| The Croatia chapter of Eastern Europe on a Shoestring (4) was
my first Croatia text. Researched in 1996, Croatia was just emerging
from the devastating Balkan wars. Most coastal hotels were still
filled with refugees and an ennervating glumness permeated the country. |
This first edition of Croatia was also the first guidebook in
English to the country. It was a huge undertaking but Croatians
were anxious to get their tourism industry underway and couldn't
have been more helpful. The cover blurb reads "Get in before
the crowds return!" |
By the time of Croatia 3, published in 2005, the
crowds had returned! |
| Croatians utterly detest the idea of
being lumped with the dreaded "Balkans" a region they
would like to mail to another part of the globe. Published in 2006,
Western Balkans covers the former Yugoslavia plus Albania. |
Best of Dubrovnik gives the complete lowdown on
the sights, activities, restaurants and hotels of this fabulous
and surprisingly friendly city. |
The newest Croatia book,
Croatia 4 has a wealth of background information to prepare
your for your Croatia vacation. Croatia changes fast though,
so get the latest hotel, flight and transport information right
here on Croatia Traveller!
