Culture & History

| The beauty of Croatia has
been captured in countless books, paintings and photographs. "The gods
wanted to crown their creation and the last day they turned tears, stars
and the sea breeze into the isles of Kornati". Thus spoke George Bernard
Shaw, referring to the largest archipelago in the Mediterranean.
Few people realise that Shakespeare's
"Twelfth Night" takes place here, or that Carlo Goldoni, Jack London, Eugene
Ionesco, to name but a few, were enchanted by the beauty of the Croatian
landscape.
The famous master of plots
and intrigues Agatha Christie also had a good reason to find a special
place in her heart for Dubrovnik and Split: she spent her second honeymoon
there. |

City Guide -
At first it may seem that the centuries have come to halt in the towns
of Croatia, but the impression is deceptive. The ancient towns seem almost
