Restaurant and hotel in town. The tiny town of Zadar, sheltered behind its city walls, at the edge of the Adriatic, exercises its many charms: tiny cobbled roads, ancient ruins and treasures from the Renaissance await the visitor. Hotel Bastion was built in this historic centre, at the tip of the peninsula, on the remains of a former 13th century Venetian mediaeval fortress. The town’s main monuments are very close by, including the sea organs. This charming hotel offers elegant rooms, a cosy bar, a spa which has retained some of the original fortress walls, and a restaurant with delicious Mediterranean cuisine that can also be served on the terrace, in the shade of large parasols. ...

After discovering the old town of Zadar, why not go to the terrace of a cafe and order the local speciality: Maraschino is liquor (25°) made from sour cherries which have already been referred to by Balzac in his novel called A start in life (1842).
There are nearly 300 islands scattered along the Zadar coastline! Only a dozen of them are inhabited. You will see steep cliffs, olive trees and salt marshes: there is a new horizon each time you change direction. In the evening you can dock in Dugi Otok, or the "Long Island", which has preserved its...

It is a cheese that is unlike any other: the Pag Island cheese is both very salty and strong in flavour. The wind deposits sea salt on the island's vegetation, making both the meat and milk of the sheep slightly salty. The milk is collected in May of each year. The unpasteurised cheese is rubbed...

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront. People say that the Silk Road started from this island; Korčula has good reason to be proud to be home to Marco Polo's house, a stone’s throw from Lešić Dimitri Palace. The building's history dates back to the 17th century, when the Lešić family, rich property owners and merchants combined a number of semi-detached houses to create a palace worthy of that name. It has been meticulously renovated yet with a touch of contemporary design; its historical character and original layout have been retained and it now offers a small number of independent suites. Each evokes a step in Marco Polo's journey towards China, in a harmonious décor, with top-quality materials. ... Learn moreless

Hotel and restaurant on the seafront. While travelling through the region on a humanitarian mission in 2001, philanthropists Lee and Penny Anderson found their way to the Croatian city of Orebić. It was love at first sight — a place where they could bring together both their passion for wine and their admiration for exquisite Dalmatian hospitality. Standing proudly like an oppidum atop a hill, Villa Korta Katarina rises above the Adriatic and surrounding vineyards with undeniable majesty. Its rooms and suites, each boasting sea views, offer modernity in a setting of classical elegance. With a soothing palette of pale blue, grey, white and cream, their decor is a reflection of the fascinating Pelješac Peninsula and its skies of enchanting pastel hues. ... Learn moreless
