LOCATIONS
ZAGREB
Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and is divided into three parts;Gornji grad (upper town), Donji grad (lower town) and Novi Zagreb (new Zagreb). For the traveller, both the upper and lower towns will provide range of tourist attractions from historical buildings, museums and galleries through to bars, cafés and nightclubs.
Zagreb has a very relaxed feel to it and the local people are very friendly with many people having a surprisingly good grasp of English. Although this is the capital city of Croatia it lacks many of the impersonal trappings that larger capitals suffer from, for example, young people are still expected to give their seats up for older people on public transport!
The town centre definitely has a lot to offer and the best advice to benefit from this is to pop in to the tourist information in the centre of the town at 11 Main Square or Trg Bana Jelacica.
DUBROVNIK
Dubrovnik is situated on the very southern part of the Croatian countryside and was built in the 13th century with much remaining in that state until the present day. In the 1970s Dubrovnik was placed on Unesco’s world heritage site alongside Stonehenge and The Taj Mahal which pays some tribute to the beauty of this “Pearl of the Adriatic”. The only people to not share this view are those that have travelled through the country and are able to put the town’s beauty in a context with the rest of the Croatian coastline and countryside! SPLIT
Split is the second largest city in Croatia and is situated on the site of earlier Greek settlements. At the turn of the fourth century AD the
Roman emperor Diocletian built a retirement palace around which the town of Split grew. With just under 200,000 inhabitants Split is the largest city on the Adriatic coast. There are many airlines serving split as well as frequent train and bus routes from Zagreb. For sea lovers Split offers ferry connections between the local islands including, Hvar, Brac and Vis where there is even a permanent cricket team. Ferries also connect Split with the towns of Rijeka and Dubrovnik with extremely reasonable prices.
PULA
Pula is situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and is the largest city in this part of Croatia. Like the rest of the region, it is known for its mild climate, calm sea and unspoiled nature. The city is best known for its
many surviving ancient Roman buildings, the most famous of which is its first century amphitheatre which is the sixth largest in the world and locally known as the Arena. This is one of the best-preserved amphitheatres in existence and is still in use today during the summer festivals. Two other notable and well-preserved ancient Roman structures are the 1st century AD triumphal arch, the Arch of the Sergii and the co-eval temple of Rome and Augustus, built in the 1st century AD by the Roman emperor Augustus. Throughout the city's old quarter can be found narrow streets paved with ancient Roman stones and lined with Medieval and Renaissance buildings.
MAKARSKA
Makarska is a small town of Roman origin in the centre of the Adriatic coastline that stretches for 60km between the towns of Brela and Gradac 
and is so-called the Croatian “Riviera”. The town is about 40 miles southeast of Split and 90 miles northwest of Dubrovnik. As a regional tourist centre, Makarska is located on a naturally formed harbour between the Biokovo mountain range and the Adriatic Sea. The city is noted for its array of palm tress adorning the sea front promenade which its shares with fashionable cafés, bars and boutiques.
