GENERALINFORMATION

Welcome to Croatia!

Unique in so many ways, Croatia has roots extend-ing from ancient times and a great cultural wealth telling of its turbulent history from the Roman era, the Renaissance, the Baroque (period) and the Ot-toman conquests right up to the present day which are exceptionally alluring to all those who visit the country. If we then add to this rich cultural herit-age the amazing natural beauty which attracts vis-itors at all seasons of the year, the 8 national parks, 11 nature reserves and the numerous heritage sites under UNESCO's protection, Croatia truly is a coun-try of incredible magnetic attraction.

Yes, Croatia is all that and so much more. It is the home of the necktie, the parachute, the torpedo, the propelling pencil, the filament light bulb, the world's fastest electric car, the Dalmatian dog, Marco Polo, one of the oldest cities and parlia-ments in Europe, the second longest stretch of de-fensive walls in Europe, the smallest cathedral, the oldest arboretum and the oldest film festival in the world and the birthplace of great athletes.

And last but by no means less significant than all the aforementioned – the Croats themselves! The Croa-tian people and their kindness are a magnet which keep drawing tourists back. Sometimes the hospi-tality of the locals will make you wonder whether you are in your own home or simply – on holiday in Croatia!

Travel documents

A valid passport or some other form of identifica-tion 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 of-fices 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: [email protected],

[email protected], [email protected],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 im-port duties, without any limits or relation to its value, provided that the traveller can prove that all the lug-gage was declared at the time of departure to the per-son 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 pas-sengers and members of their family, is exempt from import duties if its total value does not exceed the equivalent value of 2,200.00 kuna; or for air and sea transport the value of 3,200.00 kuna. Exemption ap-plies to each passenger individually, and can be ap-plied 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 Ser-vice 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.mExamples of personal items are: video cameras, portable TV sets and audio de-vices, cameras, laptops, PCs, camping, sailing, scuba diving, skiing, skating and hiking equipment, cara-vans, 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 for-malities 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 im-porting personal shipments and products of animal origin in personal luggage, please contact the Min-istry of Agriculture – Administration for Veterinary Medicine and Food Safety (Tel: + 385 1 6443 540), www.mps.hr.

This is an important and necessary procedure, par-ticularly if you are staying in private accommoda-tion, in order to guarantee the quality of service and your personal safety as well as to prevent the illegal provision of accommodation by those who are not registered with the appropriate authorities.

We thank you in advance for your co-operation and wish you a pleasant stay.

ABOUT THE

ASSOCIATION

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.

Dear Guests,

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 Ro-man Empires. Then the Franks arrived, followed by the Byzan-tines. 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 re-mained, 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 geo-graphical characteristics. Within its small area, Croatia encom-passes the sunny Mediterranean, pre-Alpine mountains and

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.

ABOUT CROATIA

the Pannonian Plains and that is by no means all. Hidden with-

in 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 herit-

age which comprises eight distinct national parks: the Plitvice

Lakes (designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO), Krka,

Kornati, Brijuni, Mljet, Northern Velebit, Paklenica and Risn-

jak. There are also the Nature Parks of Kopački Rit (wetlands),

Medvednica Mountain, Lonjsko Polje, Mount Velebit, the Biok-

ovo 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.

The powerful, creative impulse issuing from the diversified in-

terweave 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 Euphra-

sian Basilica in Poreč and the Stari Grad plain on Hvar.

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 north-

ern Croatia, and Hvar and Pag, on the islands of the same name;

the annual Carnival bell ringers' pageant from the area of Kastav

Page 12: Small and Family - run Hotels

in 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' tour-

nament 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 In-

tangible 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 West-

ern world. In the 16th century, Faust Vrančić of Šibenik in-

vented 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 stu-

dent, painted the image of his teacher together with Michel-

angelo, 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 elec-

trical 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 sto-

ries at the beginning of the 20th century, has with good rea-

son 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

13Graf von Zeppelin, who used them to construct his famous zeppelins. Slavoljub 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.

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 cal-endar was discovered. It was drawn on a ceramic vessel found in the locality of Vučedol, near Vukovar, dating from 3000-2400 BC, the period when Mesopotamia began to use cuneiform writing and when hieroglyphs first appeared in Egypt.

Croatia, a world

that is a meeting

place of worlds,

welcomes all good-

hearted people

with open arms.

Page 14: Small and Family - run Hotels

GASTRONOMIC OFFER

In the continental part of the country, those favouring deli-

cacies of a more substantial nature will be truly satisfied by

Slavonian kulen, Zagorje roast turkey with mlinci, the fish pa-

prikash 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, pros-

ciutto of Drniš...

The oenological tradition of Croatia is best illustrated by the

old cellars of Ilok, where the first wine in Europe was bottled.

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.

Page 15: Small and Family - run Hotels

Connoisseurs of

good food and wine

will feel at home

wherever they may

be in Croatia.

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 (cheese-filled dough, boi-

led or baked) in the continental parts of the country, to the ga-

teaux of Rab, baškotin in Pag, Frankopan gateau in the littoral

and Dalmatian rožata – or as some would say, crème caramel.

Page 16: Small and Family - run Hotels

ACTIVE HOLIDAYS

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.

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.

Page 17: Small and Family - run Hotels

17

In Croatia,

sport and recreation

are vital ingredients

of good health

and individual

wellbeing.

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.

ISTRIA

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 intoxicat-ing 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 - pos-sibly 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 larg-est truffle was found in 2000, weighing 1.3 kg. Another of the

Many years ago a

delighted traveller

described Istria as a

fairyland. He could not

imagine that his impres-

sion of the largest pe-

ninsula in the Adriatic

would remain its most

accurate description to

this day. Indeed, which-

ever 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.

towns, Hum, is the smallest in the world. Grožnjan is an oasis for artists, while in Pazin, nestling beneath a castle, is a mas-sive cave from which somebody whispered to Jules Verne, sug-gesting 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 Ter-an 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

fairyland which

exists in reality.

1Savudrija is the most western point of the Mediterranean part

of Croatia, near the town of Umag. Savudrija has been inhabit-

The coast consists of a string of beautiful rivieras: Opatija,

Crikvenica, Novi Vinodolski and the area of Rijeka. Follow-

ing 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 fasci-

nates with its rich history, telling us stories of the feudal lords

Th ose 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 heal-

ing infl uence 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 specifi c wonders: the

wonders of the coast, the

islands and the mountains.

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 be-

stowed 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 se-

crets 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

off ering a blend of

pleasures almost

impossible to imagine.

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.

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 Mediter-

ranean, although by all

accounts he undoubt-

edly would have liked

to. Th e famous writer

once wrote: “God wished

to round off His work.

And so, on the fi nal 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 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

excitement.

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

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?

Th e answer is quite

simple: one should not

even try, for it would be

a wasted eff ort.

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...

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.

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

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.

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 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).

Th e name of Split is also translated in the following ways: a princely holiday,

Mediterranean passion, Dionysian relaxation.

64Trogir is a city whose prosperity has endured for 2,300 years. Th e 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. Th e 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.

Th e interiors of the rooms are decorated with fur-niture from the 19th and early 20th centuries and such decor could not have been any diff erent 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 fi ne wines. Just as in a real Dalmatian tavern, there is also the music of klapas (Dalmatian folk singing groups).

67 Trogir was born on a tiny islet in the heart of the Adriatic

coast. History records it was founded by the Greeks, while

the Romans left their trace in it, Slavs came and inhabited it

and the Saracens came and destroyed it. It was also ruled by

Venice, Napoleon and the Habsburg Monarchy. Numerous

monuments in this town remind us of this turbulent history.

73 Split is the main metropolis of the warm Croatian south. Its in-habitants will tell you, and with no small amount of charm and conviction, that their city is “the most beautiful in the world”. And who would dare dispute that claim? Particularly when walking through the palace of the mighty Diocletian, enjoying at the same time a view of their beloved Mount Marjan. Or indeed, rubbing the big toe (the biggest big toe in the world!) of Bishop Grgur Ninski (of Nin).

Th ese heartbeats are a large part of its irresistibility, 'Nima Splita do Splita' (there is no such a town in the world as Split), say its residents, but more and more its visitors as well.

80Omiš has chosen a marvellous place for itself. It is situated where impressive mountains and the azure sea meet, where the swift -fl owing Cetina River empties into the relaxed Adriatic, and at the point where the continental aromas car-ried 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 whichis seemingly impossible to combine, always come back to Omiš.

Today the old city stands where the Greek settlement of Pharos once was. In the middle ages, Hvar was an impor-tant harbour of the Venetian Empire. Proud of its historical heritage, Hvar today is an enchanting and friendly place to visit and enjoy.

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 Du-

brovnik competed with Venice. At its peak in the 15th and 16th

centuries, the Republic of Dubrovnik became a treasury of ar-

chitectural, 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.

When he wrote that

the second most

beautiful place in the

world was Dubrovnik,

the fi rst 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...

Dubrovnik is set amidst Mediterranean surroundings of unri-valled 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 Korčula-born Marco Polo. The island of Mljet is a national park, while the island of Lastovo and the Elafiti Islands are nearby. And every-where, but everywhere, are small, sheltered, enchanting beaches.

Coming face to face

with Dubrovnik is like

an encounter with a

beautiful woman: the eye

appreciates her attributes

at fi rst glance.

100Th e story of Opuzen is full of historical mystery, partly be-

cause of its links to Forte Opus - the Venetian fortress from

the 17th century, and partly because of the pirates from the

Neretva river. Today Opuzen is a combination of culti-

vated land, wetlands and an ornithological reserve, which

prompted some to name it the green pearl of the Adriatic.

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 Ve-

lebit, 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.

Th ose who visit the

Lika-Karlovac region

once will assure

themselves of a theory

according to which a

part of this area was

named aft er 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

justifi ably be applied to

the entire area.

LIKA - KARLOVAC

Page 147: Small and Family - run Hotels

147

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 combi-

nation of the rural landscape and rich cultural heritage.

This attractive heritage is summed up by the town of Ogu-

lin. 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 leg-

ends and fairytales of the wider area.

To put it in a nutshell,

the Lika-Karlovac

region is the living proof

that sometimes

fairytales should be

sought in real life.

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 Za-

greb’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 residen-

tial 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. Inte-

grated 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,

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.

ZAGREB

Page 155: Small and Family - run Hotels

with its Renaissance-style arcade surmounted by bronze cupo-

las 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 be-

cause 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 recrea-

tional 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, ethnograph-

ic 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.

Zagreb is a single

city but has a

thousand attractive

faces.

115 Velika Gorica is a picturesque village located about ten miles

south of Zagreb, in the valley of the River Odra. Th e archaeo-

logical fi nds suggest that there was life back in the fi rst century.

Today's cultural and historical monuments are testament to

the continuity of a pleasant life and valuable tradition. One of

them is 'Vrata od Krca', a carved and decorated wooden mon-

ument to humanity, which locals built in the Turopolje wood.

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 leg-ends 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 ar-moured 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 cas-tles 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 Eu-rope. On a different note, those fond of active holidays will find that the entire area offers countless and varied opportunities.

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,

fl ower-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.

If, having walked through the burgs and fortifications, or fol-lowed 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 in-dicate 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.

Marija Bistrica, home to the main Marianic shrine in Croatia, is also in this part of the country.

Coming to Central

Croatia gives

visitors the opportunity

to reinvent their

romantic soul.

There are countless ways for guests to find this out for them-eselves. 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 women-folk - 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 fresh-water 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 pre-fer 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.

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.

Th is can be discerned

in the very fi rst

encounter. Setting off

down the road towards

any of the Slavonian

towns, one is greeted

by golden fi elds of

sunfl owers, a swaying

sea of wheat and

expanses of promising

vineyards - all of them

waving and saying:

Slavonia is a land of

plenty.

SLAVONIA

Page 171: Small and Family - run Hotels

The Kopački Rit Nature Park offers quite a different kind of enjoy-ment. Stretching alongside the Danube delta is one of the largest bird reserves in Europe, particularly of water fowl. All of this breath-taking variety of wings offers itself to our cameras. Not to say any-thing 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.

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 Vu-kovar 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.

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.

But Brod is not just a treasury of 'Ancient Tales'. Here, it is likewise diffi cult to resist the present times.

123 In Osijek, the Slavonian heart beats strongly indeed. Some

say that it has been beating ever since the fi rst settlements

rose on the right bank of the river Drava. It also beat in

the times of the Roman Mursa. From the 18th century, the

rhythm of the heartbeat is probably strongest close to Tvrđa,

a defensive-cum-urban structure quite unique in Croatia.

Vinkovci is a city where the spirit of old Slavonia always rises again, thanks to the natural environment and its location in the midst of the Slavonian plain. However, it is the people of Vinkovci who greatly contribute to this atmosphere. For instance, they launched the Vinkovci Autumn Festival, mak-ing local tradition part of the contemporary. Moreover, many elements of Slavonian traditional culture have become a rec-ognisable trademark of the tourist off er in Vinkovci.

increasingly attractive destination for those who enjoy

countryside vineyard plantations, river boat rides and local

culinary delicacies.
