With an ever increasing troubled world, tourism is one of those hit by the number of problems that can happen at any time and once you have paid out on your Mediterranean cruise or Croatia holiday, you are at risk of losing everything you have invested into it. Even now, many tourists do not believe that the price of travel insurance is worth it and put everything at chance by traveling without it.
Home town of Marco Polo
– full day tour by hydrofoil
Lying on a small peninsula surrounded by city walls and fortresses, Korčula is one of the most beautiful medieval cities on the Adriatic Coast. Korcula is entirely covered in pine forest so the Greeks named the island Korkyra Melaina, meaning “Black Korčula”. Famous traveler Marko Polo was born there or so many believe. We tour its charming streets to magnificent Cathedral of St Mark who is the city’s patron saint. There are a lot of squares with Renaissance palaces, town loggia which can be seen along the way. The excursion by boat will takes you to Korčula sailing along the island of Mljet and Elaphite islands.
After a pleasant trip e we arrive at the small place Postojna, where we will see one of the best known and most beautiful caves in Europe. The caves are 22 km long, and an electric train will take us through one part, after which we will walk about 2 km through the most beautiful part of the caves. Then we proceed to Lipica, the place where the well-known Lipizzaner horses have been bred for centuries. From there a professional guide will take you to the stud farm where you will be witness a special performance program.
No, Split airport is not being remodeled or expanded like the title suggest. Even though Split airport is the most important airport on the Adriatic with one million international passengers landing on it, there is still no need for expanding it.
What I am talking about is that in 2009 there will be 12 more airline companies landing on Split airport than there were in 2008. Last year there were 48 airline carriers landing on Resnik with 15 of them being low budget airline companies.
Split airport is the first airport in Croatia that started doing business with low budget airline companies. From the total number of airline passengers arriving at Split airport one fifth of them came through low budget airline companies.

Culinary agree only on one thing – truffle in gastronomy is on top level. Unusual underground hidden bulb, with no plant above ground is very difficult to find. Only, a well trained dog can sniff them. Truffles grow in grey soil, in woody humid area of Motovun in the valley Mirna.
Exactly that is where we go with a truffler and with his well dressed dogs seeking his majesty –truffle.
During our 3 hour walk through the forest truffler will tell us all the secrets and particulars about truffles. After that, lunch will be served on base of truffles followed with wine in a specialized restaurant.
Now this is what impresses me. Imagine how many generations were rested in the shades of this beautiful tree, how many bottles of olive oil it provided or how many battles were fought in it the vicinity of this proud tree during the last 15 centuries. Just touching this tree with your bare hands takes you far away into the imaginary land of how it used to be.
Kastela is the city adjacent to Split and is composed of 7 Kastela towns. The names of 7 Kastela are as follows:
Kastel Stafilic – From my point of view, the must see thing in Kastel Stafilic is the olive tree which is 1,500 years old. It bears a witness of continuous noble surroundings and the arts and crafts of local farmers.
Kastel Novi – a walk through the narrow typical coastal streets of Kastel Novi, along the stone halls and arcades leads you to the cellars of Kastela’s wine makers. That is where they store their quality wines for which they cared through the year.
