sometimes we forget
how lonely we wood be
without people we love.
we cry,
we worry,
about things that are so small
because
the only thing that can hurt us
is
lose the people we love.....

add vacation to your holiday!
When people are visiting Croatia they often come by car, especially considering that Europeans tourists make up the largest percentage of visitors to the country each year. When travelling from Northern Europe most people come through Munich, into Austria, cross the border into Slovenia and then head towards Croatia through Maribor. Those that travel by plane have a choice of 5 main airports which are positioned in and around major cities. Should you be concerned if you need a visa for travelling to the country then you should visit the Croatian Embassy where you live.
Rather than dollars or pounds, when you go to Croatia, you will need to have Kuna. A Kuna is split into 100 lipas. If you want to find out about the value of Croatian currency then you should check out the Croatian National Bank website. There you can find out today?s current values against GBP, USD and most major currencies that are used throughout the world. Rather than exchanging money, one great method is to use a credit card for your Croatian money instead. This will mean that you can use an ATM in the country to withdraw money, and therefore you do not have to worry about carrying large sums of money on your person.

One problem associated with this is that when you put your card into the machine you will have to be able to change the language to English through the menu. You should not be too concerned with this ? you should be able to get it eventually through using common sense. If you do not want to use a credit card, or you cannot work the ATM, then do not worry. Unlike some countries, where you firstly need to exchange into USD before being able to change into the native currency, Croatia allows for direct currency exchange. If you do decide to use a currency exchange you should avoid the services offered by the hotels; they tend to try to charge too much. When in Croatia you should not be too worried about being able to get medical help if you need it; especially if you have medical insurance. It is also worth showing the medical professionals your passport when you visit the hospital. The reason for this is that many countries have reciprocal medical arrangements where by they will willingly treat tourists as long as their tourists get treated in their country.

Istra Camping, Istra Hotels, Istra AdriaAlong with the fact that it is a multicultural and multi-lingual environment, the uniqueness of Istra lies in the fact that so much diversity is so harmoniously intertwined in such a small place: rich cultural-historical heritage with modern architecture and art; untouched beaches and clean sea with picturesque towns and natural beauty in the interior, luxuriously decorated hotels and villas with warm village rural tourisms, healthy Mediterranean seafood cuisine with autochthonous Istrian specialties…
Istrian natural heritage
Istra has succeeded in preserving a clean environment and balanced space. The largest Croatian peninsula abounds with untouched green oases and romantic coves, however it also conceals within itself many undiscovered corners. By the sea grassy, pebbly, rocky and stone slate beaches, while the shade of the pines often extends to the sea. In the interior, river tributaries, lakes, waterfalls, precipices, caves, luxuriant forests rich with wild fruits, hills and mountain plains...
Istrian cultural and historical heritage
Evidence has been found of the existence of prehistoric people from the Palaeolithic era in the Istrian caves, while more than 400 hill-forts bear witness to the high population density of Istra in the bronze and iron ages. The Romans are credited with the first urbanisation of Istra: fascinating monuments speak to us of this time. Even the rule of Byzantium in Istra has left a strong imprint – Euphrasian Basilica is one of the most beautiful early Byzantine churches in Europe.
Istrian active tourism
The Istrian mild climate and alluring landscape offer an abundance of opportunities for sports and recreational activities throughout the whole year, both out in the fresh air but also in indoors in closed sports halls. Alongside hotels there are usually well equipped sports terrains, while on the beaches there are centres for water sports and the central Istrian wilderness is favourable for adventure and extreme sports. Tennis was once the trademark sport of Istra and today is the favourite sport of many.
Istrian gastro specialities
Istrian specialities have all but become a gastronomic brand. Although various traditions have entwined together to create the Istrian cuisine, today it is specific and recognisable but also healthy given that it is based on ecological, pure nature. A meal may begin with home-style pršut and sheep cheese, followed by a plate of homemade jote (vegetable stew with sauerkraut) or maneštre (vegetable stews), finished off with fuži (traditional local pasta)...
