GENERAL INFORMATION
We extend our warm welcome to you and we are pleased and proud that you have decided to visit our country. The Croats call their country “Our Beautiful Homeland” - the starting verse of the Croatian na-tional anthem. The Republic of Croatia is a European parliamentary state and a part of European political and cultural history. By size it is classifi ed among the medium size European countries such as Denmark, Ireland, the Slovak Republic or Switzerland. Croatia is a land of open frontiers and clear cut cus-toms regulations. It is also a land of concord and one that is respectful towards its guests. We Croats strive to make our beautiful homeland equally beautiful to all who visit it, and we do our best to ensure that they take with them only beautiful memories.

ABOUT THE
ASSOCIATION
Small family-run hotels are a new feature of Croatian tourism. They encompas 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.
Permit 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 one is the fact 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 recognized, where individual wishes and preferences are respected; where one’s host knows exactly how to make each and everyone feel welcome, accepted, respected and yes, 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 refl ection of the tradition of the area in which it is located.
With the intention of enabling you to get to know authentic, indigenous local values, every hotel tells its own very individual story. There are many ways to do this - through a style of architecture which refl ects the clime in which the hotel is situated, its specifi c interior decoration, the aromas and fl avours of the local cuisine, a wine list typical of the locality, excursion tours to landscapes found nowhere else, sport and recreational activities which, for certain locations in Croatia, were simply 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.
And that 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 specifi c, to opt for something individual - that is what we would like you to bear in mind while browsing this catalogue.
Dear Guests,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SMALL AND FAMILY-RUN HOTELS
We are confi dent that you will make the choice that is right for you.

Croatia is a geographical region which has attracted peo-ples from time immemorial. On its soil, various cultures have come into contact, intertwined and even merged: Il-lyrians, Celts, Ancient Greeks and Romans. When they de-parted, this land became an intersection between the East-ern and Western Roman Empires. Then came the arrival of the Franks, who were followed by Byzantium. Here, ancient Slavic deities met face to face with those of the Illyrians, as did the Catholic and Orthodox Churches, as did Christian-ity and Islam. If we continue this story down to the present, we realise that Croatia has always been a world where other worlds meet. Worlds like the Roman, Hellenic, Germanic, Hungarian, Ottoman, Slavic... And throughout this time the Croats have always been, and remained, what they are: Cro-ats. Indeed, contacts 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.
ABOUT CROATIA
All those who have come
to Croatia down the ages
left behind a little of
themselves in their passing.
This cannot be disputed,
even by the fact that on
their eventual departure
they were unable to take
away but a tiny piece of
her within themselves. And
if we were to say that this
relates only to present-day
guests, drawn by the desire
for a pleasant holiday, it
would be only a small part
of the truth.
9
It would seem that Croatia’s fate was predestined by her
geographic characteristics. Within its small area Croatia
encompases the sunny Mediterranean, pre-Alpine moun-
tains and the Pannonian Plains. And that is by no means
all. Hidden within each of those larger regions are several
of quite distinct areas. Did you know, for instance, that the
Croatian word krš became a term accepted worldwide for
a region where stone dominates? Or that Croatia is called
“land of a thousand islands”? Did you know that Croatia
is one of the countries of Europe most rich in water? This
scale of diversity is best refl ected in a natural heritage
which comprises eight distinct national parks: Plitvice
Lakes (designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO),
Krka, Kornati, Brijuni, Mljet, Northern Velebit, Pakleni-
ca, and Risnjak. And then there are 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),
Žumberak - Samobor mountains and Lastovo archipelago.
Many have experienced Croatia’s wealth of diversity
through their palate, at table and savouring dishes the
names of which are geographically defi ned: 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 the 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 diversi-
fi ed interweave of the land is shown by the masterpieces
created by the hand of man.
UNESCO World Heritage List confi rms the unique and universal values of the old city of Dubrovnik, Diocletian’s Palace in Split, St. Jacob’s Cathedral in Šibenik, the me-dieval core of the city of Trogir and the complex of the Basilica of St. Euphrasius in Poreč.
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. One such was Korčula-born Marco Polo, the leg-endary traveller who, in the 13th century revealed China to the Western world. In the 16th century Faust Vrančić of Šibenik invented the fi rst modern-day parachute. Ju-lije 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 Smiljani in the region of Lika is an inventor without whose contributions to the fi elds of electrical engineering and radiophony, and many other areas, modern-day civilization would be diffi cult to en-visage. 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 Pen-kala, also of Zagreb, bequeathed to the world his technical pencil, fountain pen, detergent, and almost 80 other pat-ented inventions. In the same century Giovanni Luppis of Rijeka invented the torpedo, and the fi rst torpedo factory in the world was built in his hometown.
ABOUT CROATIA
11So the story continues, but we have to draw a line some-where. Let the fi nal 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 fi nd themselves in a land where the fi rst European calendar 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 writ-ing, and when hieroglyphs fi rst appeared in Egypt.
Croatia, this
world that is a
meeting place of
worlds, welcomes
all good-hearted
people with open
arms.
GASTRONOMIC OFFER
In the continental part of the country those favouring
delicacies of a more substantial nature, such as Slavoni-
an kulen, Zagorje roast turkey with mlinci, the fi sh-pa-
prikash of Baranja, Lika-style baked potato halves, Gor-
ski kotar-style tripe, or a wide variety of game dishes,
will be well satisfi ed.
Mediterranean Croatia is a realm of light cuisine based
on olive oil, the scampi of Kvarner, oysters from Ston,
Dalmatian fi sh, shellfi sh and crabs, frog legs and truffl es,
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 fi rst wine in Europe was
Croatia is 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
this land been a vibrant
meeting point of different
cultures, and consequently
of different gastronomic
customs.
13
In short, wherever
the connoisseur of
good food and wine
may fi nd himself or
herself in Croatia.
bottled. All a guest has to do is to discover the magic of
wines like Traminac, Riesling, Graševina, and Burgun-
dy; if seaside 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-
fi lled dough, boiled or baked) in the continental parts
of the country, to the gateaux of Rab, baškotin in Pag,
Frankopan gateau in the littoral, Dalmatian rožata – or
as some would say, crème caramel.
ACTIVE HOLIDAY
The Mediterranean part of the country, where one can
engage in attractive water sports and other forms of
recreation linked with the sea, is the right place for those
whose adrenalin fl ows faster when mention is made of
sailing, diving, swimming, surfi ng, water skiing, fi shing
for the larger fi sh, 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, speleology, etc.
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, mouffl on, bear,
wild goose or duck can fi nd 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 choice by the guests
themselves.
15
In Croatia, the
sporting and
recreational heart
beats stronger,
bringing health and
creating a feeling of
intense satisfaction.
Winter tourism in Croatia is also slowly but surely
gathering pace. The ski run 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 fi shing, underwater fi shing, 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 imprints of the footprints of dinosaurs in the stones
of the Savudrija coast, as though they wanted to present us with a tan-
talising pointer to an Age far beyond the compass of humankind’s col-
lective unconscious. Rising on sheltered elevations are circular hill forts
built by the Illyrian tribe of Histri, whose name still lives on, thousands
of years later, in the name of the peninsula. The conquering Romans
chose not to change the name either. And why should they? They seemed
to think it more expedient to enjoy themselves in their holiday villas, sa-
vouring 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 Is-
trian interior. And there, perched on the peaks of the hilly landscape, 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 truffl es. While on the subject of truffl es, it was here, close to
the village of Livade, that the world’s largest truffl e was found in 2000,
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.

weighing 1.3 kg. Another of the towns, Hum, is the smallest in the world;
Grožnjan is an oasis for artists, and in Pazin, nestling beneath a castle,
is a massive cave from which somebody, who knows who, whispered to
Jules Verne that he might consider journeying to the centre of the Earth.
The peninsula’s meadowlands are ideal grazing land for the indigenous
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. And all that would go down very nicely after a journey of dis-
covery along one of the cycling routes, or following an excursion to the
Brijuni National Park.
Istria is a true
fairyland which
exists in reality.

The littoral 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 refl ecting the way of life of the common folk. The faces of the fi rst are dominated by elegant villas and parks that bring a breath of Mitteleuropa to the Mediterranean: Opatija - the birthplace of Croatian tourism, followed closely by Lovran, Crikvenica and Mali Lošinj. Places like Volosko, Mošćenice, Mošćenička Draga, Kastav, Brseč or Jadranovo show that it is also pos-sible for life to develop around old fi shing 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 takes one’s breath away; Osor takes us back to the times of antiquity; Lošinj is the home of old and seasoned sailors; Valun a hidden fi shing oasis. The island of Krk fascinates with its rich history, telling us stories of the feudal lords of Frankopan and of Glagolitic

peaks; whether to stay in

traditions. It was there that the Baška Tablet (Bašćanska ploča) dating from AD 1100, this “Baptismal Certifi cate 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 ex-tends all the way to the sea and the Alps, or to attempt to un-ravel 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, Vražji Prolaz, 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 is a national
park, an azure nautical forecourt to the Zadar mainland. Zadar, a
town of ancient roots, is some 3000 years old – which in itself has
the status of a cultural event. Roman remains are complemented
by numerous examples of sacral architecture: the 9th-century
church of St. Donatus, the Cathedral of St. Anastasia (which rose
on the foundations 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 are heading
directly for an encoun-
ter with George Ber-
nard Shaw. No, he did
not settle in this part
of the Mediterranean,
although by all accounts
he undoubtedly would
have liked to. Th e fa-
mous 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 rhapsodic
experience in stone and of stone, a dreamland for an active holiday,
for treks through deep passes and ravines, for mountaineering
and free-style climbing, possible on Anića kuk – the most popular
Alpinist destination in Croatia. And why not follow this by rafting,
kayaking through a canyon and canoeing on the Rivers Zrmanja
and Krupa, or take a tour of the Lake Vrana – a protected realm of
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 fl avours of the local cuisine, the
fragrance of sage and the vistas of the medieval town of Pag. Ideal
for Mediterranean-style relaxation are the islands of Ugljan, Pašman,
Silba, Olib, Iž, Premuda, Molat, and Dugi otok. There, visitors may
choose from among the submarine world and sheltered coves, olive
groves, cellars, fi shing fi estas, donkeys, lavender, cycling routes...
Zadar has all the
allure of a siren – its
call is irresistible
and holds open
a 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. Jacob. This magnum opus has been delighting passers-by ever since it was built in the 15th and 16th century, 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 and meres, waterfalls and rapids, and once witnessed, they remain in one’s memory for ever. How else could it be, bearing in mind the splendour of the Roški slap and Skradinski buk waterfalls, the islet of Visovac on which a hushed and tranquil Franciscan monastery has for centuries served to combine man, water and sky in a harmony of peace.

one also decides to visit the Ivan Meštrović mausoleum in Otavice, and then seeks nourishment in 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. With their pebble beaches, pine woods, ancient vineyards and olive groves; with klapas (singing groups), fi shermen’s fi estas and donkey races, Babić – a delectable red wine, the coral hunters of Zlarin, sponge hunters of Krapanj... And what about the Kornati? This national park comprising the most numerous and the most richly indented archipelago of the Mediterranean is an encounter with a fascinating game played by 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.

Brodarica is a village on the island of Krapanj, the lowest-lying and the small-est inhabited island in the Adriatic. Th e area of the island is no more than a ½ km2; it highest altitude is 1.25 metres, and its distance from the mainland is a mere 400 metres. In the 1960s Krapanj was the most densely populated of all the islands, and its tiny arable area was criss-crossed by drystone walls into plots the size of small gardens, this being in no way suffi cient to ensure a sustainable livelihood. And so the islanders turned towards other sources, i.e. the sea. For centuries they have been fi shermen and sponge-harvesters. Krapanj is a quiet and peaceful island, no cars drive through it, and its pebbly beaches are particularly suited to children.

He could never have dreamed that his actions would be 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, the Split of our times 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, its magnifi cent portal bearing the signature of Master
Carver Radovan. The Kaštela Riviera comprises a picturesque string of
villages that grew around seven coastal fortifi cations, 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 and the craggy landscape of the Biokovo Nature Park, and the mellow valley of the River Cetina which, in its approach to the sea - and Omiš - fl ows through an impressive 50
km canyon - are all a feast for the eye, and a blessing for all lovers of active holidaying: riding, rafting, canyoning and mountaineering. The
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. And gave the
appropriate commands.

Omiš Riviera is a wonderful landscape where 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 are as many as 60 km of pebble beaches
offered by this Riviera.
The island of Brač is the largest of all the Dalmatian islands. Anyone
who has once walked the Zlatni rat beach does not need to be told that
it is one of the most beautiful beaches anywhere in 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, from
which period remain rich archaeological sites. 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, 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.

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, through Roman Tragurium and right up to the Trogir of our days. It does not take much to convince any one of this: we only have to cast an eye over the portal carved by Master Radovan, the Kamerlengo Fortress, or the medieval city gates.

are interesting enough in themselves. But when the evi-

its monumental heritage is found on the UNESCO World

be disappointed.

Th e Hotel Pašike is a new building with
all modern services, but it was built in the
guise of older times. It opened in 2004
aft er the renovation of the old house of
the Buble family. Th e interiors of the
rooms are decorated with furniture from
the 19th and early 20th centuries, which
decor could not have been diff erent given
the hotel’s location in the very center of
Trogir. It is located just a step from the
riva, in the area of Pasike, where they
have been building houses of stone - the
same ones that we see today - since the
15th century. In the center of the area,
next to the park, is the tavern Pašike, with
domestic specialties, authentic cuisine
and fi ne wines. And just as in a real Dal-
matian tavern there is the music of the
klapa (a Dalmatian folk singing group).

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), or rather, his magnifi cent statue, the work of Croatia’s greatest sculptor, Ivan Meštrović.

It is easy to feel at home here, particular-ly since the squares, restaurants and coff ee shops teeming with people make every day seem like a holiday. Th is feeling is further strengthened if one looks at the waterfront promenade which, in the summer, is blessed by the refres-hing maestral (landward breeze) while in the winter it is shielded from cold winds by Diocletian’s Palace and warmed by the Mediterranean sun.

It is situated in touch both with impressive mountains and the azure sea, at the place where the swift -fl owing 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 together. It is this mixture of sea and river, blue and green, wild and tame that makes Omiš a place that draws our attention right from the beginning. Guests who have experi-enced this special quality, which grew out of the mixture of that whichis seemingly impossible to combine, always come back to Omiš.

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 by having its place in the
UNESCO World Heritage List. Why it fi gures in that list is a question
that only those who have never visited the city would ask. The re-
doubtable defensive walls of the one-time city-state were witnesses
to the mighty merchant fl eet with which Dubrovnik competed with
Venice. At its zenith in the 15th and 16th centuries, the Republic of
Dubrovnik became a treasury of architectural, diplomatic, scien-
tifi c, literary, and many other skills. Strolling on the stones of the
central street - Stradun – the visitor will walk where the physicist
Ruđer Bošković, playwright Marin Držić, poet Ivan Gundulić, and
physicist Martin Getaldić once walked. After just a few paces, he
will arrive at the Onofrio Fountain and Orlando’s Column, the bell
tower with its famous clock fi gures, 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 nature of unrivalled beau-
ty. 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 ethno-
graphic 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 pro-
tect the oldest salt works in Europe, dating from 4000 years ago.
The bay of Mali Ston is a paradise for connoisseurs of shellfi sh 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, and nearby is the island of Lastovo and the Elafi ti
Islands. And everywhere, but everywhere, are small, sheltered, en-
chanting beaches.
Coming face to face
with Dubrovnik is like
an encounter with a
beautiful woman: the eye
appreciates her attributes
at fi rst glance.

into the medieval history of the Mediterranean. Th ose that
compare it to Venice in that respect, are not wrong. Th e ar-
chitectural heritage from those times is impressive. Closely

Hotel VILLA PATTIERA
Though 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 the today's visitors to Croatia, particu-larly if one bears in mind that this is indeed virgin nature. The valley of the Gacka river is an area of fairy tale atmosphere, with crystal clear waters, ancient mills and an abundance of very special trout. Lika has two national parks. The fi rst are the Plitvice Lakes with 16 cascading which have been included into the UNESCO list of planetary natural heritage, and the second is Northern Velebit with its wealth of protected and endemic biological species and a breath taking views of the Adriatic, in-cluding the island of Pag. Lika is the area of wholesome food, strong people, of the well preserved traditional way of life and real, age-old values. One of the crown jewels of the area is the medieval Nehaj for-tress, the symbol of both the town of Senj that 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 by its specifi c landscape which can be per-ceived as the return to the fundamental elements of nature - the sea, the stone and the sun. Many remember it for its beach in Novalja, the delicacies of its cuisine - fi sr and foremost the Pag cheese and lamb.
Th ose who visit the
Lika-Karlovac region
once will assure
themselves of the
validity the thesis
whereby a part of this
area was named aft er
the Celtic word likis -
which means „beautiful
land“. We haste to add
that the attribute of
„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
131
The landscapes of the Karlovac area are characterized mainly
by their transitional nature between the low laying parts and
Croatia and its mountainous area. The town of Karlovac was
born out of star-shaped Renaissance fortress, and is today full
of parks and promenades beneath the avenue centuries old
chestnut trees. In the environes of the town people seek active
rest and recreation on the banks of the four rivers - Korana,
Kupa, Dobra and Mrežnica - and that translates into swim-
ming, rowing, angling, canoeing and kayaking. Others enjoy
the blessings offered by the combination of rural landscape and
rich cultural, predominantly ethno-heritage.
And that ethno-heritage is what guests fi nd attractive is testi-
fi ed by the town of Ogulin. The costumed manifestation known
as Withces of Klek tells us of the values of popular local tradi-
tion, while the Ogulin Festival of Fairy tales celebrates the work
of Ivana Brlić Mažuranić, described as the Croatian Andersen,
as well as legends and fairy tales of the area and wider.
To put it in a nut shell,
the Lika-Karlovac
region is the living proof
that sometimes fairy
tales should be sought
in the real life.

Lika-Karlovac | Karlovac
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 fa-
miliar 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 edifi ce of its kind in Europe.
In the 19th century, in the area beneath them, new town - or
Downtown - was built according to a quite specifi c plan. At
a time when people were attempting to unravel the tangled
knot of traffi c, 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 signifi cance. And
to crown them all from the hilly elevation above the city is
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 attractions of
the present-day.
ZAGREB

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 specifi cally
because of it, the city continued to breath an urban atmos-
phere. It continues to do so today. Numerous theatres, muse-
ums, galleries, concert halls, exhibition premises, sports and
recreational grounds, restaurants, wine boutiques and beer
halls – all offer almost countless reasons for a visit. Possibly
with the intention of learning more about the rich historical,
artistic, ethnographic or gastronomic heritage of Croatia. Pos-
sibly simply to see and to be seen. Or possibly 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

Needless to say, they will be just as right if they come looking for her other face.Among the best examples for that is the landscape which opens up before our eyes if we happen to fi nd ourselves in Hrvatsko zagorje. The medieval and Renaissance fortifi cations, 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 open to guests. Veliki Tabor, the magnifi cent 16th century Renaissance fortress-cum-castle, seems to be still alive with the clash of swards wielded by ar-moured knights on horseback.And although the enchantingly romantic atmosphere of the Trakošćan castle rising on a small hill above a lake located in a park sets it appart from all others, they are 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 time gone by can be also felt in the Old Town of Čakovec, in the Baroque Old Burg of Varaždin, in Sisak the roots of which reach all the way to the times of Antiquity, or rather the Roman period. The preserved fortress of Sisak reminds the visitor of today of the times when it stood as a defence agains the Turkish onslaught against western Europe. And on a differ-ent note, those fond of active holiday will fi nd that the entire
Th e central Croatia
may indeed be a typical
continental area, but its
beauty is in many ways
anything but typical.

If, having walked through the burgs and fortifi cations, or fol-lowed the trail of historical battles, some may begin to wonder about their own health, there is no need to worry. The numer-ous 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 it was who said that good health is inevitably accom-panied 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, nu-merous castles and manor houses, nature parks and the phe-nomenon known as the naive art of Podravina which was made famous throughout the world by authors like Krsto Hegedušić, Ivan Generalić, Ivan Rabuzin, Ivan Lacković Croata. Marija Bistrica, the home to the main Marianic shrine in Croatia, is also in this part of the country.
Coming to central
Croatia is giving
oneself the opportunity
to reinvent one's
romantic soul.

Sisak owes part of its charm to three rivers, the Kupa, Sava and Odra, all meandering through the town centre. Th e river banks, rich in greenery, are a perfect venue for recreational activities. Th e Sisak fortifi cation, built at the confl uence of the Kupa and the Sava, evokes the times of the turbulent me-dieval age, when battles frequently raged. As one of the best preserved fortifi cations in Croatia, surrounded by meadows, it is a very popular excursion and picnic site. In its surround-ings is a treasure trove of rare rural architecture.

Hotel MLADIMIR
And there are countless ways for the guest to fi nd out for himself. Should he be in Đakovo during the Đakovački vezovi (the Em-broideries of Đakovo - 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 colourfull ker-chiefs, to make one realize that here the way of the plenty is the way of living and thinking. The Lipizzaner stud-farm of Đakovo, which has attracted visitors like the English Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and Princess Margaret, bears witness to that in its own way. This fi ne horse has been bred here since 1806. A rich table, characteristic for this area - whichever part of it you may fi nd yourself in - is laden with the famous Slavonian ku-len, ham, spiced sausages, smoked bacon, delectable meat and fresh water fi sh dishes. From the wine cellars of Kutjevo, Đakovo, Ilok the best of wines come to this table - Riesling, Graševina, Burgundy or Traminac. The old cellars of Ilok were the fi rst in Europe to bottle wine into glass bottles. And 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 fi shing, or rather trying to outsmart carp and catfi sh and make sure they fi nd 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 enjoy-ment.

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

encounter. Setting off
down the road towards
any of the Slavonian
towns one is greeted
by golden fi elds of

sea of wheat or the
expanses of promising

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. And then, there is Baranja, the re-gion where grape has been cultivated since the times of the Antiq-uity, 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 one to Osijek, its largest town which captivates with its Tvrđa (a system of fortifi cations) and its main Baroque square, but also the Osijek architecture from the Seces-sion period which many visitors fi nd rather impressive. Našice has the palace of the noble family of Pejačević, in Vukovar there is the Eltz palace - another Baroque gem of this area, as are the palaces in the centre of Požega. In Srijem, Ilok - the easternmost town of Croatia, boasts one of the mightiest fortifi cations on the Danube, while Slavonski Brod is the site of the largest fortress of the Baroque period in Europe rising where once the border between the Christian Europe and the Turkish Empire was. The dominant feature of Đakovo and its wider area is the striking neo-Romanesque cathedral.
In Slavonia people love
life and do their best to
enjoy it to the full, a view
of life that can be felt
every step of the way.

say that it has been beating ever since the fi rst settlements
rose on the right bank of the River Drava. It beat in the
times of the Roman Mursa. From the 18th century the

Tvrđa, a defensive-cum-urban structure quite unique in
