If you're a food lover, be sure to do a car tour of the Buzet region of northern Istria, which lies not far from the Slovenian border.  The area's rolling, verdant landscapes are simply magnificent, and it is considered one of Croatia's main gastronomic regions.

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.

I've been to Zagreb many times and I have to say that the city became more attractive to me the more I visited it. While the capital of Croatia initially seemed cold and less elegant to me than some of its European neighbours like Vienna, Budapest and Belgrade, over time I learned to appreciate its special, no-frills atmosphere. In Zagreb, it can take a while to discover the good bars, restaurants and clubs. They're often lurking in the dark streets and hidden away in courtyards, and you only manage to find them after several stays. What's more, the city is evidently younger and more open than the rest of the country. In a very patriotic Croatia which is still scarred by the wars of the 90s, Zagreb is an exception.
