The tapered strip that runs south along the Croatian coast of the Adriatic Mediterranean, is named Dalmatia, the sunny balcony of Europe, with ancient cities, atmospheric ruins and a wonderful maze of romantic islands. A ferry travels from the small coastal town of Biograd to Pašman Island, a popular weekend destination for those living on the mainland. The garden island of Pašman is not yet on the tourist trail and thus is a tranquil location where monks still inhabit the ideally situated Benedictine monastery of Sveti Kozma I Damjan. Dugi Otok Island is well known for two natural phenomena: its mile-long and up to a hundred and sixty metre high white coastal cliffs and the Mir Jezero, a salt water lake which is always around six degrees warmer than the sea. The picturesque old city of Trogir is situated on a small island which is connected to the mainland by a bridge and protected by sturdy walls and a fortress. In 380 B.C., Greeks from Issa settled there and founded the fortified city of Tragyrion. Under the Romans it became a thriving commercial port. Today, Split is the Croatian Republic’s second largest city, the financial and cultural centre of Dalmatia, its origin and importance dating back to Roman emperor, Diocletian. Dubrovnik, the historic Pearl Of The Adriatic, is one of the world’s most fascinating harbour cities, a city of stone whose heyday was the Middle Ages when it was one of the most important economic and cultural centres in the Mediterranean.
