Lengthways on coast of Adriactic Sea      <br /><br /><br />Croatia in Europe is space in space and a civilisation in a civilisation. The country is so diverse, what even for simple acquaintance at least with an edge of its coast holiday needs to be spent in very dynamical style. And it is even better - and then you precisely will make about it own representation - some holidays. <br /><br />In the conditions of modern development turindustrii similar intention can be carried out in the most natural and easy image. Simply warn your tour operator that be not going to sit on a place, and ask to write out the air ticket there - one way the countries, and back - from another. So you will manage to cross all Croatia from the north on the south. Or on the contrary. <br /><br />Ojkumena Istrian peninsulas<br />Creating the Earth, gods have formed Istrian peninsula hearts. To understand, how much it live, there is at least time in a life to postpone the affairs, to arrive here and to feel its palpation. Not without reason this part of the solar Mediterranean has received name Terra Magica - &quot;the Magic Earth&quot;. The tender sea, hospitality of local residents, affable smiles of attendants in all without an exception hotels, delightful kitchen - here that meets the Russian tourist and does rest here unforgettable. <br /><br />Riches and a variety of architecture of cities of Istria - a heritage of rough history of the edge, drawing steadfast attention of Greeks, Byzantines, Venetians, the Austrians. Visiting peninsula, we each time anew plunge into captivating atmosphere of medieval Europe, not losing, that is important, the comfort which has become habitual in XXI-st century. Istria - past reflexion in the future&#33; <br /><br />The city of Porech - the true pearl of the Mediterranean keeping the charm throughout many centuries. The resort with measured beach rest by evenings turns to the centre of the high culture accessible behind each little table of any of street cafes in the form of live music, worthy philharmonic halls. It fills lanes and merges in a uniform chord with the music which has fallen asleep in a stone. Waves of melodies and magnificence of architecture immerse in ocean of world soul - after all music sounds for you. <br /><br />Up to now in poreche have remained ancient Roman toponimy. It is More than that, having passed on streets Kardo Maksimus and Dekumanus, you will see the same, that appeared to looks walking here far from vanity of empire of Romans. It is no wonder - two thousand years ago porech already had the high-grade status of a city. <br /><br />Necessarily it is necessary to visit ruins of a forum with its temples, to see medieval fortresses, Romance and Gothic constructions, baroque palaces. It is impossible to pass by basils Evfrazija with its well-known mosaics entered in the list of the World cultural heritage of UNESCO. Bishop Evfrazy has constructed a temple in VI century on a place of more ancient Christian cathedral which, in turn, have erected exactly there where the first has accepted martyr death porechsky bishop Maurus. <br /><br />Krk is such island<br />Usual island gold do not name, but Krk by right has deserved so sonorous name. Among 1185 islands of the Croatian Adriactic Sea he unique. Drifting in the centre of the Kvarnersky gulf, Krk became unusually popular at turististov thanks to a unique combination of the conditions, allowing to make rest is unique the various. The moderate Mediterranean climate, a convenient geographical arrangement, beauty of the nature, riches of culture - for all in aggregate &quot;gold island&quot; in century before last have nicknamed it the sixth continent. It is possible to get here from a land through the bridge, from the sea - any courts, having moored in one of its numerous harbours. And it is possible to arrive also by plane. But irrespective of the chosen way you, having arrived to Krk, are easily convinced, that have plunged into the tremendous atmosphere created by a combination of the present and last, modern and archaic - in the reality which has been given to drink by legends. <br /><br />Exists povere, that for this edge since ancient times and up to that moment magic value the figure has seven: in VII century it was occupied by the Croats, seven times local residents have successfully defended the earth from piracy attacks, and last prince of Krk, Frankopan, was the seventh under the account. And today at island seven cores cultural-administrative centres, the main thing from which the city of Krk is. <br /><br />Nearby to it it is located Punat - capital olivkovodstva and yachting. In the middle of the Puntarsky bay islet Koshljun with Franciscan monastery undoubtedly deserving visiting was sheltered. Two-kilometre coastal zone Bashka - one more symbol of Krk - recognised as one of the most beautiful beaches of the world. Possibilities for productive leisure here are really unique. If you have already mastered diving can in the company with the guide dive to the sunk ships. At least two objects in neighbouring waters have received popularity in the world of divers: one lays, probably, since Napoleon&#39;s times, another - the Greek vessel - was wrecked in the sixties the last century. <br /><br />Median Dalmatia<br />To see all Croatia, we will go from Istria on the southeast. And, if we do not hasten, it is not necessary to leave on high-speed highway which will quickly bring quickly us to the Split. We will choose old road, its bends form a freakish ornament along coast. The tourists spending in Croatia month and more, prefer to travel on it on a bicycle. However if at you all week without car rent not to manage. And then to evening of the same day it is possible to arrive in Trogir. Will be in time to a decline - first of all rise on a belltower of a cathedral Sacred Lovro, admire an old city. To it of two thousand years, and he, apparently, has not changed at all. Probably, you even will feel not easier power of the centuries which have passed here, but also own incomprehensible participation in destiny of this city. <br /><br />We have a rest on-imperatorski<br />Following point of our program start up there is not an airport nearby to Trogira, and Split, that almost in an hour of driving further, along coast. The city is well-known for the history and is pleasant atmosphere. Roman emperor Diokletian when, has abdicated here has left, has exchanged dusty vanity of the Eternal city for a life approaching to eternity original. <br /><br />Acquaintance and this time is better to begin, having risen on a tower: rare possibility to appear in a point of crossing of three elements - the sky, water, the earth. Before you the bay, behind it passage, the powerful range of island Brach blocking horizon will be stretched. Below, directly underfoot, the thousand-year sea of tile roofs in which centre palace Diokletiana rises, the persecutor of Christians (now here the temple is no time Church driven by the emperor). <br /><br />Eternity on Makarsky Riviera everything breathes, even waves is unreal the turquoise sea running on marble, silky to the touch a pebble. Beaches here completely not such, as in the north: there the natural coastal line is issued in the form of the quays hiding sharp rocks of limestone, and these coast have kept protogenic naturalness which is underlined by crones of stone pines. Nagretye the sun relic subtropical pines exhale exciting aroma of essence and in 20 metres from a surf edge extend the dense shade softening the strongest heat. Similar you will not find anywhere. If Turkey, Cyprus, Crete, let alone Egypt, in July are heated as a frying pan on the Croatian Adriactic Sea the prosperity created by harmony of light and a shade reigns, heat and cool, the marvellous sea and the deep sky. <br /><br />Brachsky dances<br />One business - continent coast, another - islands. In Croatia each of them - the self-sufficient and original Universe in which and a life to live not boringly, and hour of walk will leave unforgettable impressions. <br /><br />Half an hour on the ferry from Split or Makarski, and you will appear on island Brach - the surfing centre, well-known is far outside of Adriactic Sea. Other card of Brach - cape the Gold Horn. The rare booklet on tourism in Croatia does not contain its photo made from air, but is rare on what images cape contours look equally - they constantly vary under the influence of a wind and currents. <br /><br />In the city of Bol - resort capital of Brach - the life gushes forth till late night. The youth involves possibility as it is necessary to be delayed in discos and perfect conditions for active sea rest. Here as easy as shelling pears for a week to master a sailing board, for couple of days - an aqualung, for half an hour - a sea kayak. Well and for a month - to master all around. <br /><br />At any rasklade the one who thoroughly will approach to acquaintance to island Croatia will correctly arrive and will study its coast, having selected as a vehicle a motor boat. I will notice, that from two variants - usual derevjanno-plastic or inflatable - I would prefer the second. Such boat jumps on waves more hazardously, will easily serve soft matrasikom if want to sunbathe, and, eventually, it cannot be drowned. <br /><br />The best place where it is possible to go from Bola, carries sacred Martin&#39;s name. To find sheltered in a deep bay on a southeast extremity of Brach toy small town which here name Sumartin, it is very simple: it is necessary to sail away from Bola and to go along coast on the left, in a direction to a continental part of Croatia blurring on horizon in a dark blue haze of the warm sea. You are waited by two hours of coasting swimming and picturesque bays where very much I advise to moor on a way. <br /><br />Absolutely deserted coast … Presence of the person has not broken them till now pervozdannosti. Bathing in such bays will result fans of lonely natural rest in euphoria from which not in a condition to deduce anything … Well unless sea hedgehogs whom it is full in natural harbours because from their big beaches appreciating silence and rest, tourists have dispersed. To frighten these living creatures of a naked heel - pleasure for the elite, the rest is advised not to neglect the bathing slippers many presented in tents of all coastal trading-entertaining zones. <br /><br />Despite your expectations and readiness to meet the purpose of the travel, the small town Sumartin will arise suddenly. Photos of its quays made from the sea, it is possible to decorate both apartment walls, and book page in a fantasy genre. <br /><br />Everyone who moored by the ship to unknown cities, approximately represents, that felt Magellan, Columbus and Vasco da Gama. The purposes, coast can be different, the ships and many other things - the spirit of the pioneer is invariable only. <br /><br />To keep a solemn spirit before the returning, it is necessary to have dinner, first, at port small restaurant on an open terrace, and secondly - to fill up gasoline level in a petrol tank that on a return way it was not necessary to make a sail of cowards and a vest. <br /><br />To Dubrovnik rassvetnym in the morning<br />If to rent in Makarske the car early-early in the morning it is possible to leave to Dubrovnik in the evening. To hasten it is not necessary, especially at dawn when Adriactic Sea laying on the right is decked by paints of an inflaming dawn. Moving slowly, to Dubrovnik it is possible to reach hour for four. It taking into account stops and breaks on coffee and lazanie on rocks in search of the best foreshortening for an unforgettable photo. <br /><br />On distant travel across Croatia the main advantage of early departure (besides that yet too hot) - deserted road which by a dinner will be not so free. The matter is that local lines do not distinguish width and mnogopolosnost, but tortuosity is peculiar to them at a strongly pronounced relief landscape. That is to overtake a tractor going on road it is practically impossible. Croats do not like to break a traffic rule, and if in a continuous dividing strip it is not visible rupture, all will trudge behind a tractor while he will not curtail. In this country and signs establish, and a marking put obosnovanno - restrictions specify in real danger in case of their non-observance. <br /><br />One more simple rule which it is necessary to remember, going from Average Dalmatia in Southern, - at itself is necessary to have the passport and it is desirable - a card of your hotel or a camping. On road it is necessary to pass a boundary cordon as the continuous line of the Croatian coast has rupture: the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina has here an exit to the sea. But frontier guards do not demand the visa and do not put stamps - simply look the passport. <br /><br />The accruing density of a transport stream speaks about approach to capital of Southern Dalmatia and characteristic for all centres building of suburbs, is not clear where passing in actually city. Directly at the rate - the huge bridge connecting continental and island parts of &quot;the big Dubrovnik&quot; - the modern, dynamically developing centre of Southern Europe with the extensive resort zone sated with every possible sights. <br /><br />Kurortno-administrative it is necessary to distinguish Dubrovnik from Dubrovnik historical - the card of Croatia and all medieval Mediterranean. Yes it with what you will not confuse. The old city in a frame of the fortifications, laying between a line of a surf and abrupt mountain coast of continent, is similar to a pearl between half-open shutters of a bowl. How many time you here came, never the unusual feeling, probably, will be gone: as if, as if in a fairy tale, you get on the revived pages of the favourite nursery of the book about cities-locks. Its inhabitants - entirely noble knights, fine ladies, Dominican monks and the brave captains discussing in taverns has put Marco Polo and Vasco da Gama as something absolutely usual. <br /><br />Having passed gate, we not begin to go deep hasty in medieval quarters. We will better pay five euros, we will rise on a wall and we will greet a city, having bypassed it on a circle. To a sight besides tile roofs the life dubrovchan will open. Here the woman leaves to remove from a cord linen. Here the family gathers for a supper round a table covered on a terrace directly ahead of a penthouse. Here the kid plays with a cat and itself as the kitten, blinks, looking on the sun through own ladoshku. At known age people are able to play even with heavenly bodies. <br /><br />In Dubrovnik year from a year more and more apartments is bought by very rich people from the most different countries of the world. They repair old houses, insert plastic windows, restore a tile and open own boards where invite tourists. It is possible to live, of course, in such hotel, however dubrovchaninom hardly you will become even for a while. Aboriginals are distinguished by any especial expression of eyes speaking about absorption in something, not accessible to penetration from the outside. They spend days in the houses as if in aquariums, under steadfast attention of hundreds thousand tourists and, being able not to notice strangers, keep wise calmness. <br /><br />Having bypassed a city on perimetre, having gone down and having gone to wind on labyrinths of lanes, in any way it is impossible to pass by a crevice in a wall approximately in the centre of that its part that is turned to the sea. Having made the way in it, we will find out the open cafe entered in a rocky terrace. Here will not offer refined dishes, there will be, perhaps, only a beer with chips, but after all cafe - not only meal. It is a part of a way of life, and in that case here, possibly, one of the best places on the earth.
