Trip to Croatia
I'm planning a trip to Croatia by car in June. There'll be quite a lot
of driving involved so I'm looking for a nice quiet place to stay put for a few days on the Dalmation coast. I'm not interested in beaches particularly, nor anywhere with large hotels. Ideally a small town or village with a harbour and enough tourism to support a few places to stay and eat, but no more. Does anyone have any suggestions? Last year we went to the Pelion peninsular in Greece looking for somewhere similar, and found a place called Damouchari which was ideal. -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com |

Trip to Croatia
Try to find browsing www.croatia-tourist.net. There is a map of Croatia and
images of accommodation (and places), detailed description and prices of accommodation in each town. Personally, I reccommend island Hvar - crystal clear water, beautiful old city (city Hvar on island Hvar) living 0-24 with rich night life and the most beautiful beaches (even they doesn't bother you ). Island Hvar is the place with the most sunny days in a year in Croatia. But if you prefer not to travel with ferry, very nice places to stay are Makarska (middle Dalmatia), and places around city of Split. Hope it helps. "Mike Lane" wrote in message dia.com...

I liked Omis - it's on the main coast road so you could leave the car elsewhere and get there by bus if you wanted. Ideal if you fish, as the river is used a lot for that. It's got an old castle, a near- deserted satellite village up the hill, a spectacular setting under the mountains and a pub where the local "klapa" singing group meets regularly. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- e m a i l : j a c k @ c a m p i n . m e . u k Jack Campin, 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU, Scotland mobile 07800 739 557 http://www.campin.me.uk Twitter: JackCampin |

I might try stopping there for a day or two. I was planning to go that way en route to Drvenic to take the ferry to Hvar -- Mike Lane UK North Yorkshire mike_lane at mac dot com |
