From the ruinous break-up of former Yugoslavia, Croatia emerged as an independent country composed of two contrasting cultures. The long stretch of coast that runs from Istria to Dalmatia bears a strong Italian influence, while the interior has a strong central European flavour. But it's Croatia's appeal as a sun 'n' sea destination that lures millions of holidaymakers. The yachting crowd has sprinkled glitter on the islands of Hvar and Korcula while cruise lines have made Dubrovnik an essential port of call on their Mediterranean circuit.

Pasko wouldn't let me out of his sight once he knew we were looking for an apartment. He followed me to each of the other places we were considering, lowering his price at each stop. The one Luci from Dubrovnik arranged didn't cut it - no internet ... Read more >

Dubrovnik is only a few hours from Mostar but in an entirely different world. The weather gets warmer, orange trees are ripe with fruit and the Adriatic is a lovely shade of blue. There are no bombed out hulks of buildings, although Dubrovnik had ... Read more >

I'll keep this brief, namely because I've been tapping out the Dubrovnik tale for the past hour and my hands are a little sore. Croatia was an amazingly beautiful country and I'm sad I only had two weeks to experience it in. It's full of not only ... Read more >
