The city is simply unique; its beauty is bewitching, its setting sublime. Thousands of visitors walk along its marble streets every day, gazing, gasp- ing and happily snapping away. Start with a walk around the City Walls (p34) and then descend into the old town to explore its labyrin- thine lanes and the grand spread of its main street, Placa. Take time to visit at least a few of its numerous churches, monasteries and museums, the top options being the Rector’s Palace (p46), War Photo Limited (p46) and the fresco-covered St Ignatius of Loyola Church (p47). Climb up to the cable car and take a ride to the top of Srđ (p40). Finish your day with a stroll through Ploče and Viktorija (p42), ending with a dip at Sveti Jakov Beach (p43). Getting There & Around Dubrovnik’s old town is compact and car-free. A There’s a major international airport at Čilipi, just south of Dubrovnik. J Coaches head to Dubrovnik from neighbouring countries and from all over Croatia. N From April to November, car ferries travel between Dubrovnik and Bari in Italy. Local ferries link Dubrovnik to various islands and to Split. Dubrovnik Map on p44 Dubrovnik’s Old Town CGE2010/SHUTTERSTOCK © 71 Explore Y Dalmatian Coast The coast of mainland Dalmatia is a stretch to be savoured by beach seekers, wine lovers and history buffs alike. All along its length, rugged mountains form a dramatic backdrop to a string of historic towns and beautiful pebbly beaches. Although tourism is in full swing here, there’s still plenty of lush Mediterranean greenery to enjoy, including pine forests, olive groves, vineyards and orchards. Ideally you would throw in some beach time and stretch out your stay over a few days, but you can still see a lot on a single day’s drive up the coast. Start at Trsteno Arboretum (p75) then continue up the highway as far as the Pelješac Peninsula, turning off towards Ston. After exploring the walls (p72), stop for an oyster-filled lunch at Kapetanova Kuća (p73). Continue along the peninsula, pausing for a wine tasting (p76) on your way to the car ferry at Trpanj. Try to squeeze in a quick swim and look around Makarska before hitting Omiš in time for dinner. Getting There & Around J Coaches traverse the coast between Dubrovnik and Split regularly. Some turn inland and travel down the Pelješac Peninsula. N Car ferries head between Orebić and Korčula, Makarska and Brač, and Drvenik and Hvar. From June to September, catamarans also stop in Makarska en route between Split, Bol, Korčula, Mljet and Dubrovnik.

Twenty towers and 5.5km of this extraordinary wall are still standing, arching far up the hill between the town of Ston and its diminutive sibling Mali (‘little’) Ston. 91 Explore Y Korčula Town & Korčula Island Rich in vineyards, olive groves and small villages, and harbouring a glorious old town, the island of Korčula is the sixth-largest Adriatic island, stretching nearly 47km in length. Korčula Town is breathtaking. Ringed by imposing defences, this coastal citadel is dripping with history, its marble streets lined with Renaissance and Gothic buildings. Start by wandering through Korčula’s old town, stop- ping to explore St Mark’s Cathedral (p92) and the Korčula Town Museum (p95). If you’re interested in religious art, call in to the Icon Museum (p95) and Ab- bey Treasury (p93). Take a drive to Konoba Mate (p98) for lunch. Afterwards, head down the steep hill to Pupnatska Luka for a swim before returning to Korčula Town in time for a sunset cocktail at Massimo (p99). Getting There & Around J Routes connecting Ston, Dubrovnik and Split to Korčula Town use the Orebić car ferry. N Car ferries head between Orebić and Dominče, 3km east of Korčula Town, and between Split and Vela Luka. Catamarans head to

Vitiprah: CULTURE AND TOURISM IN DUBROVNIK IVO BAN, Ph.D., Full Professor VESNA VRTIPRAH, Ph.D., Full Professor Faculty of Tourism and Foreign Trade, Dubrovnik, University of Split, Croatia CULTURE AND TOURISM IN DUBROVNIK UDC 338.486:7] (497.5-37 Dubrovnik) Received: 06.05.2003 Original scientific paper Dubrovnik's market position was weakening already in the latter half of the 1980s, and the long absence from the evermore demanding tourist market as a consequence of war created additional problems. All this, alongside the unavoidable process of transition and other associated problems, contributed to the serious difficulties facing Dubrovnik's tourism. This paper explores the kind of consequences war- had on the tourism of Dubrovnik and the extent to which cultural heritage was adequately represented both in the tourist supply of Dubrovnik and on the international market. The purpose is to complete an analysis of the existing situation as a basis for the formulation of future strategic goals. With this in mind, the paper presents some directions for the future development of tourism in Dubrovnik. Key words: tourism, Dubrovnik, heritage, cultural tourism, sustainable development. INTRODUCTION Tourist traffic during die war and post-war years dropped to a minimum. The results achieved in 2000, 2001 and 2002 show diat Dubrovnik is successively making a comeback to the international tourist market. However, the future of Dubrovnik's tourism can no longer be viewed from previous positions, due to the changes which occurred as a result of die devastations of war and the establishment of new market relationships.
  • Split & Central Dalmatia

    Split & Central Dalmatia

    © Lonely Planet Publications 216 Split & Central Dalmatia Central Dalmatia is the most action-packed, sight-rich and diverse part of Croatia, with dozens of castles, fascinating islands, spectacular beaches, dramatic mountains, quiet ports and an emerg- ing culinary scene, not to mention Split’s Diocletian Palace and medieval Trogir (both Unesco World Heritage sites). In short, this part of Croatia will grip even the most picky visitor. The region stretches from Trogir in the northwest to Ploče in the southeast. Split is its largest city and a hub for bus and boat connections along the Adriatic coast. The rugged DALMATIA DALMATIA 1500m-high Dinaric Range provides the dramatic background to the region. SPLIT & CENTRAL SPLIT & CENTRAL Diocletian’s Palace is a sight like no other (a Roman ruin and the living soul of Split) and it would be a cardinal Dalmatian sin to miss out on the sights, bars, restaurants and general buzz inside it. The Roman ruins in Solin are altogether a more quiet, pensive affair, while Trogir is a tranquil city that’s preserved its fantastic medieval sculpture and architecture. Then there is Hvar Town, the region’s most popular destination, richly ornamented with Renais- sance architecture, good food, a fun atmosphere and tourists – who are in turn ornamented with deep tans, big jewels and shiny yachts. Let’s not forget the coastline: you can choose from the slender and seductive Zlatni Rat on Brač, wonderful beaches in Brela on the Makarska Riviera, secluded coves on Brač, Šolta and Vis, or gorgeous (and nudie) beaches on the Pakleni Islands off Hvar.

    ancient Pterocarya stenoptera (champion), Thuyopsis dolobrata and Phyllocladus alpinus ‘Silver Blades’. We just had time to admire Michelia doltsopa in flower before having to leave this interesting garden. Our final visit was to Fonmom Castle, the home of Sir Brooke Boothby who had very kindly invited us all to lunch. We sat at a long table in a room orig- inally built in 1180, and remodelled in Georgian times with beautiful plaster- work and furnishings. After lunch we had a tour of the garden which is on shallow limestone soil, and at times windswept. We admired a large Fagus syl- vatica f. purpurea planted on the edge of the escarpment in 1818, that had been given buttress walls to hold the soil and roots. There was a small Sorbus domes- tica growing in the lawn and we learnt that this tree is a native in the country nearby. We walked through the closely planted ornamental walled garden into the large productive walled vegetable garden. This final visit was a splen- did ending to our tour, and having thanked our host for his warm hospitality, we said goodbye to fellow members and departed after a memorable four days, so rich in plant content and well organised by our leader Rose Clay.

    NEWSLETTER Zagreb l Smičiklasova 21 doi: 10.3326/nle.2016.108 [email protected] l www.ijf.hr l tel: +385(0)1 4886 444 No. 108 l November 2016 l ISSN 1848-4662 Budget outturns of Croatian municipalities, cities and counties for 20151 KATARINA OTT, MIHAELA BRONIĆ, BRANKO STANIĆ This article aims to provide a simple presentation of basic data on the budget outturns of Croatian local government units in 2015.2 It includes synthesized tables based on the Ministry of Finance's database, showing revenues and expenditures3, as well as surpluses or deficits (in per capita and total terms). Also presented are data on the populations4 and levels of budget transparency in all the local government units5. This analysis and the tables additionally provided in the Excel format, allow all interested parties to get acquainted with the financial condition of their respective local government units in 2015 and make relevant comparisons with the situation in 20146. While the Ministry of Finance does publish budget outturns for all local government units7, they are in the form of oversized Excel tables, with the cities and municipalities arranged by county. Given the large number of local government units (whose complete budgets are presented), the navigation through these tables and comparison across the local units is often difficult. This article gives the reader a snapshot of the basic financial condition of the local government units in 2015, while more detailed information can be found on the Ministry of Finance’s and local government units’ websites. Nevertheless, some notes may be necessary for a proper understanding of the presented data.
