How to resist the charm of the Mediterranean? So many different countries to visit, so many different histories and cultures to learn about, so many stories they tell, so many delicious yet mostly healthy food to taste and even better drinks to down Yes, many are things to see and do on the Mediterranean. So, strip off your clothes, put your red and white checkered sunglasses on and have a look at what makes Croatia better than Who cares if the background is loaded with concrete, or concretely, with accommodation facilities that have mushroomed over the past few decades and changed the scenery completely.
Apart from a few excellent sandy beaches such as the Sakarun beach on Dugi Otok island which correlates to Spanish beaches, the beaches are mostly rocky or pebbly, and not sandy as much. No sand?

In the midst of the capital of the world, as it used to be called in the Antiquity, proudly stands the Colosseum as a symbol of wealth and power.
