Sailing across Croatia's eye-catching coastline is a wonderful experience. The country's tourism industry has been flagged up because of Croatia's cruising and yachting industries. With more than 1,180 islands and 3,000-mile long coastline, one can feel the grandeur of the magic the country can bring. In 2005 alone, there are approximately 10 million tourists in Croatia with most of them wanting to take a quick look at the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas. If you want to sail in the country's southern regions, start your journey in the port of Dubrovnik. It is one of Croatia's most visited tourist attractions, especially by yacht enthusiasts, because of its close proximity to Adriatic Sea. The city of Dubrovnik, which has a population of about 45,000, is also a cultural center because of its medieval urban walls, historic Rector Palace, and remarkable old-fashioned convents. I highly recommend that you take a couple of days of your charter and stay in a local hotel in the city. As a general guide you should regard Split to Dubrovnik as a minimum of a one week trip and give it two weeks if you need to start and finish in the same marina. Apart from Dubrovnik, yacht charter Croatia include the ports of Zadar, Baska Voda, Vodice, Split, Pula, Biograd, Kastela, Porec, Rovinj, and Marina. Pula is a city situated in the country's northwest region along the Adriatic Sea. It has a population of approximately 58,000 inhabitants. Pula is one of Croatia's major port areas. It is also an industrial center. The city is very Roman in culture and tradition because it was a former colony of Rome in 178 B.C. At present, Pula has still preserved some of its ancient Roman architectures. The most famous are the Roma and Augustus temples built during the 1st century A.D., the Arch of the Sergii, and the Porta Aurea triumphal arch constructed in 1st century B.C. Aside from this, the cool blue beaches of the city has made Pula a very charming tourist center in the country. Sailing in Croatia is available everyday. Typically, you can sail the country's shores 365 days a year. But, the best time to cruise the Croatian coast is from the months of April (spring season) to October (autumn season). During this period, the weather is so nice and the sea relatively calm. However, the spring season sometimes has rain showers. Nevertheless, with the country's approximately 3,000-mile long coastline and 1,180 islands, you can never have enough of Croatia's coasts. One of Croatia's brilliant coasts is located in Dalmatia. It is one of the country's most ancient territories. In fact, the city of Zadar, which is approximately 3,000 years old, is in Dalmatia. Aside from Zadar, the city of Split is also very old. This place is where Emperor Diocletian of Rome held his residence. About AuthorD.
