When it is time to think of holidays, you will find it hard to imagine a more magnificent
natural beauty than that of Dalmatia, where the Adriatic Sea meets the highest Mediterranean mountains.
The coast and islands are studded with beaches shaded by thick pine forests, whose freshness
seeps out over the shingle to a crystal sea.

Natural beauty is enhanced by evidence of the region's human history: ancient, old-Croatian,
Romanesque and folk buildings, extending well as right along the coast in picturesque villages
and small towns. In these smaller places, as well as in larger towns, there are superb
locations for a holiday, entertainment and rest-a silence, which can send you to sleep,
and sonorous Mediterranean nights soaked with the hot breath of the south.
If this whole region has a common characteristic, it is the simple and good-hearted sincerity of the
domestic host, his peaceable yet boisterous nature, and the unaffected desire to present his guest
with the very best of everything. You cannot pack it in your suitcase when you return home, but it
will remain in your soul until you visit once again.
