North Croatia Istria
The culture of Istria reflects the historical heritage of many small towns and a mixture of various cultural traditions. It shows a strong interaction of land and sea cultures, which is evidenced by the appearance of towns, by folk customs and even gastronomy. The more populous towns in the interior of Istria are Buzet, Pazin, Motovun, Žminj and Buje and on the coast are Porec, Rovinj and Pula.

The city of Pula is located near the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula. The peninsula sits between the Gulf of Venice to the west and the Bay of Kvarner to the east which is encircled by the towns of Opatija, Rijeka and encompasses the islands of Krk, Cres, Losinj and Rab. Much of the peninsula is thickly forested and is predominantly agricultural.

Krk is the largest island in the Adriatic and is dotted with small picturesque towns and sites of natural beauty. The island of Rab is one of the most popular destinations. The town, by the same name, with its historical quarter and unique position, is considered to be one of the most beautiful holiday destinations on the Adriatic coast. The island of Pag belongs, administratively, in part to the bay of Kvarner and also to Dalmacija.

Middle of Croatia Kornati Islands
On the last day of the Creation God desired to crown his work, and thus created the Kornati Islands out of tears, stars and breath» - wrote George Bernard Shaw. According to the legend the islands of Kornati were created out of white rocks which remained after God has completed the Creation. He threw those rocks into the sea and as He saw the result, He decided to leave it that way, because they were perfect in His eyes.

Beautiful nature, a network of countless islands and islets (a folk saying goes: 'one island or islet for each day of the year'), the magnificent sea – all this makes the Kornati Islands a true promised land for boaters and yachting enthusiasts. Kornati Islands are the largest archipelago in the Adriatic (147 islands), the islands stretch in the length of about 35km, between the island of Dugi otok (Long Island) and the island of Žirje.

The Kornati area is one of the richest fishing grounds in the Adriatic, especially rich in benthos species. The islands have a number of small coves, \'wild\' harbours, where boaters may take shelter and dock. Boaters spend the nights on their boats, the other may rent a modest house or just a stone cottage. On the island of Piškera there is also a modern well equiped ACI-marina with 120 berths. The islands are a unique pleasure and experience to all those who are keen on bathing in the crystal-clear sea, who appreciate peace and quietness but also feel ethusiastic about eco-tourism.
