Croatian Times

Yahoo Travel included the Croatian island of Vis among the world's 10 undiscovered "dream islands" in an article published yesterday (Wed).

The article mentions spectacular, deserted beaches, old citadels and the best vineyards in Dalmatia.  It also praises the quaint, narrow streets and the island's selection of restaurants serving delicious seafood specialities.

As Vis has only three "humble hotels,' the visitors are advised to rent private accommodation and villas.

Vis was on the list together with Italian Ischia, Vietnamese Cat Ba, Fakarava island in French Polynesia, Anegada Island, part of the British Virgin Islands, Madeliene in Quebec, Lama in Kenya, Monhegan in Maine (USA) and Terre-de-Haut (Guadalupe).

Dubrovnik in BA’s top ten travel destinations for 2010


Dubrovnik has been selected by British Airways travel experts as one of the top ten travel destinations for 2010.
Known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, Croatia offers privacy and tranquillity making it a popular hideout for the jet set, including recent visitors Jay-Z and Beyonce, according to the report.
