula-born Marco Polo, the legendary traveller who in the 13th century revealed China to the Western world. In the 16th century, Faust Vrančić of Šibenik invented the first modern-day parachute. Julije Klović of Grižane, near Novi Vinodolski, the greatest miniaturist in Europe, was known as the Michelangelo of miniatures. El Greco, his student, painted the image of his teacher together with Michelangelo, Rafael and Titian. In the 4th century, Marin, a master stone carver from Rab, founded the city-state of San Marino. Nikola Tesla, from the village of Smiljan in the Lika region, is an inventor without whose contributions to the fields of electrical engineering and radiophony, and many other areas, modern-day civilization would be difficult to envisage. Ivana Brlić Mažuranić of Slavonski Brod, a writer of children’s stories at the beginning of the 20th century, has with good reason been called the Croatian Andersen. In the 19th century, David Schwartz of Zagreb invented an airship but he was to die before he could patent it. His designs were procured by Graf von Zeppelin, who used them to construct his famous zeppelins. Slavoljub
Croatia, a world that is a meeting place of worlds, welcomes all goodhearted people with open arms.
So the story continues, but we have to draw a line somewhere. Let the final lines be dedicated to those who are consulting their calendars with a degree of impatience, longing for vacation time to arrive as soon as possible. When they arrive in Croatia, they will find themselves in a land where the first European calendar was discovered. It was drawn on a ceramic vessel found in the locality of VuÄ?edol, near Vukovar, dating from 3000-2400 BC, the period when Mesopotamia began to use cuneiform writing and when hieroglyphs first appeared in Egypt.
11
Penkala, also of Zagreb, bequeathed to the world his technical pencil, fountain pen, detergent, and almost 80 other patented inventions. In the same century, Giovanni Luppis of Rijeka invented the torpedo and the first torpedo factory in the world was built in his hometown.
GASTRONOMIC OFFER Croatia is a land where a traditional approach to food is nurtured and cherished, which means that it respects the authenticity of its own cuisine. Or, to be more precise, its cuisines, since throughout its history, it has been a vibrant meeting point of different cultures and consequently of different gastronomic customs.
In the continental part of the country, those favouring delicacies of a more substantial nature will be truly satisfied by Slavonian kulen, Zagorje roast turkey with mlinci, the fish paprikash of Baranja, Lika style baked potato halves, Gorski kotar style tripe and a wide variety of game dishes. Mediterranean Croatia is a realm of light cuisine based on olive oil, scampi from Kvarner, oysters from Ston, Dalmatian fish, shellfish and crabs, frog legs and truffles, the sweetbreads of Komiža and Vis, spiced with lamb from Cres and Pag, prosciutto of Drniš... The oenological tradition of Croatia is best illustrated by the old cellars of Ilok, where the first wine in Europe was
bottled. All a guest has to do is to discover the magic of wines like Traminac, Riesling, Graševina and Burgundy. If coast bound, there are other equally delightful wines: Dingač, Postup, Teran, Malmsey, Vugava... Those with a sweet tooth will not feel shortchanged; the choice is quite literally mind boggling - from Međimurje nine-layer pie, walnut roll and Zagorje štrukli (cheesefilled dough, boiled or baked) in the continental parts of the country, to the gateaux of Rab, baškotin in Pag, Frankopan gateau in the littoral and Dalmatian rožata – or as some would say, crème caramel.
Connoisseurs of good food and wine will feel at home wherever they may
13
be in Croatia.
ACTIVE HOLIDAYS The geographical variety found in Croatia offers excellent starting points for an equally wide variety of attractions for an active stay. There are practically no programme or time limitations, except, of course, for those set by the guests themselves.
The Mediterranean part of the country, where one can engage in attractive water sports and other forms of recreation linked to the sea, is the right place for those whose adrenalin flows faster when mention is made of sailing, diving, swimming, surfing, water skiing, big game fishing and similar activities. If water is not your thing, only a few steps from the coast you can explore cycling and hiking routes, or go mountaineering, mountain biking, rafting down the karstic and mountain rivers, canoeing, kayaking, paragliding, caving and more! Croatia’s hunting grounds have long been well known beyond her borders, whether they are situated in the plains, the mountains or on the islands. All those who love to hunt deer, pheasant, wild boar, moufflon, bear, wild goose or duck can find many opportunities to demonstrate their skills.
Winter tourism in Croatia is also slowly, but surely, gathering pace. The ski slope on the Medvednica Mountain rising above Zagreb, popularly known as Sljeme, has been brought up to world standards, while all the best known ski resorts in the country are located not far from the sea. Tennis tournaments, excursions into nature, river and lake fishing, underwater fishing, riding, photo safaris in any one of the nature parks or national parks, are all events that leave lasting memories.
In Croatia, sport and recreation are vital ingredients of good health and individual
15
wellbeing.
ISTRIA Many years ago a delighted traveller described Istria as a fairyland. He could not imagine that his impression of the largest peninsula in the Adriatic would remain its most accurate description to this day. Indeed, whichever direction you take, Istria will reveal itself as a land of fairytale magic, a magic that could have been created in no other way but during those moments when mischievous fairies desired nothing more than to outdo one another in the weaving of spells.
It was they who left the traces of dinosaur footprints in the stones of the Savudrija coast, as though they wanted to present us with a tantalising pointer to an Age far beyond the compass of humankind’s collective unconscious. Rising on sheltered elevations are circular hill forts built by the Illyrian tribe of the Histri, whose name lives on thousands of years later in the name of the peninsula. The conquering Romans chose not to change the name either. They preferred to enjoy themselves in their holiday villas, savouring scampi and the intoxicating gifts yielded by the vineyards, or to spend time in Pula’s amphitheatre, where the battle-hardened hearts of centurions found satisfaction watching gladiatorial contests. What could the bishops from the early Christian Basilica of St. Euphrasius do about it? Nothing at all. Just like the sailors who, centuries later, set sail from Pula, the Austro-Hungarian main naval port, to engage in new battles for supremacy. Spreading between the Mediterranean beaches and the Učka mountain, standing like a massive, brooding sentinel above the peninsula, is the Istrian interior. There, perched on the peaks of the hilly landscape are tiny medieval towns – a fairytale within the wider Istrian fairytale. In one such town, Motovun - possibly the most beautiful of all - there resides a giant they call Veli Jože. If there is anybody who has not yet seen him, it is only because they have not visited the Motovun Woods, where the giant searches for truffles. While on the subject of truffles, it was here, close to the village of Livade, that the world’s largest truffle was found in 2000, weighing 1.3 kg. Another of the
towns, Hum, is the smallest in the world. Grožnjan is an oasis for artists, while in Pazin, nestling beneath a castle, is a massive cave from which somebody whispered to Jules Verne, suggesting that he start his journey to the centre of the Earth from there. The peninsula’s meadowlands are ideal pastures for the native species of Istrian cattle known as boškarin. Folklore is characterized by the extraordinary tones of the Istrian scale. Tiny medieval churches still preserve the secret of the old Glagolitic script. In Barban, lancers compete in a race for rings (trka na prstenac), fortifying their spirits with Istrian prosciutto and Malmsey. Those of different tastes may opt for oysters from the Lim Channel, or for Istrian supa (a bracing combination of red wine, olive oil, pepper, sugar and warm slices of fried bread) and fuži sa žgvacetom (home-made pasta with meat sautéed in piquant sauce, served in the local pubs) accompanied by Teran and Prosecco from the wine cellar. All that would go down very nicely after a journey of discovery along one of the cycling routes, or following an excursion to the Brijuni National Park.
Istria is a true
exists in reality.

Savudrija is the most western point of the Mediterranean part of Croatia, near the town of Umag. Savudrija has been inhabited for 11 thousand years ago and there are many archeological sites from the time of ancient Rome. Touristically, it was discovered in the Austro-Hungarian era; many villas and summer residences of the then aristocracy are testament to it. As a special tourist attraction, there is a lighthouse dating from 1818.

Pula is a city whose roots stretch back over three thousand years, to the prehistoric settlement of the Histri tribe. The turning point came with the arrival of the Romans, of which we are reminded by the large amphitheatre, Golden Gate, Temple of Augustus, Roman Theatre and other buildings. An important page in the history of Pula was turned during the Austra-Hungarian Empire, when the city grew into the major naval base of the Monarchy.

KVARNER Those who cannot make up their minds whether to seek relaxation on the warm pebbles of a beach, or in the cool mountain peaks; whether to stay in an aristocratic villa or in a rural atmosphere; whether to abandon themselves to the adrenalin-charged ferment of Mediterranean passion, or to the healing influence of the silent ambience of a forest – for those, Kvarner is the ideal destination. Kvarner is all of that rolled into one. Kvarner makes everything possible, combining three quite specific wonders: the wonders of the coast, the islands and the mountains.
The coast consists of a string of beautiful rivieras: Opatija, Crikvenica, Novi Vinodolski and the area of Rijeka. Following one after another are locations originally designed for the pleasure of their aristocratic guests, while reflecting the way of life of the common folk. The faces of the former are dominated by elegant villas and parks that bring a breath of Mitteleuropa to the Mediterranean in Opatija - the birthplace of Croatian tourism, followed closely by Lovran, Crikvenica and Mali Lošinj. Destinations such as Volosko, Mošćenice, Mošćenička Draga, Kastav, Brseč and Jadranovo show that it is also possible for life to develop around old fishing villages. For sailors, the islands, those “blue gates to the Adriatic”, are little worlds in themselves. On the islands of Cres and Lošinj, the village of Lubenice is breathtaking; Osor takes us back to the times of antiquity; Lošinj is the home of old and seasoned sailors; Valun a hidden fishing oasis. The island of Krk fascinates with its rich history, telling us stories of the feudal lords
of Frankopan and of Glagolitic traditions. It was there that the Baška Tablet dating from 1100, the “Baptismal Certificate of the Croats”, was discovered. The Romans described Rab as a happy island, and today its visitors do the same. Nature has bestowed stone, sea and sheep to Pag and the human hand has provided it with cheese, lamb and lace. The mountainous region of Gorski Kotar is ruled by silence and clean, unpolluted air, inviting us to visit the source of the River Kupa, or to kayak down the Kupa and Dobra. It draws us to the mountain peaks, from where the view extends all the way to the sea and the Alps, or to attempt to unravel the underground secrets of caves like Lokvarka, Vrela and others. It offers us all the excitement inherent in the nature parks of Bijele and Samarske Stijene (cliffs), Vražji Prolaz (Devil’s passage) and the Risnjak National Park.
In short, Kvarner is a tempting seductress offering a blend of impossible to imagine.

Hotel ARBIANA
The City of Rab dates back to the Roman Empire, but due to the abundance of Romanesque monuments, today it is considered primarily a Romanesque city. This is testified by the four impressive bell towers along the Gornja Street, the oldest one dating from the 12th century. Rab was also the first home of St Marinus, a Rab native who travelled the seas and founded the Republic of San Marino in 1301. With its view of the historical parks and delightful surroundings, Rab is impossible to resist.

Dalmatia ZADAR Arriving in Zadar by boat, we head directly for an encounter with George Bernard Shaw. No, he did not settle in this part of the Mediterranean, although by all accounts he undoubtedly would have liked to. The famous writer once wrote: “God wished to round off His work. And so, on the final day, from tears, stars and the breath of the sea, He created the Kornati.” Needless to say, one does not have to be a G.B.S. for this archipelago to make such an impact upon the soul.
The Kornati archipelago, the most numerous (140) group of islands, isles and reefs in the Mediterranean, enchants with a beauty that can be compared only to lacework in stone strewn across the gently undulating blue surface of the water. Today, the Kornati archipelago is a national park, an azure nautical forecourt to the Zadar mainland. Zadar, a town of ancient roots, is some 3,000 years old – which in itself has the status of a cultural event. Roman remains are complemented by numerous examples of sacred architecture: the 9th century church of St. Donatus, the Cathedral of St. Anastasia (which was built on the foundations of an Early Christian basilica), the Church of St. Mary (the guardian of the cultural heritage known as the “Gold and Silver of Zadar and Nin”), the Church of St. Francis (the oldest Gothic monument in Dalmatia) and the Church of St. Simon (which shelters a casket containing the saint’s silver sarcophagus, weighing 250 kg). Comparable to Zadar and its historical patina, is the nearby town of Nin. In the days of Antiquity, Nin was the centre of the Illyrian Liburni, after which it became the seat of Croatian bishops and the residence of Croatian monarchs. It is from those times that the stone baptismal font with an inscription mentioning Prince Višeslav dates. Knin, located in the Zadar hinterland, and dominated by the largest fortress in Dalmatia, was also once the seat of Croatia’s nobility.
The surrounding area is just as impressive for its beautiful landscapes. The Plitvice Lakes National Park is a spellbinding experience, a dreamland for an active holiday and for treks through deep passes and ravines, for mountaineering and freestyle climbing on Anića kuk – the most popular climbing destination in Croatia. Why not follow this up with rafting, kayaking through a canyon and canoeing on the rivers Zrmanja and Krupa or take a tour of Lake Vrana – a protected realm for rare birds. Those who decide to go down to the sea again will not be making a mistake either. The southern part of the island of Pag is a delicacy for all the senses – with all the flavours of local cuisine, the fragrance of sage and the vistas of the medieval town of Pag. The islands of Ugljan, Pašman, Silba, Olib, Iž, Premuda, Molat and Dugi Otok are ideal for Mediterranean-style relaxation. There, visitors may choose from the submarine world and sheltered coves, olive groves, cellars, fishing fiestas, donkeys, lavender, cycling routes...
Zadar has all the allure of a siren – its call is irresistible and holds open the promise of 63

Dalmatia ŠIBENIK How can one resist the attractive power of this region, in whose centre lies the architectural wealth that prompted UNESCO to state: “Yes, this is truly a treasure which must appear on the World Heritage List”, and within which two national parks compete for the accolade of most beautiful? The answer is quite simple: one should not even try, for it would be a wasted effort.
If the Master builders Juraj Dalmatinac (also known as Georgius Dalmaticus) and Nikola Firentinac (who came from Florence) were still alive, they would undoubtedly be able to reveal the secret of their masterpiece in the medieval heart of Šibenik ‒ the secret of the Cathedral of St. James. This magnum opus has been delighting passers-by ever since it was built in the 15th and 16th centuries, jealously protecting the riddle of the stone slab construction of its arched roof and preserving the artistic enigmas of its Gothic Baptistery and the series of Renaissance portrait heads on the Cathedral’s external frieze. This architectural wealth is watched over by the fortresses of St. Michael, St. John and Šubićevac, from which the defenders of long ago kept guard over the city and the mouth of the River Krka. The sea in front of Šibenik was protected by the fortress of St. Nicholas. Those who are heading inland, into the area of Prukljansko jezero (Prukljan Lake) and onward through the deep river canyon, have already embarked upon an exciting adventure known as the Krka National Park. The park is reached by following one of the most wondrous rivers of the Croatian krš, or karst. Rushing on its journey towards the sea, the River Krka forms numerous lakes, waterfalls and rapids, which once witnessed, remain in one’s memory forever. How else could it be, bearing in mind the splendour of the Roški Slap and Skradinski Buk waterfalls, and the islet of Visovac on which a tranquil Franciscan monastery has for centuries served to link man, water and sky in harmonious peace? And if one also decides to
visit the Ivan Meštrović mausoleum in Otavice, and then seeks out local dishes prepared under a peka (domed ceramic or iron cover placed over food laid on a stone slab, and covered with live coals), well...
A first encounter with the Šibenik region makes one sigh with regret for not having visited earlier.
77
Awaiting guests returning to the sea are locations such as Vodice, Rogoznica, Primošten, Pirovac, Tisno, Murter, Betina, Tribunj, Jezera and other coastal and island towns and villages, as well as more than 350 isles and reefs. Waiting with their pebble beaches, pine woods, ancient vineyards and olive groves, with their klapas (singing groups), fishermen’s fiestas and donkey races, Babić – a delectable red wine, the coral hunters of Zlarin, the sponge hunters of Krapanj... And what about Kornati? This national park comprises the most numerous and the most richly indented archipelago of the Mediterranean and is an encounter with a fascinating game played by the sea and stone. Were there any rules for the vivacity of the natural elements? If there were, the Creator did not devise them in order to impose any restrictions - and He was right, again.

Dalmatia SPLIT Having been an advocate all his life of the maxim that “all roads lead to Rome”, Emperor Diocletian came to realize that this need not be the only essential truth. In an important moment of his life, all his personal roads were to lead to what, in the distant future, was to become the city of Split. In the 3rd century AD, the emperor decided to retire from the world of politics and to spend the remaining years of his life in a cove close to the Illyrian/Greek settlement of Asphalatos. “Oh, yes; this is where I am going to build myself a palace,” he is said to have murmured into his beard before giving the appropriate commands.
Emperor Diocletian could never have dreamed that his actions would become the kernel of a future town. Initially, it grew within the boundaries of the Palace where its latter-day inhabitants had no compunction in adding to what they had inherited (one example being the Cathedral of St. Domnius), thus creating an amazing architectural amalgam. Together with Diocletian’s Palace and nearby Roman Salona, present-day Split combines the tranquillity of antiquity and the energetic, sometimes frenetic, rhythm of the 21st century. It could be that very rhythm which, according to its temperamental inhabitants, makes Split “the most sports-conscious town in the world”. The historical heart of the city has its place on the UNESCO World Heritage List, as does the centre of the nearby Trogir Riviera. Trogir’s ancient roots were built on throughout later periods, the result being its medieval heart, where Gothic and Renaissance-style buildings are crowned by an even more precious jewel: the 13th century Cathedral of St. Lawrence. This magnificent Cathedral's portal bears the signature of Master Carver Radovan. The Kaštela Riviera comprises a picturesque string of villages that grew around seven coastal fortifications, supported from the hinterland by the old town of Klis and its formidable fortress. Dalmatinska zagora, the region extending beyond the mountains of the littoral, with the Imotski Lakes, the craggy landscape of the Biokovo Nature Park and the mellow valley of the River Cetina are all a feast for the eye and a blessing for all lovers of active
holidaying: riding, rafting, canyoning and mountaineering. The Omiš Riviera is a wonderful landscape where the mountains, sea and river come together. The Makarska Riviera comprises a number of smaller sites strung along the coast at the foot of the Biokovo Mountain. Shaded by pines and cypresses, there is a 60 km-long stretch of pebble beaches along this Riviera.
The name of Split is also translated in the following ways: a princely holiday, Mediterranean passion, Dionysian relaxation.

The island of Brač is the largest of all the Dalmatian islands. Anyone who has walked the Zlatni rat beach does not need to be told that it is one of the most beautiful beaches on the Mediterranean. Having soaked up as much rest as necessary, one can then enjoy the Bol Tennis Tournament. The island of Vis is an oasis of virgin nature, with phenomena like the Blue, Green and Bear’s caves awaiting. Here, grapevines and tropical fruit have been growing since Antiquity. The island of Hvar is truly Dionysian; bathed in sunshine, submerged in a fragrance of lavender and with its oh, so very good wines! And all of this spiced by the Days of Hvar Theatre, the Omiš Festival of Dalmatian Klapas, the Sinjska Alka and the Days of Marulo (celebrating Marko Marulić, the 15/16th century writer from Split).

Trogir is a city whose prosperity has endured for 2,300 years. The ancient Greek deity, Kairos - god of the happy moment whose relief was discovered here by archaeologists, could never have imagined that it would last so long. And, happily, no end to this is in sight. The story of a city that captivates with its beauty began in the times of ancient Tragos and has continued through Roman Tragurium and right up to the Trogir of our days. It does not take much to convince anyone of this: we only have to cast an eye over the portal carved by Master Radovan, the Kamerlengo Fortress, or the medieval city gates.

Hotel Pašike is a new building with all modern facilities, but it was built in older times. It opened in 2004 after the renovation of the old house of the Buble family. The interiors of the rooms are decorated with furniture from the 19th and early 20th centuries and such decor could not have been any different given the hotel’s location in the very centre of Trogir. It is located just a step away from the riva, in the area of Pašike, where the same stone houses that we see today have been built since the 15th century. In the centre of the area, next to the park, is the Pašike tavern, with domestic specialties, authentic cuisine and fine wines. Just as in a real Dalmatian tavern, there is also the music of klapas (Dalmatian folk singing groups).

Split is a city which enchants with its relaxed rhythm of life combined with its lively Mediterranean temperament. An unusual combination it may be, but visitors take to it very quickly. It is easy to feel at home here, particularly since the squares, restaurants and coffee shops teeming with people make every day seem like a holiday. This feeling is further strengthened if one looks at the waterfront promenade which, in the summer, is blessed by the refreshing maestral (landward breeze) while in the winter it is shielded from cold winds by Diocletian’s Palace and warmed by the Mediterranean sun.

Omiš has chosen a marvellous place for itself. It is situated where impressive mountains and the azure sea meet, where the swift-flowing Cetina River empties into the relaxed Adriatic, and at the point where the continental aromas carried by Cetina and the healing spray from the sea combine. It is this mixture of sea and river, blue and green, wild and tame that makes Omiš a town which draws our attention right from the beginning. Guests who have experienced this special quality, which grew out of a mixture of that which is seemingly impossible to combine, always come back to Omiš.

Dalmatia DUBROVNIK When he wrote that the second most beautiful place in the world was Dubrovnik, the first being that in which we were born, the poet could never have imagined the number of people who would agree with him. Indeed, Dubrovnik still enchants as much as it did Cvijeta Zuzorić with its elegant Renaissance beauty. And for her, verses were written; for her, they sailed the seas...
The face of Dubrovnik is caressed by the sun for 2554 hours a year, a fact that few places in Europe equal. This is the face of a monument-town, one of those favoured with a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Why it figures on that list is a question that only those who have never visited the city would ask. The redoubtable defensive walls of the one-time city-state were witnesses to the mighty merchant fleet with which Dubrovnik competed with Venice. At its peak in the 15th and 16th centuries, the Republic of Dubrovnik became a treasury of architectural, diplomatic, scientific, literary and many other skills. Strolling on the stones of the central street – Stradun – visitors will walk where the physicist Ruđer Bošković, playwright Marin Držić, poet Ivan Gundulić and physicist Martin Getaldić once walked. After just a few paces, visitors will arrive at the Onofrio Fountain and Orlando’s Column, the bell tower with its famous clock figures, popularly known as zelenci (the green ones), the Dominican monastery, the Rector’s Palace and the fortresses of Lovrjenac, Bokar, Revelin and Minčeta.
Coming face to face with Dubrovnik is like an encounter with a beautiful woman: the eye appreciates her attributes at first glance.
133
Dubrovnik is set amidst Mediterranean surroundings of unrivalled beauty ‒ and not only the city. With its indigenous rural atmosphere, the area of Konavle seems to be a complete contrast to Dubrovnik, but it is actually a continuation – a fact particularly visible in its ethnographic heritage. Župa Dubrovačka enchants with its beaches. The wide delta of the River Neretva is home to rich ornithological and ichthyological reserves. Located on the Pelješac peninsula are the small towns of Ston and Mali Ston, where extensive walls still protect the oldest salt works in Europe, dating from 4000 years ago. The bay of Mali Ston is a paradise for connoisseurs of shellfish and other sea food. It is no different on the slopes of Dingač and Postup, where fantastic wines of the same names are produced. The island of Korčula delights visitors with its ancient Moreška sword dance and its tribute to Korčulaborn Marco Polo. The island of Mljet is a national park, while the island of Lastovo and the Elafiti Islands are nearby. And everywhere, but everywhere, are small, sheltered, enchanting beaches.

Approaching Korčula from the sea, the city gives the impression of a fortification. Yet through its streets and squares, it changes and becomes an open air museum.

Hotel Major has five comfortable and beautifully furbished apartments. The hotel’s enigmatic name heeds from the story of a past village chief, Mr. Kostopeč, whom villagers called Major. The apartments also have a local air; their names - Kate, Stane, Jelica, Ivana and Maja are women’s names from the Konavlje region. The hotel has four Junior apartments, with living room, bedroom, bathroom and terrace and one Superior apartment, with two bedrooms, living room, bathroom and spacious terrace. Along with the relaxed family atmosphere and friendly environment, the hotel wins over guests with its eponymous restaurant, which serves local delicacies.
LIKA KARLOVAC Those who visit the Lika-Karlovac region once will assure themselves of a theory according to which a part of this area was named after the Celtic word likis - which means “beautiful land”. We hasten to add that the label “beautiful land” is by no means restricted to this particular part of the region, but can justifiably be applied to the entire area.
Although Lika is hidden from the sea by Velebit, the largest of the Croatian mountains, there is no reason why it should remain hidden from the eyes of today's visitors to Croatia, particularly if one bears in mind that it is indeed virgin nature. The valley of the Gacka river is an area with a fairytale atmosphere, crystal clear waters, ancient mills and an abundance of very special trout. Lika has two national parks. The first is the Plitvice Lakes with 16 cascading waterfalls which have been included in the UNESCO List of World Natural Heritage, and the second is Northern Velebit, with its wealth of protected and endemic biological species and breathtaking views of the Adriatic, including the island of Pag. Lika is the area of wholesome food, strong people, of a well preserved, traditional way of life and real, age-old values. One of the crown jewels of the area is the medieval Nehaj fortress, the symbol of both the town of Senj, which grew on the coast of the Adriatic, and the entire Croatian struggle for freedom on land and sea. The northern part of the island of Pag attracts and holds one's interest with its specific landscape which can be perceived as the return to the fundamental elements of nature - the sea, stone and sun. Many remember it for its beach in Novalja and for the delicacies of its cuisine - Pag cheese and lamb.
The landscapes of the Karlovac area are characterised mainly by their transitional nature between the low-lying parts of Croatia and its mountainous area. The town of Karlovac was born out of a star-shaped Renaissance fortress and is today full of parks and promenades and avenues with centuries-old chestnut trees. In the environs of the town, people seek rest and recreation on the banks of the four rivers - Korana, Kupa, Dobra and Mrežnica - and that translates into swimming, rowing, angling, canoeing and kayaking. Others enjoy the blessings offered by the combination of the rural landscape and rich cultural heritage.
To put it in a nutshell, the Lika-Karlovac region is the living proof that sometimes fairytales should be sought in real life.
147
This attractive heritage is summed up by the town of Ogulin. The costumed manifestation known as Withces of Klek tells us of the values of the local popular tradition, while the Ogulin Festival of Fairytales celebrates the work of Ivana Brlić Mažuranić, described as the Croatian Andersen, as well as legends and fairytales of the wider area.

ZAGREB He who described Zagreb as the ideal town of the 19th century had no intention of passing over Zagreb’s intriguing past, nor all the good things that happened to Zagreb, or that which began to adorn it in the following century. He simply wished to remind us of the city’s impressive individuality, and of its present-day attractions.
Needless to say, Zagreb did exist before the 19th century. Its beginnings can be discerned in two small medieval towns: secular Gradec, populated by tradesmen and artisans, and the bishop’s town of Kaptol. Today, people walking through the city’s streets know them as the Upper Town - where familiar sites are the Lotršćak Tower, St. Mark’s Church and the Croatian Sabor (parliament) building - and Kaptol, dominated by Zagreb’s neo-Gothic Cathedral which, in the 13th century, was the easternmost edifice of its kind in Europe. In the 19th century, in the area beneath them, the new town - or Downtown - was built according to a quite specific plan. At a time when people were attempting to unravel the tangled knot of traffic, industry and the accompanying pollution of residential areas, Zagreb managed to achieve a well balanced ratio of architectural structures and green areas. Residential blocks and the street grid are framed by a string of parks, making up two so-called “green horse-shoes”, quite unique in the world. Integrated into that green, horse-shoe landscape are the Croatian National Theatre, the Art Pavilion, the Croatian Academy of Arts and Sciences, the University Library and other buildings of social and architectural significance. Crowning them all from the hilly elevation above the city is Mirogoj, the city cemetery,
with its Renaissance-style arcade surmounted by bronze cupolas and a wealth of greenery to match any English park. In the 20th century the city expanded, crossing the River Sava. A new Zagreb grew there. Despite that, or perhaps specifically because of it, the city continued to breathe an urban atmosphere, and it continues to do so today. Numerous theatres, museums, galleries, concert halls, exhibition premises, sports and recreational grounds, restaurants, wine boutiques and beer halls offer almost countless reasons for a visit. Perhaps with the intention of learning more about the rich historical, artistic, ethnographic or gastronomic heritage of Croatia. Perhaps simply to see and to be seen, or merely aiming to have a good time... When you are in the right place at the right time, any reason can be the right one.
Today, Zagreb is the cultural, political, economic and communication centre of the Republic of Croatia.

CENTRAL CROATIA Central Croatia may indeed be a typical continental area, but its beauty is in many ways anything but typical. A look at the mellow, undulating landscapes, flower-covered meadows and silent, meandering rivers will inspire the guest to seek an escape from the aggressive “blessings” of technical civilizations, here amidst the preserved countryside. All who decide to go looking for such an experience in central Croatia will have done the right thing.
Needless to say, they will be just as right if they come looking for her other face. Among the best examples of that is the landscape which opens up before our eyes if we happen to find ourselves in Hrvatsko Zagorje. The medieval and Renaissance fortifications, Baroque castles and manor houses are not just a source of countless legends and folk stories. The mysteries of their history blend with their visual attraction, though for the most part that attraction is quite current since a large number of those sites have only recently been renovated and opened to guests. Veliki Tabor, the magnificent 16th century Renaissance fortress-cum-castle, seems to be still alive with the clash of swords wielded by armoured knights on horseback. Although the enchantingly romantic atmosphere of Trakošćan castle which rises on a small hill above a lake located in a park, sets it apart from all others, there are others just as attractive in their own ways - the Renaissance fortress of Varaždin, the castles of Picok in Đurđevac, Oršić in Stubica, Zajezda near Zlatar, Maruševec, Miljana and Bistra... The spirit of times gone by can also be felt in the Old Town of Čakovec, in the Baroque Old Burg of Varaždin and in Sisak, where roots reach all the way back to the Roman period. The preserved fortress of Sisak reminds today's visitors of the times when it stood as a defence to the Turkish onslaught against Western Europe. On a different note, those fond of active holidays will find that the entire area offers countless and varied opportunities.
If, having walked through the burgs and fortifications, or followed the trail of historical battles, some begin to wonder about their own health, there is no need to worry: the numerous spas in the area cater for such needs. Tuheljske Toplice, Sveti Martin, Stubičke Toplice, Krapinske Toplice and Varaždinske Toplice indicate by their very names a long standing tradition in health tourism and it is a known fact that such a tradition is built on things that are good. Whoever said that good health is inevitably accompanied by interest in natural and cultural treasures was telling the truth. In Central Croatia, such attractions are not in short supply. That this is indeed so is born out by, among other places, the Lonja Range Nature Park, the Kumrovec ethno-village, numerous castles and manor houses, nature parks and the phenomenon known as the naïve art of Podravina, which was made famous throughout the world by authors such as Krsto Hegedušić, Ivan Generalić, Ivan Rabuzin and Ivan Lacković Croata.
Coming to Central Croatia gives visitors the opportunity to reinvent their romantic soul.

SLAVONIA It is possibly because of its position between the rivers Sava, Drava and Danube that the lowlands of Slavonia are so versed in savouring a variety of the pleasures of life. This can be discerned in the very first encounter. Setting off down the road towards any of the Slavonian towns, one is greeted by golden fields of sunflowers, a swaying sea of wheat and expanses of promising vineyards - all of them waving and saying: Slavonia is a land of plenty.
There are countless ways for guests to find this out for themeselves. Should they be in Đakovo during the Đakovački Vezovi (the Embroideries of Đakovo - a festivity celebrating the wealth of folklore heritage), or in Vinkovci when Vinkovačke Jeseni (The Autumns of Vinkovci - another folklore festivity) take over the town, it will take but one look at the folk costumes of our womenfolk - adorned with ducats, elaborate embroidery, lace, tassles and colourful handkerchiefs, to realise that here the way of plenty is a way of living and thinking. The Lipizzaner stud-farm of Đakovo, which has attracted visitors like Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and Princess Margaret, bears witness to that in its own way. This fine horse has been bred here since 1806. A rich table, characteristic for this area - whichever part of it you may find yourself in - is laden with the famous Slavonian kulen, ham, spiced sausages, smoked bacon, delectable meat and freshwater fish dishes. From the wine cellars of Kutjevo, Đakovo and Ilok, the best of wines come to this table - Riesling, Graševina, Burgundy and Traminac. The old cellars of Ilok were the first in Europe to bottle wine into glass bottles. For those who prefer bringing food to the table themselves, there are the slopes of Bilogora and Papuk, with hunting grounds replete with both small and large game. Likewise, on the rivers and backwaters of Slavonia, fishing, or rather trying to outsmart carp and catfish and make sure they find their way into a pot, is the order of the day... and when that happens, then to the sound of tambouritzas one can... ah well, we leave that to your imagination.
The Kopački Rit Nature Park offers quite a different kind of enjoyment. Stretching alongside the Danube delta is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, particularly of water fowl.All of this breathtaking variety of wings offers itself to our cameras. Not to say anything about a walk through the centuries old forests of oak which in itself is an exceptional sensation. Then there is Baranja, the region where grape has been cultivated since the times of Antiquity, where guests are met with doors to the wine cellars wide open, and offered experiences that only rural tourism makes possible.
In Slavonia, people love life and do their best to enjoy it to the fullest, a way of life that can be felt every step of the way.

The urban Slavonia takes us to Osijek, its largest town, which captivates not only with its Tvrđa (a system of fortifications) and its main Baroque square, but also with architecture from the Secession period which many visitors find rather impressive. In Našice is the palace of the noble family of Pejačević, and in Vukovar there is the Eltz palace - another Baroque gem of this area, as are the palaces in the centre of Požega. In the Vukovar-Srijem County, Ilok - the easternmost town of Croatia, boasts one of the mightiest fortifications on the Danube, while Slavonski Brod is the site of the largest fortress of the Baroque period in Europe, rising where once was the border between Christian Europe and the Turkish Empire. The dominant feature of Đakovo and its wider area is a striking neo-Romanesque cathedral.

Slavonia Donji Miholjac
Donji Miholjac was erected on a historically exciting location, as a border town on the River Drava. A neo-Gothic castle serves as a reminder of those times, comprising a park that has been proclaimed a horticultural monument. Another park, the lower Donji Miholjac Grand Park, part of the Prandau Mailath castle complex, is also protected on account of its abundance of rare plants.While you walk through these parks, as well as the Park of the Matrix Croatica or the Park of St Florian, you have the sweet choice of whether your next activity will be hunting or fishing.
