The Croatian Convention Catalogue by Croatian National Tourist Board

The Croatian Convention Catalogue

Dear partners, And (we sincerely hope) dear friends, Everything you thought you knew about staging congresses in Croatia you can forget. Something better has been put in its place. Croatia as a convention destination has been enhanced and diversified beyond…we were going to say recognition, but we hope not. Let’s just agree it is even better and more varied than it ever was before. Many of you have visited and seen for yourselves. Even more must have heard about it from friends, colleagues and business partners. And with good reason. With each passing day, Croatia is becoming increasingly attractive to those who organise conventions, incentive travel, meetings and sporting and cultural events. Many more have gone before and those that have staged international and other gatherings remember the professionalism of their hosts, their hospitality and inventiveness. Put it all together and it forms an ideal framework for events that are not only uniquely memorable but which enter into the very history of associations and corporations as the most meaningful and professionally organised. It is precisely for that reason that a number of them have chosen Croatia as their permanent venue. We would like you to keep pace with the changes we have made, and to add to your programmes the new facilities and services contained in this, the second issue of our catalogue. We have included new capacities alongside our new business philosophy. Professional PCO and DMC companies - organisations which combine professionalism and creativity - will become reliable partners in shaping, enlivening and delivering your most creative ideas. The Croatian Convention and Incentive Bureau, its regional offices and its facilities are constantly available to you as potential hosts or for any additional information you may require. And when you are ready, remember, we will organise your inspection visit, recommend itineraries and become your reliable guide through Croatia’s convention credentials. But first, leaf through the catalogue. We believe it might trigger a few memories or perhaps even prompt the beginning of a cooperation between us which I very much hope will become a lasting business friendship. Welcome! Yours sincerely, Nik Račić, M.Sc. Director Croatian Convention and Incentive Bureau

Meeting friends in friendly Croatia

The Croatian Convention and Incentive Bureau (CCIB) is not only the official voice but also the eyes and the ears of the Croatian meetings community. It is an integral part of the Croatian National Tourist Board and is staffed by experienced business specialists who are always at your service. Every member who joins the CCIB has to provide a guarantee of quality up to

the highest international standards and criteria. The main role of the Bureau is to develop and enhance the product and then to represent it as the distinctive image of Croatia alongside the best and most prestigious congress and incentive destinations in the world. The CCIB is a non-profit organisation providing potential event organisers with free information about

the country’s meetings credentials, its congress centres, hotels, PCOs, DMCs, pre- and post-tour agencies and transportation. Additionally, the CCIB will bring Croatian institutions and individual members of international organisations into contact with each other and help them bid for Croatia’s nomination as host country for international conventions.

AREA

CLIMATE

POPULATION

SOCIAL SYSTEM

Count up the coastlines of the 1,244 islands, islets and reefs, (of which 50 are inhabited) add in the mainland coast of 1778 km and you find Croatia has 6,278 km of land touching the sea. The Republic of Croatia itself covers an area of 56,594 sq km, with its territorial waters extending to 31,067 sq km.

In the north of the country the climate is continental; further south it changes to a mountain climate, while in the coastal a warm Mediterranean ambience predominates. Average summer air temperatures range from 15 - 27°C, with sea temperatures from 25 - 27°C.

Croatia has a population of 4,437,460 inhabitants, the language is Croatian and the script Latin.

Although it has a thousand-year history, Croatia only became a fixture on the political map of Europe as an independent state in 1990. Its parliamentary democracy enjoys a system based on the protection of human rights, the rule of law, the rights of minorities, a free market, social justice and political freedoms.

CURRENCY

COMMUNICATIONS

The currency is the Kuna, banknotes and coins â&#x20AC;&#x201C; kunas and lipas (100 lipas = 1 kuna). Banknotes in circulation are in the following denominations: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 1000 kunas. Coins: 1, 2, 5 and 25 kunas, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 lipas. Credit cards (Diners, Visa, American Express, Eurocard, Master Card), as well as Eurocheques are widely accepted. Cash dispensing machines can be found everywhere.

Located in central Europe, Croatia has the nearest warm sea for most Europeans. It can be reached by all forms of transport in just a few hours. The capital, Zagreb, is 576 km from Munich, 371 from Vienna, 188 km from Graz and it is just 126 km from Trieste to Pula.

ECOLOGY The national air carrier, Croatia Airlines, serves some 40 destinations throughout the world, while all major airlines touch down at Croatian airports such as Zagreb, Osijek, Rijeka, Pula, Zadar, Split, BraÄ? and Dubrovnik.

With about 8 % of its territory comprising national parks, or subject to some other form of environmental protection, Croatia is an ecologically precious part of Europe. Growing within its borders are 4,300 species of plants, many of them endemic. The Adriatic Sea is home to some 400 edible types of fish, molluscs, crabs and shellfish. The tap water is drinkable.

Business efficiency and a sense of adventure

As you adjust your tie before attending a meeting, why should you think of Croatia? Because Croatia is the birthplace of the cravat – the father of the tie – not to mention the ballpoint pen, two of the visible, now sadly disappearing, symbols of the business world. Croatia is known worldwide for its natural beauties. There are few other countries where you can find so many contrasting wonderful landscapes in such a small area.

The beauty of its shoreline and islands are in perfect symmetry with its widely diverse interior. Blue meets green in total harmony. Croatia is today, as it always has been, uncrowded, free from excessive development and determined to retain the right balance between man and nature. How successful it has been can be judged by the fact that no matter where you are you may safely quench your thirst with water straight from the tap. And it is within reach. Crisscrossed by modern roads, closely connected by air with other European and global destinations, Croatia is so near and yet so far from the hassle of everyday life.

Croatia combines a warm, genuine welcome with the highest levels of professionalism. The amenities and ambience for meetings are outstanding, backed by eager and highly trained people ready to accept the greatest challenges. Outside the auditorium, there’s an environment guaranteed to deliver the most memorable incentive experiences. Croatia is a perfect convention host and a most exciting adventure guide.

Croatian treasure trove

Croatia is regarded by many as Europe’s most beautiful garden. And its growing popularity as a destination for tourists is matched only by its increasing appeal to corporate and association meeting planners. In the new ‘green’ environment Croatia is a natural haven, through the beauty of its landscapes, ecological awareness and renowned professional services. Come for a short stroll around the country.

Croatia covers 56,594 sq km of land and 31,067 sq km of sea. It may be small, but it’s beautifully formed. An intricately indented coastline meanders around 1778 km of the Adriatic shoreline, with 1185 islands, reefs and cliffs. Population is about 4.5 million. The capital is Zagreb, with Central European charm and over 900 years of history.

Croatia is where the Mediterranean, Central Europe, the Alps and the Pannonian plane meet and merge. Croatia is not just a country of sunshine coast and rocky islands, it is rich in hidden surprises and challenges. Forested Gorski kotar (the mountainous area between northern Croatia and the coast and within easy reach of the sea) is a magnet for nature lovers, mountaineers, alpinists, winter sports fans and hunters.

The region of Lika, separated from the sea by the vast massif of the Velebit Mountain, attracts an ever increasing number of tourists. The Baroque castles and thermal springs of Hrvatsko Zagorje; the region of Podravina bounded by the River Drava and the wooded slopes of Bilogora; mellow, low lying and fertile Slavonia ... each with its own interpretation of beauty.

Croatia believes that the preservation of nature is the key to its future in tourism. Experts and laymen agree: Croatia is one of the leastsaturated tourist countries in the northern Mediterranean, one that has avoided the ecological stresses of industrial and urban development. Consequently, with almost 10 per cent of its territory currently protected within national parks or elsewhere, and with the aim of enlarging those areas in

the near future, the region is especially valuable to Europe as an ecological reserve. Croatia has been welcoming visitors since the 19th century. Today, there are around 500 modern hotels, appointed to the highest standards, some 80 tourist estates, 40 marinas and about 300 camping/caravan sites. A number of hotels form part of international hotel chains.

11 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

On the other hand, tourist demand has led to an increase in the number of small and family hotels. But regardless of size and ownership, all hotels are characterized by their quality services and hospitality, equipped with both space and staff to cater to larger and/ or smaller business and other gatherings. They are able to offer programmes designed to make work more effective and recreation more pleasant. Superbly appointed wellness centres, swimming pools, sports and entertainment opportunities, gastronomy in tune with modern trends and guestsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; special requests - all form an integral part of available services and facilities.

There are about 500 travel agencies operating in Croatia. Many of them with a longstanding and well-developed infrastructure, grew into PCOs and DMCs and proved themselves by organising numerous large congresses, glamorous shows, and sports events, alongside smaller business meetings and imaginative incentive trips.

Famous natural and cultural localities, cities rich in history, historical monuments, cultural festivals, legends... when brought together they create an excellent recipe for meaningful and varied programmes that spice up the working element of any gathering. Alternatively, they can be turned into motivational, incentive and team-building events. Whether inland, by the coast or on the islands, there are hundreds of scenarios for the creation of memorable events. The opportunities for unique backdrops are too numerous to mention, but many can be found in the national parks and other areas under UNESCO protection. The real and still more beautiful encounter with this land is yet to comeâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;Ż

12 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

We have selected eight national parks out of the many with natural beauty that deserve to be visited, for our theoretical journey, in the hope that your senses might be stirred to visit in person what you can only read about here. And it should be pointed out that equally beautiful journeys await you when you visit Croatia.

Europe’s most beautiful garden PLITVICE LAKES NATIONAL PARK Plitvice Lakes, included in the UNESCO list of world heritage, is the best known national park in Croatia and one of the most beautiful natural beauty sites in Europe, attracting every year large numbers of tourists from all parts of the world. The site includes 16 lakes interlinked by waterfalls. Through the sedimentation of calcium-carbonate, natural barriers are formed on the beds of the lakes which consistently rise above the water’s surface, continually growing in height and width, thereby creating waterfalls of breathtaking beauty.

This national park extends over an area of almost 30,000 hectares, 22,000 hectares being forest-covered, sections of which are primeval in character. Alongside numerous types of bird and small game, the park provides a habitat for deer, bear, wolf, wild boar and lynx, while its waters abound in trout. Thanks to modern roads the Plitvice Lakes National Park is as easily accessible from Zagreb as it is from the coast. The exceptional beauty of the lakes and waterfalls, can be viewed by walks along the forest paths and across wooden bridges. Comfortable hotels and restaurants offering local cuisine and specialties all year round.

13 DUBROVNIK REGION DUBROVNIK

BRIJUNI NATIONAL PARK The briefest way to describe the fourteen islands and isles of the Brijuni Archipelago is as a series of luxuriant landscaped parks, with a rich underwater world, a valuable cultural heritage and an elite tourist destination. Throughout history Brijuni has hosted many prominent personalities from the worlds of high society, culture, business and politics. In 1983 this park, with a total area of 36 sq km was declared a national park.

The Brijuni are famous not only for their lush Mediterranean vegetation, but also for specimens of flora imported from all corners of the world. Its underwater world teems with sponges, shell fish, crabs and all kinds of fish. The world of fauna, however, has lost its indigenous character, particularly on Veliki Brijun island, since it is now home to game brought in from elsewhere, such as stags, does,

mouflon and rabbits. The islands are also renowned for preserved Illyrian hill forts, for reminders of Roman times: thermae, temple, Villa Rustica, as well as a Byzantine castrum... The size of the summer residence in Verige Bay has led experts to conclude that it was once the residence of a Roman emperor. The Brijuni have long been an exclusive tourist destination, indeed their tourist history dates back to the 19th century.

NORTHERN VELEBIT NATIONAL PARK The islands have also enjoyed the reputation as a health resort, as well as being a fashionable centre which attracted no small number of crowned heads of the times. In the years that followed, this exquisite archipelago continued to be a place where history happened: numerous world statesmen, politicians and artists came to visit, as did so many other guests who simply wanted to savour their unique nature.

The Northern Velebit National Park, established in 1999 and covering the most attractive and precious natural sections of the northern part of the Velebit mountain, is the youngest Croatian national park. It has an area of 109 sq km and includes the strict regime reserve of Hajdučki and Rožanski kukovi. This is a specific geomorphological phenomenon where more than 150 holes or pits have been

discovered, among them Lukina jama, at nearly 1400 metres, one of the deepest in the world. The park is criss-crossed by a grid of mountain paths, the most famous being the Premužić Path, designed in 1930 and completed in 1933, which passes through the most beautiful and most

interesting parts of Velebit. RISNJAK NATIONAL PARK Due to its magnificent and untouched nature, in 1955 the Risnjak Mountain, covering an area of 32 sq km, was declared a national park. Dense forests, a varied and interesting animal world and incredible karstic forms all come together in the continental region of Gorski kotar, and have found their home within the boundaries of Risnjak. The area includes many rocky peaks and spurs and large sections of karst and forest, all dominated by the imposing peak of Risnjak. Owing to a favourable climate, flora is exceptionally varied, but fauna does not lag far behind: ninety species of butterfly, sixty types of bird, with bears, chamois and, of course, the lynx which, experts believe, this mountain was named after. Interest in the beauties of Risnjak has a long tradition, but with todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s modern roads and accommodation facilities,

17 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

it has been greatly heightened. PAKLENICA NATIONAL PARK The sensations which this national park arouses in those who visit it are sheer exhilaration and awe. There are few places where man feels his insignificance more than at the foot of the precipitous, 300/400-metre-high cliffs, the tallest of which (AniÄ&#x2021;a kuk), is the best-known alpinist site in Croatia. The wealth of the park includes exceptionally rich forests and fascinating caves. Indeed, two-thirds of the park is forest-covered and, depending on the distance from the sea, continental and Mediterranean influences blend and prevail. No visit to the park would be complete without seeing the caves, the most attractive of which is Manita peÄ&#x2021;, which to date has been explored to a depth of 175 metres. The area of its largest hall is almost 300 sqm, with some of its stalagmites rising to 20 metres in height.

18 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

KRKA NATIONAL PARK In the course of its 75 km-long journey to the sea, two-thirds of it through canyons, the River Krka has created seven waterfalls over calcareous rock and several lakes, in a practically semi-desert landscape. It is these hydrological and geomorphological features which led to the area being awarded national park status. Rising above the river at the northern border of the park

are the fortresses of TroĹĄenja and NeÄ?ven; then there is the monastery of St. Archangel, with its valuable inventory that has been regularly updated from the 14th century to today. Visovac Lake surrounds the tiny isle of Visovac on which, in an area slightly larger than a hectare, stands a church and a monastery with a precious art and museum collection. The largest, the richest and definitely the most beautiful waterfall on the Krka,

(according to many the most beautiful travertine waterfall in Europe), is Skradinski buk, with its 17 steps extending over a distance of 800 metres and a total height of almost 46 metres. The final whirlpool of Skradinski buk is also the point at which the Krka joins the sea. Proceeding for a few more kilometres, down a much gentler and lower canyon, one comes to Prokljansko jezero (Proklja Lake) with an area of 11.5 sq km and

MLJET NATIONAL PARK 22 metres at its deepest. The level of salinity and biological characteristics show it to be predominantly sea water, although it should be a lake, being surrounded by land. The waters of this river are home to two endemic types of trout: sore-mouthed trout (Salmothymus) and Visovac Lake trout (Salmo visovacensis).

The southernmost national park in Croatia, the island of Mljet, is renowned for its sumptuous vegetation and woods, for its valuable cultural heritage, but most of all for its deeply indented coastline. The western third of the island, of some 31 sq km, where indentations, woods, flora and cultural heritage are particularly valuable, has been declared a national park. The exceptionally indented nature of the island is best

demonstrated by the fact that the sea has burrowed itself into the centre of the island through a narrow strait and created, first the Great Lake and then, after passing through an even narrower passage, the Small Lake. Two sea water lakes within one island! On the south-western side of the Great Lake is the tiny island of Sveta Marija, with a 12th century Benedictine monastery â&#x20AC;&#x201C; now transformed into a hotel.

20 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

KORNATI NATIONAL PARK The Kornati comprise the most indented archipelago in the European part of the Mediterranean. A total of 101 of its 140 islands, reefs and cliffs, with an overall area of about 50 sq km, is covered by a strict protection regime. The entire park is four times larger. The main characteristics of the Kornati are its incredible indentations, rocky cliffs or coronas, after which, some say, the islands were named. Its rich underwater world and crystalclear waters complements a landscape which although shaped by nature, bears the stamp of man. A significant feature of the islands are the drystone walls built by farmers, mostly from the nearby islands of Murter and Dugi otok,

to divide and prevent sheep from straying on the uninhabited islands. On Kornat, the main island of the archipelago, there are 69 km of such walls. Archaeological remains bear witness to an Illyrian hill fort some 2000-3000 years old; on Piškera the Romans maintained their central fish collection and storage depot; at Lavsa they had their salt works. There are also several small, medieval churches, among them the only one in the whole of the Adriatic to have been built exclusively for fishermen. Today, the Kornati are synonymous with nature, particularly favoured by those who seek a temporary escape from civilization and a Robinson-type holiday.

23 Man and nature have left their mark on Croatia in the form of treasure troves of culture and art, as well as natural phenomena: nature’s own masterpieces. We have opted to name only seven monuments, or rather localities, from UNESCO’s list of World Heritage. These are: Diocletian’s Palace, dating from the period

of late antiquity which grew into the medieval city of Split; the cities of Dubrovnik and Trogir; St. Euphrasius’ Basilica in Poreč; St. Jacob’s Cathedral in Šibenik; Plitvice Lakes National Park the best known of all Croatia’s parks, and the latest addition to the list – the Starigrad Range on the island of Hvar.

THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

From the UNESCO list of World Heritage

DIOCLETIAN’S PALACE IN SPLIT Included in the UNESCO list of world heritage since 1979, Diocletian’s Palace is regarded as the best preserved example of imperial palaces dating from the times of antiquity. No other imperial residence built before or after Diocletian’s Palace in Split has managed to retain its original features to such an extent. The Roman Emperor Diocletian spent the final years of his life close to Aspalathos in Dalmatia,

where he was born. He built himself a vast palace, the original architecture of which witnessed many changes down the centuries, while the building itself remained well preserved. And within those Roman walls a city grew, without diminishing the beauty of its original features. Still intact, therefore, are the Peristyle, Diocletian’s Mausoleum, the Temple of Jupiter, the colonnades lining the streets,

the small early Christian churches, the Romanesque houses, the Andrija Buvina Gate and the architectural feats of Juraj Dalmatinac (Georgius Dalmaticus).

THE OLD CITY OF DUBROVNIK Dubrovnik is a medieval city which, in many surveys, has emerged as one of the most beautiful in the world. Although there is evidence of habitation since prehistoric times, it is believed that the city of Dubrovnik was established in the 7th century. For five centuries it was under the rule of the Byzantine Empire while, from 1358 to 1808, it flourished as the independent and famous Dubrovnik Republic. Apart from Venice, Dubrovnik

was the only city-state in the Adriatic area. The walls of old Dubrovnik encircle a complex of preserved public and private, sacral and secular buildings, dating from all periods of the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history since the 7th century. Of particular significance are Stradun - the main street of the old city - the Ducal Palace, the Church of St. Blasius, the Cathedral, three large monasteries, the Customs building and the City Hall.

THE ROMANESQUE CITY OF TROGIR The beautiful medieval city of Trogir was entered in the UNESCO list of protected world heritage in 1997. It is located on a small isle linked to the mainland and the island of Čiovo by bridges. Trogir was founded in the 3rd century BC by Greek colonisers from the island of Vis. This ancient nucleus forms the historical foundation of the best preserved Romanesquecum-Gothic city in Central Europe. The medieval core of Trogir, girdled by walls, comprises a well preserved castle and citadel and numerous buildings and palaces dating from the Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque periods. The most significant of all these is the Cathedral of St. Lawrence. Its construction began in 1123 and its features are Romanesque and Gothic in character. Don’t miss its portal, often called ‘Radovan’s Portal’ after the master carver who created it in 1240, regarded as the most important example of Romanesque plastic art in Dalmatia.

CATHEDRAL OF ST. JACOB IN ŠIBENIK

BASILICA OF ST. EUPHRASIUS IN POREČ  Dating from the 6th century, the Basilica of St. Euphrasius is the most beautifully preserved monument of early Byzantine art in the Mediterranean. Although not as large as other preserved basilicas dating from that time, it is unique since it is the only church of its kind with an original structure still intact.

Well worth seeing are the priceless Byzantine gold mosaics in the central apse and on the floor. In summer the basilica becomes a striking venue for concerts of classical music.

This monumental and unique masterpiece of Croatian building skill was executed with elements of floral Gothic by the master builder Juraj Dalmatinac, who laid down its concept.

STARIGRAD RANGE OF THE ISLAND OF HVAR The cathedral is the largest architectural Renaissance monument in this part of the world and took over one hundred years to complete (construction began in 1431) and while it involved many stone masons from Dalmatia and Italy, history remembers only the best known among them: Juraj Dalmatinac, inventor of the building technique using stone slabs without other materials.

The entire construction of the cathedral, from foundations to vaults, is of stone, which makes it unique. It is also famous for its external frieze of 74 heads, each a portrait of a real person, a work also executed by Juraj Dalmatinac.

The Starigrad Range was included in the UNESCO list of world heritage in mid 2008. It is the largest and the most fertile plain to be found on the Adriatic islands, as well as being the best preserved cadastre system from the times of antiquity throughout the whole of Europe. In the 4th century BC this plain was divided by straight lines into rectangular plots of 800 x 10 m.â&#x20AC;Żâ&#x20AC;Ż

28 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

Croatia at table Croatian food is often called the cuisine of regions because of its great variety. No matter what you choose, one thing is certain, the food in Croatian restaurants will retain its original taste, because only fresh and naturally grown produce is used and skilful preparation employed. Connoisseurs of countries and gastronomies say that much can be learned about a country through the wealth (or poverty) of its cuisine.

In Croatia, whether your taste is fish, vegetarian or even the national cuisine served in some restaurants, each dish will be appreciated even more accompanied by one of the quality wines of Croatia. Alongside the classic cuisine may we suggest that you savour local specialties in one of the many restaurants you will find in your area – ask any local person to recommend the best of them.

And remember, the World Health Organization has declared the Mediterranean type of diet and food preparation to be the healthiest. That is food (predominantly sea food and vegetables), steamed or grilled, seasoned with herbs and olive oil. In Croatia, health and flavour are synonymous. In this brief exploration of Croatian gastronomy, let’s start with starters. Many will opt for the absolutely delectable

Dalmatian prosciutto – a specially prepared, carefully smoked ham, dried in the salt-saturated sea air. Then there are salt-pickled sardines and cheese from the island of Pag – with a quite specific taste due being cured in olive oil, which many visitors regard as a gastronomic delight and take home as a souvenir. Shell fish and crabs prepared “a la buzara” also make for an excellent starter.

29 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

In the continental part of the country, other delicacies are served: in Slavonia it is kulen; in the area around Zagreb the favourite is štrukli - a dish of home-made pastry filled with cottage cheese. For the main dish why not pick white fish from the Adriatic, or crabs and shell fish rated as top quality even against world competition? Among other dishes we would recommend is Dalmatian pašticada (beef spiked with meaty bacon, cooked in red wine and spices); Zagreb escalope (veal escalope stuffed with ham and cheese, and cooked in batter) or roast turkey with mlinci (thinly rolled pastry, baked on a stove, placed in boiling water, drained and seasoned with roasting gravy). In northern Croatia, game is prepared hunters’ fashion or in cream; in Dalmatia it is roasted or braised in a sauce of olive oil, wine, prosecco, prunes and lemon juice, with rosemary and other aromatic herbs. Although every region has its own specific desserts, their number and variety grows the deeper we go into the continent, where the cuisine merges with those of Austria and Hungary. Strudels of all kinds, savoury and sweet (cheese, apple, sour cherry), gateaux, raised dough cakes, pancakes, fruit, or a variety of cheeses will make a satisfying conclusion to every meal.

31 And good food needs good drink. Standing out among the aperitifs characteristic of this area are rakijas (brandies): plum brandy, herb-seasoned brandy and walnut brandy. The famous, indigenous type of Maraska sour cherry is used to make the liqueur of thesamename; prosecco is made from dried grapes, and the well known, effervescent Bakarska vodica from grapes picked in the sun-soaked vineyards of Bakar. Rich vineyards and the local population’s desire to please both themselves and their guests have resulted in the production of wines of great quality and reputation.

Along the coastline it is red wine that dominates: in Istria, Teran, Merlot, Cabernet; further south – Opolo, Plavac, Dingač, Postup. Of the white wines from along the littoral the best known are Malmsey, Žlahtina, Pošip, Pinot, Kujundžuša, Grk... In continental Croatia the well known wines are Riesling, Graševina, Burgundy, Traminac... It goes without saying that in good restaurants geographic boundaries are erased simply by a wish. One more piece of advice: based on your own particular taste, ask where you should start your gastronomic journey of exploration. And every hospitable restaurateur will do the rest... Bon appetite!

32 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE

Memories album A quick reminder: Croatia is the home of the cravat. This decorative item of attire, a part of everyday business life, is the offspring of the neckerchief worn in the 17th century (according to French encyclopaedias) by Croatian soldiers. And the mechanical pencil, fountain pen, ballpoint pen, with which you write and sign your name every day, were invented by Slavoljub Penkala, a Croat as long ago as 1906.

Either would provide an obvious and original souvenir from Croatia. The same could be said of the replicas of old styles of jewellery specific to individual regions; decorative items based on traditional garments; paintings; hand-made artistic handicrafts made of glass, wood or ceramic. Or why not a richly illustrated book to remind you of a new friendship

A bottle of original, natural brandy, of fine wine, virgin olive oil or even a sachet of lavender from Hvar, also make special souvenirs. But as we all know, the most important keepsakes can never be bought: they are the memories which, we feel sure, make you want to return again. So: until the next time we meet, farewell!

Zagreb, the capital of the Republic of Croatia, is the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s political, economic, commercial, cultural, sports and diplomatic centre. With more than one thousand years of history, this is a city whose architecture, museums, libraries and theatres, reflect history and a tradition of its own within this part of Europe. In the centre is the commercial quarter, with company representation offices, banks and shops, and a range of administrative, political, cultural, scientific, educational and other institutions.

Zagreb is host to numerous international gatherings of all kinds and sizes every year. It is easily accessible through its international airport and rail and road links, and can provide a range of hotels, congress halls and exceptionally attractive historical venues for meeting and receptions. And professional staff with great international experience is readily available to organise and host such events. One only has to glance at a calendar of events for proof that Zagreb, together with its surroundings, is an attractive destination for conventions involving several thousand participants right down to smaller, more intimate gatherings.

Zagreb is a central European city with a quite specific atmosphere and spirit. Its oldest parts, Gradec and Kaptol, are ranked among the most beautiful and best preserved old nuclei in Europe. Old buildings, intimate squares, numerous monuments from years gone by, museums and galleries, all bear witness to a long-standing tradition and the deep roots of civilisation in these parts. An unbeatable appeal when combined

with the many-times-over proven professionalism and hospitality of its renowned inbound industry. Zagreb has many faces â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its morning face, busy and bustling, is quite different from its afternoon and evening faces. These will become obvious as you walk from the hotel to the city centre, to a theatre or to one of numerous restaurants. In a friendly way, Zagreb reveals its secret nooks and crannies, the all-so-different

but always humane faces of this congress city. This is indeed a city tailored to the needs of people, a city that will help you express your business acumen to the full, while allowing you to enjoy life lin a very human dimension. Zagreb plays host to a number of events renowned throughout the world. Like the World Festival of Animated Film; the International Folklore Festival; PIF â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the International Festival of Puppet Theatres;

37 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE ZAGREB

the World Triennial of Small Ceramics… Each of these attracts a large number of artists who, in turn, become the city’s best ambassadors. With its wide ranging opportunities for shopping Zagreb will easily satisfy those contemporary nomads who crave retail therapy. And, tired after a long walk and saturated by new sights and sounds, take a break and pick any one of the establishments from the rich variety of eating

venues. You will be guided by experts in the profession who will offer you truly anything – from national specialties to the finest international cuisine. Travelling outside the city and exploring its surroundings there is again no shortage of sites – from medieval burgs and castles, to thermal spas. In a nutshell, Zagreb is a city with a central European charm whose beauty, combined with practicality will provide services of the highest order

and an opportunity to conduct business successfully while having a pleasant stay. Airport: Zagreb, 17 km from the city centre

CENTRAL CROATIA For many people—usually those in the know –parts of central Croatia are the most romantic of all the Croatian mainland. This is where undulating hills, topped by small churches and surrounded by straightlaced vineyards, sweep down to deep valleys sheltering traditional huts, romantic castles and manor houses. Pilgrims have trodden these paths for centuries, praying at holy sites, bathing in thermal springs. Today, continental Croatia is still the land of the unknown, though different pilgrims are now coming in search of its rich historic, cultural and natural heritage.

They stay in towns like Varaždin, Krapina, Čakovec, Sisak… and others. Readily accessible by a variety of transport, this is indeed an area full of surprises. It still requires a degree of dedication and a love of life the way it used to be, mixed with a pinch of open-minded exploration. A land of romantic myths and fairy tales told round the fire of a country inn.

Each of the areas of central Croatia has its own specific features. Take Hrvatsko Zagorje, a small region in the northwest, close to Zagreb. Despite its size, it boasts as many as fifty castles and manor houses. Some have been restored and opened to visitors, others are still waiting for better days, but all provide a peek into the world of history and legends and offer a rare world of beauty and tranquillity. With such facilities, location and ambience, a congress could choose worse places to meet.

Located in the northwestern part of Croatia, Varaždin is a town of Baroque architecture and music, of art and museums. Its numerous churches have prompted some to call it “little Rome”; others prefer to call it “little Vienna” because of its many prestigious buildings. We, on the other hand, while being aware of the similarities but also of the unique character of Varaždin, opt for the indisputable authenticity of this town. It has always been

the centre of highly developed, quality craftsmanship. Visitors to Varaždin will be particularly delighted with its Stari Grad Castle, today a monument in the highest category. The long history of this charming town is preserved not only in its buildings but also in numerous other precious monuments - all of which, put together, are the reason why it is called a Baroque town. One should pay a visit to the Varaždin cemetery - those who know

about these things claim that it is the most beautiful in Europe. Renowned and interesting in many aspects, Varaždin is best known for its School of Music, which bred many of the Croatian, and some of the world’s, famous musicians. It is on that particular tradition that the Baroque Evenings of Varaždin - concerts that are held every September - came to be. Airport: Zagreb, 103 km

SLAVONIA We all have our own concept of Slavonia, the easternmost area of Croatia. Some remember it for its endless green plains, others for its rich and wonderfully varied folk costumes and its gastronomic delicacies difficult to resist; yet by others for its thermal springs and rich hunting grounds. Many cannot forget the delectable local wines – and the finest testimony to the long-standing vine growing and wine making tradition is the Kutjevo Wine Cellar that dates back to now distant 1232.

Much can be learned about the roots and cultural origins of this area from the famous Vučedol culture, the archaeological finds of which – combined in the symbol of the Dove of Vučedol – take us back to the period of 2150-1850 BC. The same origins can be discerned in the towns and cities of the area, the spiritual and cultural centres of Slavonia: Osijek, Đakovo, Vinkovci, Požega, Vukovar, Slavnoski Brod…

The secrets of nature and its immeasurable wealth can be seen and enjoyed in Kopački rit, one of the still preserved and therefore very important wetland areas in Europe. Whatever first prompted you to consider Slavonia for your business meeting, at the very first meeting with the venue it will become crystal clear, and then further enhanced by the professionalism, warm welcome and hospitality offered by your hosts which – as experienced world travellers have confirmed – has no equal.

Beli Manastir, located in Slavoniaâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Baranja County, is a historical town which holds a significant number of cultural and historic monuments. Standing out among them is the Baroque parish church of St. Martin dating from the 18th century, which has undergone restoration in the 19th and the 20th centuries. The Orthodox church was built in 1759, and it is from that time that its valuable architectural elements date.

The most interesting to tourists, however, is the Lojmir locality where the remains of the medieval monastery of Pel-MonoĹĄtar still stand. Also very popular with visitors as an excursion site is the belvedere on the 228m hill, as well as the sports and recreational centre and swimming pools in the town itself.

Several interesting festivities take place in the town, the area is noted for its superb gastronomy and, needless to say, the highly appreciated wines of Baranja. Airport: Osijek, 50 km

Situated in the eastern part of Croatia, in Vukovar-Srijem County, Vukovar has, throughout its five thousand year long history, (as testified by numerous archaeological localities), been a place where roads intersected and different cultures met. Of particular significance for this area is the Vučedol Culture named after the locality in which it was discovered. It therefore is quite fitting that the symbol of the town is the dove of Vučedol, a ceramic vessel in the

shape of a dove dating from the Neolithic period and discovered in 1938. Today Vukovar holds a very special place in the hearts of Croats as the symbol of suffering endured in the War of Independence, but also the symbol of unvanquished resistance and of peace. The town, which stretches between and alongside the rivers Danube and Vuka, has been an important river port as early as the 18th century. Nowadays the port is getting

busier and the tourist boats are beginning to return. Vukovar boasts a number of cultural and historic monuments and museums which speak of its rich history, either in ancient or much more recent times. Visitors are also drawn by an attractive calendar of events, by the rich and varied cuisine and a superb wine list – all of which can be enjoyed in the town itself and in its surroundings.

ISTRA Istria is Croatia’s largest peninsula and the nearest access to a warm sea for the inhabitants of Central and Eastern Europe. Tiny romantic towns with medieval centres, widely renowned hospitality and natural beauty. That’s the Istrian formula for a successful present and a predictable future in congress tourism. Professional staff know all the right ways to realise the wishes and needs of those planners organising gatherings and meetings, large or small. Its turbulent past has left behind many historical monuments. Touristically, Istria is one of the most developed areas of the Mediterranean, known to many but one that

has never revealed all its secrets. The counterpoint to the dynamic life of coastal settings is the tranquil greenery of the mainland, and the small, acropolis-type towns which combine good organisation with very special venues and experiences, making Istria a still more attractive choice.

The coastal area boasts many tourist centres. One of these is Umag, famed as much for its tourist facilities as for the tennis tournaments staged there. Then there is Poreč entered into the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage; Pula with its magnificent amphitheatre; Rovinj with its lovely architecture and parks; idyllic Novigrad, Medulin and Rabac.

And, of course, the Brijuni archipelago, not only one of the most beautiful national parks, but also fully equipped for business meetings, thus combining business with pleasure. Additional memorable experiences of Istria are the opera and concert performances staged in the Arena in Pula, or in the Basilica of St. Euphrasius in Poreč which has been under UNESCO protection since 1997 as one of the pearls of early Byzantine art. And viewing exhibitions in the open air... it’s almost impossible to list everything that makes Istria such an attractive congress destination

Novigrad 4,000 inhabitants The tourist resort of Novigrad sits on the western shore of Istria, with much historical tradition and great natural beauty. Its Riviera is characterised by an intricately indented, low-lying and friendly shoreline with lovely beaches – be they slabs of stone or loose pebbles.

The old core of Novigrad, whose partially preserved medieval walls are one its most striking features, was built on a tiny islet which was linked to the mainland in the 18th century.

The attraction of the place is amply confirmed by the variety of styles visible in the architectural heritage, left by the numerous foreign administrations and cultures – from the Byzantine through the Frankish, German, Venetian, Napoleonic, AustroHungarian to the Italian.

Poreč 18,000 inhabitants Tourist Board of the City of Poreč Address: Zagrebačka 9 p.p. 50 52440 Poreč Phone: +385 (0)52 45 14 58 Fax: +385 (0)52 45 16 65 E-mail: info@istria-porec.com Web Site: www.istria-porec.com

The beauty of the sea, edged by pine forests, cultural and historical monuments and modern tourist estates, designed for enjoyment and variety, is the magnet that draws an ever-increasing number of visitors to Poreč, one of the major tourist destinations of Croatia. The centre of this small, stone-built town with its precious Romanesque and Gothic architecture never fails to provoke a powerful sense of

the Mediterranean atmosphere. The streets of Poreč still demonstrate the clear plan typical of a Roman Parentium, and the once famous Decumanus has remained its main artery. The Basilica of St. Euphrasius, dating from the 6th century, one of the treasures registered on the UNESCO list of world heritage, is the best preserved monument from the early Byzantine period. A particular feature is the golden Byzantine mosaic in the

central apse and on the floor. The basilica is a stunning venue for classical music concerts. Thankfully, the integrity and beauty of this little old town has been enhanced by the modern and highly developed tourist facilities and services, producing a successful formula for an active and culturally rich stay during any season of the year.

Istrian Assembly Hall Mentioned for the first time in 1277 as a Gothic Franciscan church, in 1751 it was restyled in the Baroque manner. Also on the same site was a Franciscan monastery,

which was demolished, and the church deconsecrated in 1844. The ground floor was transformed into a wine cellar and the upper level became the premises in which the

Istrian Parliament sat from 1861 until 1918. Today, the Istrian Assembly Hall is the venue for concerts, cultural events and meetings.

Pula 60,000 inhabitants Tourist Board of the City of Pula Address: Forum 3 52100 Pula Phone: +385 (0)52 21 91 97 Fax: +385 (0)52 21 18 55 E-mail: info@istria-pula.com Web Site: www.istria-pula.com

Pula, the largest city in Istria, grew up on the site of a former Illyrian settlement. Pula is best known for its Roman heritage and the location bears visible traces of many periods and rulers. Among the wealth of monuments dating from that period the Arena is undoubtedly of premier importance as one of the best preserved Roman amphitheatres in the world. Reputed to have been built by Emperor Vespasian in the 2nd century AD on the initiative of Cenide, his Pula-born

lady friend, the amphitheatre has a seating capacity of 23,000 spectators divided into 3 tiers, each with 72 arcades. The exciting permeation of the past and the present found in the streets of Pula is demonstrated by numerous monuments, among them the Gates of Hercules built in the 1st century BC, the Triumphal Arch of the Sergii dating from 28 BC, the City Hall built at the end of the 13th century on the ruins of Dianaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Temple dating from the times

of Antiquity, and many others. Pula has had a turbulent history, frequently at the whim of selfinterested factions, yet today is still the largest town on the Istrian peninsula and its cultural, economic and communication centre. This is what attracts visitors and tourists and its wide range of facilities, services and opportunities have been tailored to suit their demands and tastes.

Rovinj is an exquisitely picturesque medieval little town of densely packed and steep streets and small squares full of special charm. It is located on the western coast of Istria, where nature has been more than generous with its gifts. The town was established in the 3rd century on a tiny island and a full 1500 years went by before it was joined to the mainland.

From the Middle Ages to the mid-19th century, Rovinj was the largest town in the whole of western Istria. The symbol and chief characteristic that sets it apart is the church of St. Euphemia, the largest Baroque building in Istria â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its 60 metre-tall bell tower dominates the skyline.

The ancient beauty of Rovinj, combined with modern-day tourist facilities of great variety tailored to the tastes of highly selective guests, have transformed this small Istrian town into one of the most attractive tourist destinations, not just for tourists but also for the business community.

Savudrija, readily identified by its lighthouse, is the westernmost point of Croatia. Its long tourist history is in evidence by the numerous summer residences by the sea. Archaeological finds indicate that the area has been inhabited since the times of Antiquity and although the first mention of the name of Savudrija dates from the 12th century, the local church of St. John the Apostle originates from the 11th century.

Other cultural monuments include the 13th century church of St. Lawrence in the village of Val Fontana, the 18th century church of St. Jerome in Valica, and a 17th century homestead complex in the Baroque style. Because of its special microclimatic conditions, this area has particularly lush Mediterranean vegetation, replete with plants beneficial to health.

The Savudrija lighthouse, built in 1818 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which makes it the oldest in the Adriatic - is a tourist attraction but also somewhere for a quite special holiday. Airport: Pula, 95 km Trieste, 50 km

Regarded as an elegant summer resort as early as Roman times, the small town of Umag, situated on the north-west coast of Istria, has perpetuated its tourist tradition by constantly expanding and improving. A small town with a medieval centre and narrow, winding streets that always lead you to an interesting square, is has firmly incorporated its past into its present. Still standing are sections of the defensive

walls dating from the Middle Ages which were further strengthened by towers in the 14th century. The Baroque parish church of St. Pelegrine the Martyr, built in the 12th century, is worth a visit particularly for its 15th century wooden Gothic polyptich or altar panel. Another Baroque church, the parish church of St. Mary, dates from the 18th century, and inside is a beautifully carved and painted wooden altar.

Present-day Umag stands as a synonym for tourism and sport. Its best known sports feature, located only three km from the town, is the tennis complex forming part of the Stella Maris tourist estate, the traditional venue for the ‘Croatia Open’ ATP Tournament, the International Championship of Croatia.

Vrsar is a fishing village and tourist resort on the western coast of Istria, built on a hill rising from the shore facing a string of 18 islets. Traces of life in this area stretch back to prehistoric times. In the cave of St. Romuald, located above the Lim channel, remnants of a Palaeolithic culture were found. The first known inhabitants of this part of the Istrian peninsula were the Histri who were engaged in the maritime trade, among other things.

Vrsar has maintained its appearance as a fishing village and attracts attention with its cultural and historic monuments, its idyllic atmosphere and its preserved structure. Airport: Pula, 45 km

Tourist Board of the County of Primorje - Gorski Kotar Address: N. Tesle 2, p.p. 52 51410 Opatija, Croatia Phone: +385 (0)51 27 29 88 Fax: +385 (0)51 27 29 09 E-mail: kvarner@kvarner.hr Web Site: www.kvarner.hr

KVARNER Opatija is synonymous with congress tourism. There are few places where one can, in such a small area as the Kvarner, find such an amazing variety of natural features. The gentle, littoral landscape stands almost shoulder to shoulder with the forested and mountainous area of Gorski kotar. Thus the Mediterranean climate and way of life is thrown into stark contrast with the harsh and demanding mountain existence.

Opatija is a fashionable tourist centre with a 150-year tradition, a world so different from the uncomplicated rhythm of life prevailing on the islands. It allows you to spend your mornings enjoying the sea, and your afternoons breathing in the invigorating mountain air. Kvarner is where those seeking the glitter of trendy resorts find what they are looking for. Opatija, for instance, abounds with stories of hosting prominent and famous people who left their mark on history and on art, having travelled from life into a legend.

Kvarner is the cradle of Croatian literacy, the European oasis of the griffon vulture, ancient home of the delectable Pag cheese and the exquisite lace of Pag… alongside many other features and customs that set the area apart. At the same time meeting planners will recognise the framework that makes business gatherings against such backgrounds truly memorable. Famous Opatija and its Riviera are surrounded by a number of picturesque tourist destinations such as the towns of Crikvenica, Novi Vinodolski, Rijeka, as well as the tourist centres on the islands of Krk, Rab, Lošinj, Cres, Pag…

The long-standing tradition of tourism, its geographic location, well appointed hotels and professional staff have ensured that this area has a clear right to be shown on the congress map of Croatia and this part of Europe.

The island of Krk Krk, the largest of all the Croatian islands, had great natural wealth, which is why the Romans named it the Golden Island. Others, more impressed by the colour of its vegetation, called it the Green Island. Krk is an island and yet it is not. It is separated from the mainland by the sea, but is also linked to the mainland by a bridge. Journeying through this island is like travelling back in history for thousands of years.

In every direction, from the picturesque Vrbnik, built on steep, 49 m high rocks, where the Glagolitic alphabetical tradition was nurtured, to the Jurandvor where that monument to Croatian literacy, the Plaque of Baška, was found in the church of St. Lucia, the ancient culture is inescapable. Nearby, the islet of Košljun is famous for its Franciscan monastery, but also its long-standing gymnasium,

rich library, museums, collections and rare objects. Unmissable, too, are Malinska, a very popular tourist resort, the historic town Baška, renowned for its lovely beaches, and Punat, favoured by boaters and sailors. The island has an airport capable of handling smaller aircraft.

Baška 1,600 inhabitants Tourist Board of the Municipality of Baška Address: Kralja Zvonimira 14 51500 Krk Phone: +385 (0)51 85 68 17 Fax: +385 (0)51 85 65 44 E-mail: infoffice@tz-baska.hr Web site: www.tz-baska.hr

Baška is the best known tourist resort on the island of Krk. Thirty pebbly beaches, suitable for all ages and accessible either on foot or by boat, make it highly popular. The largest and most beautiful is the 1.8 km long Vela plaža, or Great Beach as some would say, located in the very centre of Baška. Hotels and alternative accommodation facilities, catering establishments and other services are in the immediate vicinity.

Baška, though, is not all about today. Among its numerous cultural and historic monuments, pride of place belongs to the Plaque of Baška, one of the national monuments of culture for the Croatian people. It represents a Glagolitic inscription, a document carved in 13 lines which speaks of the deed of gift presented by the Croatian King Zvonimir (1075-1089) to the church of St. Lucia in Jurandvor, where the plaque

was discovered. Petar Dorčić, the local priest, found it being used as a paving slab for the church floor in 1851. Airport: Rijeka, 45 km (the island of Krk)

The city of Krk is the centre of the island from which it takes its name, and is its largest urban settlement. Like the rest of the island, it boasts a deep cultural and historic heritage: monumental city walls with four gates to the old town, the Frankopan citadel and court house in Kamplin square, the church of St. Francis dating from 1227 with Franciscan monastery and the iconic Krk cathedral,

first built in the 5th century as an early-Christian basilica on the site of the Roman thermae, and added to in a variety of styles over the years. Today, the cathedral complex also includes the church of St. Quirinus, the patron saint of the city of Krk, which houses the museum of sacral art, and the bell tower common to them both, the dominant feature of the city. Krk is famous for the wide range of tourist activities

and services it offers, as well as for a large number of interesting events and festivals. Airport: Rijeka, 23 km (the island of Krk)

Malinska is a tourist resort of long standing tradition located along the north-western shore of the island of Krk, in a spacious bay, a 15 km drive from the Krk bridge. The history of the place goes way back, as its sacral monuments testify. Significant among them is the church of St. Mary Magdalen in Porto which, the Frankopan family presented to the Glagolitic priests in the 15th century, who then built a monastery adjacent to it.

Today the monastery houses a museum of sacred objects and valuable exhibits of the life and customs of the area. The 19th century parish church of St. Apollinaris in BogoviÄ&#x2021;i, built on the site where a chapel once stood, is also worth a visit. Airport: Rijeka, 15 km (the island of Krk)

127 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE KVARNER THE ISLAND OF LOŠINJ

The island of Lošinj The island of Lošinj forms part of the Cres – Lošinj island group, which constitutes the western segment of the Bay of Kvarner. The climate of Lošinj is very mild due to, among other things, its forests. Combined with its other attractive features it was therefore an ideal spot in which to develop a health resort. Down the years, many of Europe’s royal personages came here in a quest for health and vitality, among them the Austrian Emperor Franz

Joseph, Prince Rudolph, and the Austrian heir apparent, Franz Ferdinand. This means that the building of summer residences began here as early as the 19th century. There are today also many reminders of the island’s rich maritime past, including weird and wonderful examples of flora introduced from far-off lands, museums of sailing vessels in Mali and Veli Lošinj, and opulent island houses bedecked with souvenirs of distant journeys.

The oldest and most attractive tourist destination on Lošinj is Čikat. There, modern hotels are shaded by hundred-year-old pines, and in addition there are villas which seem to have been transplanted from Monte Carlo, having been built on classical lines by the last representatives of European aristocracy.

Mali Lošinj 8,000 inhabitants Mali Lošinj is a small port and a tourist resort on the island of Lošinj. First mentioned in the 14th century, it sits at the most protected end of a bay. Favourable climatic conditions, construction of hotels and summer residences, managed woodland and the organisation of beaches all contributed to the development of tourism.

The town and the island are rich in Mediterranean vegetation. Mali Lošinj is a venue for numerous cultural, sports and entertainment events. Airport: Rijeka, 15 km (the island of Krk)

In the year 2008 it celebrated 120 years of organised tourism. It is a town redolent of typical Mediterranean seaside architecture. There are a significant number of historic

monuments such as the walls of the Roman fortification of Lopsica, the remnants of the monastery of the Pauline friars, the Frankopan castle with a citadel, several small churches and others. One of the most outstanding cultural monuments which is also one of the most important documents in medieval Europe, is the Vinodol Code dating from 1288 which also originates

from this area. For most people, it is the wonder of nature, preserved environment and developed tourist industry which make the town and the whole Riviera interesting. Airport: Rijeka, 25 km (the island of Krk)

Opatija 13,000 inhabitants It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take long for a small fishing village with a Benedictine Abbey, after which the town was named (opatija means abbey), and the tiny church of St. Jacob first mentioned as early as 1449, to grow into a well-known tourist destination. In 1884 the Kvarner hotel opened its doors, in 1885 came the Kronprinzessin Stephanie (today, the Imperial Hotel) then the Quissiassana (now the Opatija Hotel). Then the park was designed and

the coastal and the forest promenades built. Renowned for its mild climate, pleasant for a year-round stay, Opatija began its climb towards the top and, in 1907, among the 243 health resorts within the Austrian part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was second only to Karlovy Vary, in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Czech Republic. Visitors will be delighted by the sumptuous beauty of buildings, by parks providing home to plants from all over the world. Some will remember it for the

unique, 12 km-long promenade along the shoreline. Opatija is indeed a destination for all seasons where, alongside the old, visitors can find new hotels, marinas and congress centres. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a town which is building its present but also its future on its successful congress past. Airport: Rijeka, 44 km (the island of Krk); Zagreb, 200 km

The third largest city in Croatia, Rijeka is not only the large communication, economic and cultural centre of the whole of Kvarner, but also an attractive tourist destination. It also is the biggest Croatian port and the nearest exit to the sea for Central Europe. Rijeka is a big and bustling town living in tune with the dynamics and energy of the economy which combines in a quite special manner with a specific Mediterranean ambiance.

Rijeka is also a city of Baroque and Neo-classicist palatial houses, of art galleries and museums. One of the sites which identifies the city is undoubtedly Trsat, a fortified burg once belonging to the Croatian Frankopan princes. This medieval fortified town (dating from the 13th century) underwent alterations in the 17th century, and in 1826 it was renovated in Romanesque style. In 1960 it was adapted

for tourist purposes. From here, one can enjoy a stunning view of the entire Bay of Kvarner. Trsat, which is reached by the longest staircase in the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 538 steps, is the final resting place of the Frankopans, as well as being a shrine visited by thousands of people every year.

LIKA - KARLOVAC Lagging behind the main thrust of development, Lika in central Croatia, is a region of rugged beauty and truly untouched nature. Within its boundaries there are places which have rarely, if ever, felt the intervention of man. But man has tamed its rivers for rafting and canoeing, prepared and laid down interesting cycle tracks and introduced thoughtful skiing facilities.

Strange then, in the midst of virgin forest, that the memory of inventor, electrical engineer and physicist, Nikola Tesla should be kept alive in a Memorial Centre in the small village of Smiljani, not far from the town of Gospić. Admirers travel from all over the world to visit the centre as well as the Musuem of Lika. Tesla’s inventions changed the world for ever and Lika’s environment is conducive to equally great discoveries. Another town full of history and heritage is Karlovac, the town of four rivers as it is known locally, with its old fortress of Dubovac. Similar settlements in the same district include Ozalj, Ribnik and Bosiljevo, as well

as a number of architecturally historic monuments. Lika is where the Mediterranean and the mountains meet, an environment that has it all, where incentive events and team building programmes are naturally interwoven with folklore and legend. It may automatically suggest activity groups, but the region also offers interesting and stimulating venues for business meetings and other gatherings.

It would no exaggeration to say that Lika and the Highlands are synonymous with the Plitvice lakes, which many see as the most beautiful national park in Croatia. But the Northern Velebit National Park, with its wealth of karstic phenomena and its rich flora and fauna, is a very worthy contender in the world contest of natural beauty.

The Plitvice Lakes are a very popular tourist destination, due primarily to the beauty of the sixteen lakes, but also because of a good climate, exceptional nature and quality hotel and catering services. In 1949 the Plitvice Lakes were declared a national park because of their exquisite beauty, and three decades later this unique area was entered into the UNESCO list of world natural heritage. The total area of the park, covering almost 200 sq km,

is one hundred times larger that the area of the lakes alone. Thick forests of beech, fir, spruce and Scots pine abound. One of the most attractive sites in this landscape of forests is ﾄ経rkova uvala, where giant fir trees and spruces reach up to 50 metres. Airport: Zagreb, 160 km

DALMATIA ZADAR REGION Taken separately, the three elements of craggy coastline, soaring mountains and lush, fertile valleys which typify Zadar are individually tempting, and together provide an irresistible magnet for those seeking pleasure while doing business. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what the Zadar region has to offer.

Located in the centre of the Croatian coast, it is one of the most diverse regions of the country, with its heavily indented shoreline and imposing Velebit mountain chain running down to the green pastures of Ravni. The region also includes Lake Vrana, the largest lake of the Adriatic islands, situated on the nearby island of Cres with a surface area of 5.7 sq km.

The Zadar region boasts up to 300 such islands and rocky projections, only 17 of them inhabited. Civilised life here can be traced back some three thousand years, with the stamp of ancient personalities clearly visible in the streets and squares of towns like Zadar. It is because of its cultural and historic monuments like churches and other places, festivals and similar folklore events, that make this Mediterranean town so interesting, beautiful and different.

And then there is its proximity to the Paklenica National Park and the Kornati Archipealago National Park and, well within striking distance, the Plitvice Lakes, the River Krka Waterfalls and the Northern Velebit. There are also a number of nature parks and the canyons of the rivers Zrmanja and Krupa to churn up white waters especially attractive to those eager to partake in organised adrenalin sports.

The historical stone-built, wall-girdled Zadar, located on a small peninsula, lives a full life to the rhythm of today. It has that peculiar harmony of traditional values and contemporary way of life. Zadar is known to have existed in the 9th century as a settlement of the Illyrian tribe of Liburnians; then it became a Roman colony; then fell under the yoke of the Byzantine Empire. Its most striking feature is the

monumental 9th-century pre-Romanesque church of St. Donatus. The Romanesque period has endowed this city with one of the most beautiful cathedrals in Croatia, that of St. Anastasia, dating from the 13th century. Also worth seeing are the Benedictine monastery with St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s church, and the church of St. Simeon. The stone-paved streets of Zadar record century upon century of history, and yet it maintains the dynamics

of a modern urban centre that continues to attract visitors with its everimproving and expanding services and facilities. Airport: Zadar, 10 km from the city centre

DALMATIA ŠIBENIK REGION If you imagine a park to be a carefully tended area of grass, dotted with flower beds and an ornamental lake, think again. The Šibenik region of Dalmatia has two of them, 50km apart, totally different. The Kornati is a coastal park, an archipelago comprising 147 islands, islets, rocks, reefs and sheer cliffs of rugged beauty dotting a sea that offers ideal, if challenging, sailing conditions. Add the ability to organise quality business gatherings against a background of reallife incentive opportunities and you are getting close. The result is an indelibly memorable experience.

The Krka National Park, on the other hand, lies inland and covers the course of the River Krka with its weird travertine barriers and natural waterfalls forming silky lakes of breathless beauty. It is almost impossible to refrain from reaching for a camera. These two quite opposite salt and fresh water landscapes characterise the extremes found in this extraordinary slice of the earth’s crust. Stay awhile and the old folk and their ways of life, customs and hospitality, will become increasingly familiar.

Šibenik, Primošten, Vodice – these three are the most prominent of the developed tourist resorts. Some are bigger, some smaller, but in this area all are well known to those who enjoy beautiful nature – coastal or pastoral.

You may not have visited Primošten, but you have probably seen it. A painting of its vineyards, a veritable hymn to human effort and hard work, hangs within the United Nations building in New York. Primošten was founded in the 16th century by those who, escaping the Turkish onslaught, withdrew to what used to be a small island, subsequently joined to the mainland by a causeway, thereby giving Primošten the

appearance it has today. The place and its surroundings are more attractive because of the intricately indented coastline and the mellow hills covered by a whole plantation of vineyards. Well appointed hotels have also enabled this charming little town to prove itself as an attractive and successful host to small and not-so-small gatherings. Airport: Split, 22 km

To Croats, it’s their oldest city. To architects, an urban centre with the largest Renaissance monument built in a style unique in the world. Šibenik has many faces and its visitors many reasons to remember it. The town was founded during the reign of the Croatian national rulers, and although it was first mentioned in the 11th century, there are indications that its existence reaches much deeper into history. We all have

our own personal experiences of a town, but Šibenik is undoubtedly remembered first and foremost for its cathedral of St. Jacob, the most magnificent architectural monument in this part of the world. Now under the protection of UNESCO, the entire structure, from its foundations to its ceiling, is comprised of stone, makeng it the only one of its kind in the world. Šibenik is also known for its

Children’s Festival, which attracts children’s theatres from all over the world, supported by many parallel events dedicated to the creative efforts of children. Airport: Split, 55 km Zadar, 70 km

The tourist resort of Baška Voda is a place of typical Dalmatian architecture. The churches of St. Lawrence and St. Nicholas the Traveller date from 1750 and 1889 respectively, but the traces of life in the centre of the Makarska Riviera reach back over three thousand years. It is hardly surprising, therefore, that the town is as wellknown for its archaeological treasures as well as its remarkable sea food. Once a settlement of farmers, fishermen, merchants

and mariners, Baška Voda today is a modern tourist centre offering many facilities and services within the atmosphere of a small Mediterranean town. Airport: Split, 75 km

Brela is one of the most beautiful and best developed tourist resorts of the Makarska Riviera due to its natural beauty and its tourist services. Warm summers are refreshed by a landward breeze, while winter temperatures drop lower due to the strong northeasrt wind. Dense pine woods, wide pebble beaches and natural springs are the trade mark of Brela, as are its quality hotels which, in addition to catering for classic tourists, also play

host to congress delegates. According to surveys carried out by reputable tour operators the quality of services provided by the local hotels has earned them top marks from guests. Airport: Split, 47 km

The Island of Brač Sitting exactly opposite Split is the island of Brač, the third largest island in the Adriatic. Belessed by natural beauty, with sandy and pebble beaches extending for kilometres, Brač is also an island of picturesque town and villages, of modern tourist estates, and the venue of the Ladies Open Tennis Tournament.

But that is not all. It is significant for some quite specific features, such as the rock-bound ‘desert’ of Blaca, a hermits’ settlement in the south of the island, and its most distinct architectural entity which today houses cultural wealth of exceptional value: Glagolitic missals and collections of 18th-century paintings and sacred objects. Another of the interesting sites on Brač is Drahonjina špilja – a cave in which stone

reliefs of superb artistic value have discovered. However, one of the most readily identifiable features of Rab is undoubtedly the beach known as Zlatni rat, in Bol, a strip of sand constantly shifting and reforming by the force of the winds. Because of its beauty, it is one of the symbols of Croatian tourism.

In addition to Bol, Brač has a number of other resorts, such as Postire, Milna, Supetar, all of them with well developed tourist amenities and also capable of dealing with the demands of congress guests.

The small town of Bol is situated on the southern side of the island of the same name, in the foothills of Mount Vid. In addition to a number of interesting historical monuments, the area is renowned for its lovely nature and has become a most popular tourist destination. Of all its beaches certainly the best known is Zlatni rat â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a strip of fine pebbles that moves this way and that,

depending on the direction of the wind and the waves. Airport: BraÄ?, 15 km (open during the tourist season) Split, 25 km (+1.5 hour ferry journey)

The island of Hvar Hvar is the fragrant island of lavender, olive groves and vineyards. This island of many springs, surrounded by a cobalt blue sea, it is often a record holder in the number of sun hours per year.

Over 140 years of tourist tradition, with a rich heritage of monuments and natural beauties, combined with the wide ranging services, have made it highly regarded by tourists. According to a survey carried out by a reputable foreign journal, it is one of the ten most beautiful islands in the world.

Much has already been said about the historical significance of the town of Hvar. For instance, this is where the oldest European relief of a ship was found, and where, in 1612, one of the oldest communal theatres was founded. But far more captivating is its beauty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; its lovely stone buildings, its Renaissance cathedral and bell tower, the Ducal Palace with its monumental loggia, and the houses of its ordinary citizens,

whose harmony has remained unviolated by the demands of modern life. This town is a popular tourist destination both for its charm and beauty as well as for its dynamic programme of cultural events. Airport: Split, 25 km (+1.5 hour ferry journey)

The Makarska Riviera is typified by its narrow coastal belt of pine and olive trees, extending down from the forbidding and barren Biokovo Mountain, surrounding tiny Mediterranean-type towns, matchless pebbled beaches and the clean seas of the Adriatic. Situated between two capes, Makarska cannot fail to win hearts with its harmony and charm. A walk down to the waterfront through narrow stone-paved streets, takes you

past the 18th-century church, and the Franciscan complex dating from the 14th century which houses the old library, the archives and an art collection. Many will be fascinated by the Malacological Museum with a unique collection of shells and molluscs from the Adriatic and other seas around the world. It is regarded as one of the most beautiful and richest of its kind.

The Makarska Riviera boasts a number of other, very beautiful and popular tourist resorts, such as Brela, BaĹĄka Voda and TuÄ?epi. Airport: Split, 70 km

Split 190,000 inhabitants Split occupies the central portion of Croatia extending from the islands, along the coastline and into the hinterland. Outstanding among its historical sites is undoubtedly Diocletianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Palace, unreservedly included in the UNESCO List of world heritage. There is no other imperial residence from the period of Antiquity that has managed to preserve so many of its original features. Also on that list is the old nucleus

of the city of Trogir. More recently they have been joined by the Starigrad Range on the island of Hvar and, deservedly, Salonae, now a suburb of Split, which was the centre of the Roman province of Dalmatia until the role was assumed by Split, in the Middle Ages. The region is full of fascinating stories and traditional festivities like the tilting tourney of Alka in Sinj and cultural events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; music, drama and dance - all combining under the common name of

Summer in Split. The area encapsulates a combination of the best features of the Mediterranean landscape, ambiance and quality of life. And set in a warp where the passage of time has in many ways significantly slowed, if not stopped altogether. Inland there are the thrills of white water on the River Cetina, or for those less active, to experience the old way of life through local traditional dishes and wines. In Trogir or Split, particularly

the picturesque Brela and the entire Riviera of Makarska, or perhaps the lovely islands of Vis, Hvar or BraÄ? steeped in tradition, it is possible to find business attitudes behind tourist insignia. Certainly, once tried, it is never forgotten for its natural surroundings and peace of mind. Aairport: Split, 25 km from the city centre

DALMATIA DUBROVNIK REGION It is beyond question that Dubrovnik and its rival across the bay, the town of Cavtat, are known internationally for successful events and conferences staged there. Most visitors will appreciate the region, the southernmost part of the country, as a land of natural phenomena, intoxicating fragrances, vivid colours and delicious flavours. The combination has been bringing wise tourists for decades and residents have responded by meeting the needs and wishes of every guest.

Among the sights to be seen, two rank above the rest. Already ‘officially recognised’ by UNESCO in its list of world heritage, the historic nucleus of the City of Dubrovnik is a worthy inclusion; as is the Mljet National Park. This woodland occupies the western end of the island of Mljet that is also covered with an exceptional wealth of aromatic plants.

Within a relatively small area, several places are worth exploring. In addition to the before mentioned Cavtat, the small historic towns of Ston and Mali Ston, the island of Lastovo, the Elafiti archipelago, the Pelješac Peninsula, the island of Korčula; all offer attractive and developed centres. But even away from the coast, discerning travellers have found that the lower course of the Neretva River is just as interesting and rewarding. There are several facilities which are looking to better days but others can be seriously considered as conference venues and there are countless facilities for highly imaginative incentive trips.

Cavtat, the southernmost town, still within easy reach of Dubrovnik, was first an Illyrian settlement, then a Greek colony, the Roman Epidaurum, was destroyed by the Avars in the 6th century and then brought back to life in the Middle Ages. The majority of its buildings – among them the Franciscan monastery with a Renaissance cloister, the church and town fortifications – date from the 15th century, while the Baroque parish church from some 300

years later. When you visit Cavtat we recommend a visit to the Ducal Palace (16th century) which houses a collection of stone monuments, the archives a collection of graphics and a library that once belonged to Baltazar Bogišić, a writer of legal texts. On the top of the hill is the mausoleum of the Račić family, a work by the famous Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrovic, as well as his workshop – now a museum for the works of Vlaho Bukovac,

the Cavtat-born painter. Cavtat is a destination well known to tourists, but it has made a special name for itself as an excellent venue for business meetings, congresses and other types of gatherings, both formal and informal. Airport: Dubrovnik, 8 km

Dubrovnik 44,000 inhabitants To many, Dubrovnik is the synonym for Croatia, the city on the UNESCO list of world heritage which is rarely missed by those who travel to this country seeking true beauty. Dubrovnik is a medieval town unique not only within the confines of the Adriatic. There, every street, every stone in the walls that encircle it, has a story to tell. Although there are traces of habitation dating back to prehistoric times, it is believed that Dubrovnik, as we

know it, was founded in the 7th century, following the fall of Epidaurum (today’s Cavtat) whose inhabitants took refuge in Ragusium, today’s Dubrovnik. For five centuries Dubrovnik was under the administrative sway of the Byzantine Empire. Its glorious days of independence as the famous Republic of Dubrovnik lasted from 1358 to 1808. Alongside Venice, Dubrovnik was the only city state in the Adriatic. Standing on the massive walls

that embrace the entire city, a tourist attraction of prime importance accessible to visitors along their full length, one can enjoy a truly singular view of the town. Each house in the Old Town is a historical monument which is why it is possible to mention only a few – the main street, known as Stradun, the Sponza Palace, the Pillar of Orlando, the Ducal Palace, the Baroque church of St. Blasius – patron saint of Dubrovnik. But there are also

many other prominent buildings that bear witness to the city’s glorious past, while at the same time presenting the credentials of this exceptional city as a highly regarded congress venue. Airport: Dubrovnik, 18 km from the city centre

Marin Držić Theatre Named after the famous Dubrovnik-born comedy writer of the Renaissance period (born in Dubrovnik in 1508, died in Venice in 1567), the Marin Držić Theatre is housed in a building dating from 1865. It has been active as a

professional theatre since 1944. The painted ceiling of this theatre is the work of Vlaho Bukovac (Cavtat 1855 – Prague 1922), who painted it in 1901. The theme he chose is the dual coronation – Coronation on Heaven

Capacities

and Earth. The ceremonial curtain of the theatre, bearing the motifs of the city of Dubrovnik, was painted in 1986 by the contemporary artist Franko Delale, when the building was completely renovated.

259 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE DALMATIA DUBROVNIK REGION THE ISLAND OF KORČULA

The island of Korčula However true it may be that one place will always differ from another, and an island will always be different from another island, there can be no doubt that the island of Korčula has a very special role. The island abounds with legends, stories and monuments. For instance, did you know that Marco Polo was born on Korčula? Or that the city of Korčula was founded, as was the Italian city of Padua, in the 12 century BC by Antenor,

one of the elders of Troy? History recorded in the works of Greek and Roman writers indicates that Black Korčula – Korkyra Melania – was founded by Greek colonists in the 4th century BC. The island was named after its dense, dark green - almost black - forests of pine. Apart from Lokrum and Mljet, Korčula is the most densely forested Croatian island. The inhabitants of Korčula were a skilled people and much

sought-after stone masons, ship builders and mariners. They proved their sculpting and building skills throughout Dalmatia, but created their best works on their own island, in their own city. That is one of the reasons why this lovely island and its tourist resorts – the largest among them being the city of Korčula, and Vela Luka, Blato and Lumbarda – are attractive whatever the season.

Korčula is a veritable monument-city whose squares, streets and museums are like a journey back in time. Located in the old part of town is St. Mark’s Cathedral, a precious building, parts of which date from the 15th century. Korčula offers a wider range of accommodation, catering, sports and recreation facilities. Within the cultural and entertainment programme on offer one event is particularly interesting – the Moreška

– a dramatized sword dance that also dates from the 15th century. Airport: Dubrovnik, 130 km (+30 minutes ferry journey)

265 THE CROATIAN CONVENTION CATALOGUE DALMATIA DUBROVNIK REGION THE ISLAND OF MLJET

The island of Mljet Homer celebrated Mljet in verse. Many people claim this is the island the Greek poet had in mind when describing the enchanted island of Ogygia, Odysseus and the goddess Calypso. The legend also tells us that it was here that Odysseus stayed over during his wanderings through the Mediterranean. It is not immplausible, since Mljet does indeed seem like a magical island and its praises have been sung by so many writers, poets and historians from the earliest times down to this day. The western part of the island, some 31 sq km in area, was declared a national park in 1960 because of its exceptional and specifically indented coastline and lush vegetation, its wealth of woodlands and valuable cultural heritage. Here, the vegetation is always green. There is always something blooming, spreading an enchanting fragrance. Among the abundant animal

world, both on land and in the sea, one creature deserves special mention – the rare Mediterranean monk seal. One of the features of the heavily indented nature of this island is where the sea has penetrated deep into the body of the island through a barely visible strait, creating first a Veliko jezero (Large Lake) and then, through an even narrower strait, Malo jezero (Small Lake). Two lakes of seawater enclosed within an island! Sitting on the south-western side of the Large Lake in Pračarica cove is the tiny islet of St. Mary upon which rises a 12th-century Benedictine monastery - which has been converted into a hotel. Today, this tiny oasis is a place of rest and recuperation, as it was in the past - set amid the peace of the woods and stillness of the lakes – for monks and scientists, writers and poets who created some of the major works of Croatia’s literary heritage here.

Pomena, a small village and a tiny port in Pomena Bay on the western coast of Mljet, is today the tourist centre of the island. It offers hotel services, a wide range of sports and recreational facilities and has a lovely promenade leading through an old forest of Aleppo pine, holly oak and macchia.
