| Flying over the coast of Dalmatia |
Croatia is one of Italy's neighbours and yet I waited 25 years before visiting. I had more or less the idea that Croatia offered a lot as in islands, coasts and beaches, as any Mediterranean country. Then I did a bit of internet search, watched photos of friends who had already been there, bought a footprint guide and finally realized I knew nothing about it. Lol.
The national tourist slogan sells Croatia as 'the Mediterraneo as it once was', which is quite promising. And possibly true. We arrived to Zadar by flying over Dalmatia's coast and it was a spectacle to see all those uncountable dazzling islands scattered all along the coast! How many could we count? One, ten, twenty over just a few kilometers? And what did we actually spot? Between deserted sort of atolls and populated green islands, we must have even seen some of the many famous National Parks, such as Koronati, who knows!?
So, briefly, what we are going to do in these few days ahead is to: eat a lot of fish (on the coast), see the attraction #1 of the country (the natural park of Plitvice Lakes), learn a couple of words of Croatian language, or actually Serbo-Croatian, with which one can do quite a lot in the Balkans. Note well: expectations go beyond the words vino (wine) and pivo (bier)!
