<description><![CDATA[When moonlight shines down upon the Neretva estuary, the game of shadows and light under the bright sky surpasses even the most amazing stage sets. It seems as if nature is playing with our feelings, showing us how little is needed for perfect harmony and accord. The people of the area are fully aware of that, and they took the natural light as the starting point of their Festival which enhances the beauty of Croatian nature with the beauty of Croatian music. Thus Metković becomes the gathering point for folklore groups coming both from Croatia and abroad, and their singing and dancing is a hymn to the Moon above their beloved Neretva River.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[It is only possible to enjoy all the beauty that is hidden in the Adriatic Sea by boat. Only then can you discover its hidden coves, places that you cannot get to by foot or access using land based transport. This is why small boat building is extremely important. In recent times it has become possible to find everything that is related to boat building and sailing in one place – the Šibenik boat fair, which attracts an increasing number of sailing fans and has given our nautical tourism a new lease of life.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Once upon a time, important international routes went through Gorski kotar. In the early 18th century, the Carolina Road was built as an important route connecting Karlovac with the town of Bakar. However, the terrain it passed through was rugged, which prompted the construction of a new road at the beginning of the 19th century - this one being named Louisiana after Napoleon’s wife Mary Louise. At the time, Louisiana was one of the most modern roads in Europe, and it brought significant benefits to the population of Gorski kotar. Today these two roads no longer hold their former significance, but the memory of their golden age is still preserved by this summer event. During these days, caravans of travelers dressed in keeping with the times travel up and down the Louisiana and Carolina, music can be heard from behind every corner, while the hosts take every opportunity to ply one with homemade food and pastries. Come and join the procession of princes and other nobility and their sumptuously decked coaches.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The Kravat Regiment is a Croatian light
cavalry regiment from the XVII century.
Except for the extraordinary heroism of
its soldiers, the cavalry was recognisable
for the picturesque scarves worn
around the neck by its soldiers as part
of their uniform, after which the tie is
named. The scarf, worn in a knot, quickly
became a fashion accessory and was
known by the ethnic name of the Croats;
as Krobatten in Germany and as Cravate
in France. Through the establishment in
1664 of the Croatian regiment, the Royal
Cravattes, in the French Royal Army, the
cravat officially received a certificate of
originality. Tourists can learn more about
this and other stories if twenty minutes to
noon, they head toward the Upper Town.
Each guard change begins with a parade
and review of the guard’s arms. The ceremony
involves an entire formation of 12
soldiers and horsemen, after which they
separate and head for St. Mark’s Square
(side entrance to St. Mark’s Church), the
Ban Josip Jelačić square and the Statue of
Virgin Mary on Kaptol. They are accompanied
by armourers, trumpeters, drummers,
standard bearers and the commander. The
whole event gives tourists an insight into
the lost traditions of soldiers from the glorious
past.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[As soon as the April sun finds its way through the remnants of the winter clouds, the streets of Zagreb become the venue for a whole array of happenings which last until the autumn chills start, and which take us back through the history of the city. Walking through the streets of the Upper Town, the old part of Zagreb, you are certain to come across characters that made Zagreb famous – singers of old parlour ballads, bohemians or peasant women from the village of Šestine. Meanwhile, from the pavilion in the Zrinjevac park in the centre of town, the enchanting sounds of the waltz and tango will be heard again, just as depicted in old films and sentimental photographs.]]></description>
