Croatia: Why It Is Important To Travel Alone

We all know that travelling is a great way to improve yourself. It is exciting to travel, but I think it is much more exciting to travel alone. You must take care of yourself and it’s an easy way to meet new people. If you travel with friends or in a group, you may not talk to others, because you do not need it, you have your friends with you. It is very informative to talk to people form other cultures. Let them telling you about his/her life, work and environment. Than tell this person something about you. It is a new experience for both of you and than one people of a foreign country knows a little bit about your culture. This is a good way to demolish borders.nnI will never forget my first travel by my own. It was to Croatia, the former Yugoslav republic, at the crossroads of Central Europe and the Balkans. Croatia has a population of about 4,500,00 (2007). It visited the coast from Zadar to Primosten.nnThe city Zadar is located in the centre of the Croatian Adriatic. For many sailors is Zadar the king of all the cities on this coastline. Here you can find historical and cultural monuments, you can book excursions to closer and farther surroundings, visit nice promenades, charming beaches and enjoy entertainment events. The historical part of Zadar is fascinating to all those who love cultural heritage. You must see the symbol of Zadar, the church of St. Donat. The Archaeological Museum is also worth seeing. It is one of the most important in Croatia. It shelters about 80,000 exhibits from the Stone Age to the late Middle Ages. You should taste the home-made specialities and the famous liqueur Maraskino in one of the numerous bars and restaurants. At a smaller or greater distance from Zadar you can find more than 300 islands and islets.nnPrimosten is a town and harbour on a small peninsula, south-east of Sibenik. Primosten is noted for its various sports activities include beach volleyball, yachting, tennis, bowling, table tennis and so on. This town is also noted for its special food. If you come to Primosten and its surroundings, try traditional dishes like prosciutto, lamb, cheese in olive oil, roasted meat or the most famous local speciality, spiny lobster a la Primosten. Tasting Babic, the famous local red wine, is a must. In summer, numerous entertainment programs, shows and cultural events take place. Famouse is the Primosten fiesta in the first week in August. The important religious feast days of Our Lady of Loret on the 9th and 10th of May is a special experience. You gain insight to a foreign culture.n
