It may not attract as many visitors as the coastal towns of Rijeka or Split or Zadar or Dubrovnik but is well worth a visit. There are many museums in town and at night there are lots of things going on. The Croation coast is among the most beautiful in the world. It has unique cities like Split with its palace of Diocletian or Dubrovnik which was the rival of Venice for centuries; great almost deserted beaches and more than 1001 islands to choose from. Plitvice is Croatia's most famous National Park. It has many lakes and waterfalls and is ideal for hiking or trekking. Don't forget Fazana and the islands of Brioni! Just a little north of Pula....You may not see them on a map...but it was a summer home for Tito ( his choice of all Yugoslavia) and farther back the Caesars during the Roman empire (even farther back; stone age man and before him dinosaurs. You can see footprints in stone!) Think about it...with all of Italy why choose to live here? Thats right! Change history
