Les lacs de Plitvice Vacations

A magnificent series of vegetation-covered islands, the archipelago lying off the west coast of Istria and formed by two large islands, Veliki Brijun and Mail Brijun, and twelve islets was chosen by Marshall Tito as the location of his summer residence and as a place where he could receive and host his visitors, especially the heads of the non-aligned states.

Plitvice and the smaller Krka are parks you must visit in Croatia. You really should put them on your holiday to-do list. Hikers will love the mountain parks as well as the stunning, protected islands.

Beautiful Dubrovnik has kept its battle scars in ex-Yugoslavia. You will learn about the history on a tour of the old town, in the museums and in the beautiful photo gallery.

Today an attractive Slavonian city lying close to the Croatia-Serbia border on the river Danube, Vukovar is unfortunately associated with the war that resulted in Croatia separating from Yugoslavia. The city is slowly recovering from the effects of the 1991 siege, which left its mark on both its people and its walls and buildings. Visiting it today is a particularly moving experience.
