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.

If you are looking for an island with a wild, frenzied atmosphere, music playing everywhere you g,o and luxury yachts cruising around the sea in the distance, give this place a miss. Šolta is the exact opposite of all that, which is what makes it so wonderful! A small island lying one hour by boat from Split, Šolta simply invites you to rest, relax and enjoy the simple pleasures in life. The beaches are small and numerous here. And though they are admittedly not fine and sandy, this is more than compensated for by the peace and tranquility of the island itself. When I was wandering my way around Croatia, the day I spent on this island was my favourite day of the entire time I spent in the country. In short, it is the ideal place to come if you want to spend a day simply enjoying your time on holiday. Eat in one of the restaurants near the harbour and afterwards simple lounge on one of the beaches and enjoy the views. Sailing times from Split change with the seasons; so make sure you check the day before so you can plan your visit properly.
