This mini guide takes you to the most popular summer destinations in Croatia, including Dubrovnik, Split, Hvar Island and Pula. The capital of Croatia is Zagreb, and the currency is Croatian Kuna. Croatia entered the European Union in 2013. 2 Chapter 2 Dubrovnik – “pearl of the Adriatic” “NON BENE PRO TOTO LIBERTAS VENDITUR AURO” – Freedom is not sold for all gold in the world This Latin inscription can be found above the entrance into the Lovrijenac Fort in Dubrovnik. Freedom was and still is, the leitmotif of the city of Dubrovnik and its inhabitants. Located right at the entrance to the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik was an important transit point between the East and the West, especially in the Medieval times when the New World had not been discovered yet. The Mediterranean was, therefore, where all important and rich harbours flourished, transferring goods from East to the West. Merchants from the Medieval Republic of Dubrovnik travelled freely wherever they wanted and the city developed a respectable fleet that travelled all over the world. While travelling, Dubrovnik merchants weren’t interested in conquering lands they’d been to, but were sailing under a white flag and were only interested in trading. The white flag contained a word in Latin: “Libertas”, which means freedom. 3 What to do in Dubrovnik?

  • Salamat Pagi from Indoensia
    June 1, 2013. Dobar Dan from Split, Croatia! It’s a brand new cruising season for Lazy Bones, and we are very excited about our journey. This year we are cruising from Preveza, Greece, up the Dalmatian Coast through Croatia and into Venice, Italy. After a month in Venice, we will cruise down the Croatian coast again, visiting the places we missed on the way up, then on to Montenegro, and finally over to the southern point of Italy and on down to Sicily, where we will end the season in October in Ragusa, leaving Lazy Bones for the winter in Marina di Ragusa. We left L.A. on April 23rd, and after a brief stop in London we arrived in Athens, Greece, after seventeen hours of flight time. We spent a night in a hotel and the next day took a six hour taxi ride to Preveza, in the northwest corner of Greece, where Lazy Bones spent eight months on the hard at Cleopatra Marina during the winter. The marina had done an outstanding job of working on some projects and getting Lazy Bones ready for our cruising season. We usually do not have work done in our absence, but Vasilis, the head engineer for the marina, impressed us with his knowledge and expertise and we felt confident about the quality of the skillsets they had. He kept us updated with regular e-mails and pictures of the work being done while we were back home in L.A. At our request, Lazy Bones was sparkling clean upon our arrival.

  • INTRODUCTION Croatia Is a Country with a Rich Historical and Cultural Heritage and Natural Beauty. Its National and Natural Trea
    INTRODUCTION Croatia is a country with a rich historical and cultural heritage and natural beauty. Its national and natural treasures are revealed in the numerous museums, galleries, churches and national and nature parks, which are, as monuments of the highest category and examples of exceptional beauty, an unavoidable chapter inscribed on the UNESCO list of world heritage. Moreover, those historical and natural resources are indeed visible on almost every corner, whether following the intricate white stone alleyways and streets, or sailing along the exceptional marine archipelago and merry harbors of the coastal towns of Istria, the Kvarner and Dalmatia. The Millenial history of Croatia is told by hundreds of medieval churches with striking frescoes and fascinating braided reliefs. With as many as nine cultural phenomena, Croatia has become the country with the most protected cultural phenomena in Europe. The unique Croatian seascape, beautiful coastline, bays, beaches with pine trees and picturesque coastal towns and more than a thousand islands simply grab one’s attention with their uniqueness. The Croatian coast and the deep blue sea bed with an abundance of flora and fauna, reveal the magical world of the centuries past, from ancient amphorae to sunken galleys and ships that sunk in the whirlwinds of the two world wars. It is a true paradise for divers and boaters whether they prefer sailing under a full sail or on cruising motor boats. KEY INFORMATION The Adriatic Sea was named after an ancient port of the same name. Today, the city of Adria lies on the Italian coast, 38 kilometers away from the sea, which is a result of geological forces by which the north shore constantly rises and the south shore descends.
