Following in the footsteps of Winnetou

Films about the Indian chief Winnetou were made more than 40 years ago, in the area of the national parks of Paklenica, the Plitvice Lakes and Krka, the Velebit Nature reserve and other such places in Croatia following the novels by Karl May.

The beautiful places where those films were made are still well-preserved in all of their beauty and thanks to this, you will be able to start your adventure and follow in the footsteps of Winnetou.
Those who would like to visit the area accompanied by a qualified guide, will have jeep safari tours or bus excursions at their disposal.

Quick tips to Plan your Travel to Croatia from Italy
Ferry Croatia ItalyCroatia has become a very popular tourist destination since the restoration of piece in that area. Traghetti Croazia offers great value for those who plan to visit Croatia by cruise-liners from Italy.

Are you planning to visit Italy this summer? Add Croatia to your itinerary.
After many years of conflict throughout the former Yugoslavia, the area is now enjoying a period of peace and stability and has become a very popular tourist destination indeed. In the last ten years Croatia is emerging as one of Europe's fastest-growing tourist destinations, and it is not surprising really, if we consider what Croatia has to offer to travellers.

There you will find the Mediterranean as it once was, framed in a total coastline of over 6000 km of mild climate nature, beautiful mountains with forests, lakes, rivers and waterfalls, friendly and simple people, inexpensive and convenient

Croatia boasts some of the cleanest and most beautiful beaches in Europe: the Croatian coast is an absolute wonder to behold! The country has a long and colourful history, and this is most evident in the various architectural styles on show in its towns, cities and islands. Some of the country's most beautiful buildings, many of them former churches, have since been renovated into hotels and guesthouses, offering visitors a wonderful opportunity to get a real taste of Croatia.


TRAVELLING TO CROATIA :

Due to the long, narrow shape of the country, much of Croatia's land is situated by the sea. As a result, boat and ferry travel has become an important means of transport to both local people and visiting tourists, and it can be considered a relatively comfortable and enjoyable way of getting around Croatia. There are plenty of ferry services operating in and out of the various ports. Many of these simply run domestic services up and down the coast and across to the beautiful islands dotted around the Adriatic, but a growing number of routes are being established that link Croatia with other countries, with Italy being the best served with a number of good services running daily.

Getting to Croatia from Italy by Ferry, there are a few things you should take into consideration, like the frequency of the Ferry services, booking rules, and places where buy tickets…
Although passenger and car ferries do operate throughout the year, Car ferries to and from Croatia get extremely busy during the summer and it is advisable to book your ticket well in advance. This can be done at the various ticket offices located in travel agencies, but what we strongly recommend is to get in touch with a professional agency, to get all you need in one simple stop.

Trends: Eco-hotels, cruises, Croatia await in '08
From hotels to cruising, adventure travel to destinations, USA TODAY asks travel industry insiders to predict the hottest trends for the new year. Here's what in the air — and on land and sea — for intrepid travelers

Emerging destinations.
Carlson Wagonlit's Eastern European bookings are heating up, and Croatia, in particular, is "on fire," says Loucks, thanks in part to the relative strength of the dollar in European countries that don't use the euro. Similarly, lesser-known Latin American destinations such as Nicaragua, where the dollar still has some clout, are drawing more interest among Americans, some of whom are looking for retirement homes, Frommer says.

First North American Flight direct to Zagreb

This is big news indeed. Skyservice Airlines has just started a direct route from Toronto to Zagreb, the first flight directly from North America to Croatia. The weekly Skyservice flight will leave Toronto every Wednesday at 10.45pm, arriving in Zagreb at 3pm. The return flight leaves Zagreb Thursdays at 7pm arriving in Toronto at 12.34am.

Skyservice has been running charter flights to Zagreb since 2004 but the new regularly scheduled flight has been a big success. The maiden flight was June 20; all went well and we can assume that Canada’s Canadian community was delighted with the news. We can also assume that tickets will sell out pretty soon so book now at Skyservice!

Dalmatian Islands Among World Top Ten
It's now official! We have been saying it for years, but now US magazine "Travel and Leisure" has ranked the Dalmatian Islands at #7 in the World's Top Ten Island Destinations. It didn not feature at all last year and we suspect that it's current ranking, and the no show last year, has more to do with not being completely "on the radar" than it does about the true merits of Dalmatia as an oustanding world class destination. So expect to see it in the top five next year, as it certainly deserves to be there.
