Flying Visits Croatia & The Adriatic

With over 1,200 miles of dramatic coastline punctuated by rocky bays and dotted by over 1,000 unspoiled islands, all lapped by crystal-clear seas, and relaxed cities that are living museums of history and culture, Croatia is a fascinating mix of classic central European and easy-living southern Mediterranean styles. Long centuries of Roman, Venetian and Austro-Hungarian rule are still visible in the culture, architecture and cuisine; and the country' new confident focus guarantees the warmest of welcomes. Inland from that spectacular coast are mountains and gorges, caves and national parks, easily visited with Cadogan's day excursions and longer tours. Just next door is affluent, friendly Slovenia, with fairytale lakes and the impressive Julian Alps; and Italy's eastern coast is a short ferry hop away. For a week or just a weekend, this is truly the only guide you'll need. Inside you will find: o 12 major Adriatic coastal cities and towns in one guide o How to get there, by air, rail and sea o Traveling between Croatia and Italy by sea o Up-to-date, insider advice on where to stay, eat, and shop o Local history, food and drink explained o Day trips by local bus, train and ferry from each destination city o Foolproof five-day tours by car or ferry for those with more time to spare o User-friendly town maps, and area maps to help you plan your tripStewart, James is the author of 'Flying Visits Croatia & The Adriatic', published 2005 under ISBN 9781860111921 and ISBN 1860111920.
