Dalmatia

Rare are the regions that can be as proud of so many natural varieties as Dalmatia County can.

The mountain chain, including one of Croatia’s highest mountain, separate Zagora with its continental characteristics from the Mediterranean beach atmosphere. This region is among the most beautiful in the world.

Here you can find both shallow waters and the open sea, wild rapids and peaceful river beds, the most beautiful Mediterranean islands alongside rough cliffs with endemic species in the middle of the open sea, deep lakes and the still unexplored richness of the underground caves

Geographical richness of Split-Dalmatia County is closely related to the wealth of its gastronomy. On a small area there are facing the contradiction of past time flavor the creative cuisine of today; aroma of pristine nature with two grains of salt, thrown over the hill by the south wind, or the smell of komin (a fireplace) and komaštre (a chain and a hook for hanging cooking pots over the fire on the fireplace) brought by the northern wind.

Without a doubt this can be said of Croatia and its natural, cultural and historic treasures, and it is supported by the fact that so far seven Croatian sites have been included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List, four of which are in Dalmatia County: Diocletian’s Palace and the medieval Split; The historical core of Trogir , Stari Grad Plain on the Island of Hvar, Cathedral of St. James in Šibenik,

Other Croatian sites on UNESCO’s list of protected monuments are, the City of Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes National Park and the early Christian complex of Euphrasian basilica in Poreč.
