Active and Creative Holiday

Ladies and gentlemen, With the amazing diversity of its preserved nature, long and rich tradition and cultural and historic heritage Croatia offers its visitors a wide range of opportunities and an unforgettable experience, which is why it has become one of the most desirable destinations in the Mediterranean. Numerous attractions, facilities and programmes Croatia abounds have been recognized by tourists from all over the world. In order to make the destination called Croatia still more interesting, the Ministry of Tourism has conceived the project Discover Croatia, the aim of which is to encourage the creation of new opportunities, primarily in the touristically underdeveloped areas, so as to ensure that the touristic potential of the land can be realized to its fullness. The project also concentrates on developing a wide palette of different tourist products tailored

to specific interests. Significant contribution to this drive to create innovative and distinctive opportunities is being made by tourist agencies through their activities. The Association of the Croatian travel agencies has the honour to be a part of this project as the link between all the participants. We hope that our future successful cooperation with the Ministry of Tourism of the Republic of Croatia, as well as with the domestic and foreign tourist agencies, will continue with the realization of the aims set by the project, thus contributing to readily identifiable character and quality of Croatian tourist product in the world. Boris Ĺ˝gomba President Association of Croatian travel agencies

Culture, History, Tradition Countless are the riches of the Croatian cultural and historic heritage. Of a long history and traditions, of a very specific geographic position where the East meets the West, Croatia is the land on whose territory different civilizations and cultural circles intermingled. They not only left their trace but through interaction of their own they created new values. In the course of centuries Croatia also found herself on the dividing line between religions, and has played a crucial role in the defence of Europe against the onslaught of the Ottoman Empire. It should therefore not be surprising that a land of such long and turbulent history boasts numerous architectural jewels which have been included into the UNESCO List of world heritage, but also a wealth of tradition and folk customs the value of which has also been recognized in the world. There is practically no period of world history which has not left a significant imprint on the Croatian - from the traces of the Neanderthal man and the artefact of the VuÄ?edol culture to the influence of the ancient Greeks and monuments of the Roman Empire. Croatia abounds with localities that bear witness to the times gone by - be they medieval fortifications, Renaissance summer residences, Baroque churches or towns in the style of the 19th century urban layout or the contemporary buildings of the 21st century that have won awards given by the profession. To sum it up, Croatia will charm you not only with its architecture, its preserved rural tradition, colourful ethnographic motifs and customs but also, and more than anything with its pulsating life which reflects all the elements of cultures stretching from the deepest of history to the present day.

Bon appĂŠtit and cheers! The things that matter cannot be seen only with oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eyes, rather, in order to get to know and experience a country our special attention should be focused on its flavours and aromas.

Control of the seas and the sea routes has always been of vital importance for the people living along the shores and on the islands. Sea routes provided links with the world and were the channels for the exchange of goods and knowledge. However, the ships that made it all possible were often targeted by pirates. You can now sail the pirates’ routes through the Adriatic, and see Dalmatia in a different way. Tour the Tureta fortress on the island of Kornat - once an important point of defence against pirat attacks - and pay a visit to Šibenik which is believed to have grown out of a pirates’ nest used by early Croats. Next, sail to Vis and Hvar, islands whose history has been shaped to a degree by smugglers and pirates, and take a walk around Vrboska and Jelsa which have often been the targets of their attacks. Enjoy a trip to Omiš, the veritable capital of pirates, which will give you an idea of how life used to be and witness the Pirates’ Night – an event which is being organized regularly.

The River Krka, karst beauty of Croatia, from its spring to the mouth on some 75 kilometres has created several of the most significant hydrological and geo-morphological phenomena on the planet. Beginning at the eastern edge of the Knin fields, it enters into the canyon made of seven travertine waterfalls and a few lakes which, in a setting of semi-desert stone landscape of limestone plateau, seems miraculous and unreal. Part Krka’s flow and the area around it have rightfully been proclaimed as a national park. Its upper section near Knin, downstream from the Butišnica River mouth to the bridge at Brljan is also a part of the national park. Organized group visits are possible only by boat. An extremely pleasant experience, easy rafting, full of the excitement of revealing unspoiled nature and the bird world.

Embark on the search for the golden calf, visit the mystic localities where idolatry was practiced, learn the ancient rituals and take part in archaeological excavations of the largest shrine with idols in central Europe. Delve into the secrets of the locality of Turska kosa, a place where sacrifices were offered and magical ritual performed, and which was one of the most important Illyrian shrines. In this locality dedicated to the passage of souls to another world - which the local folk of latter days regarded as cursed - over 500 clay idols were discovered. The old burg of Dubovac was built upon a mystic mound that bears traces of human habitation from the Stone Age to this day. A visit to the Karlovac City Museum, its collection of idols and its prehistoric collection, brings closer the mysticism of the spiritual development of man and makes us wonder, but also provides some answers to the myriad of questions about human existence and spirituality.

Prehistory Told through the Silence of Idols tour of the archaeological locality of Turska kosa, a prehistoric Illyrian shrine; visit to the old town of Dubovac built upon an artificial mound; viewing of the collection of idols and the standing display of prehistory in the Archaeological Museum in Zagreb

We can hardly hope to fathom the spiritual consciousness of the prehistoric man, but we can gain an inkling and try to learn something - in the sphere of beliefs - from the anthropomorphic plastic, or rather idols, as the only medium available to us. Visit the mystic localities where idolatry was practiced or where it is reasonable to assume it was practiced. The archaeological locality of Turska kosa is one of the most important prehistoric Illyrian shrines where over 500 idols made of clay were found, while the old burg of Dubovac was built upon a mystic manmade mound that bears traces of continual human life that go back to the Stone Age. Explore these fascinating places at the edge of the known and hear the stories of the collection of idols in the Karlovac City Museum. Its standing display of prehistory will introduce you to exhibits spanning thousands of years and the spiritual evolution of culture, and make it easier to perceive some of the mysticism of the spiritual development of man.
