Food Travels
The Guardian, March 2008
Croatia's beautiful coastline is lure enough in itself. But the fact that clued-up Italians now make food pilgrimages across the Adriatic for a taste of Dalmatian cuisine, a three-way split between Balkan, Mediterranean and central European influences, seals the deal. Island-and restaurant-hop your way from the roast lamb at Tri Maruna on Krk down to local oysters and risotto at Kapetanova Kúca on Peljesac, mooring up en route at Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula for more feasting or to get better acquainted with the country's highly drinkable wines. more info...Aye-aye to the Adriatic

The Guardian, July 2007
Think of sailing holidays and Split probably isn't the first place that comes to mind. Despite boasting one of Europe's most attractive coastlines, a welcoming and consistent climate and the chance to explore an alternative Mediterranean culture, the Dalmatian stretch is still all too often overlooked. However, thanks to the arrival of budget flights in the area, and the country's appetite to embrace tourism, things are beginning to change.Luka Grubor, director of Sail Croatia, rowed in the Sydney Olympics, winning gold, so he should know a thing or two on the subject. His company, which organises tailor-made sailing trips, has been growing steadily ever since its inception four years ago. As word spreads, Split and its adjacent islands are becoming an increasingly popular alternative for experienced sailors and landlubbers alike. more info...
All at Sea on Croatia's Coast
The Independent, July 2007
Jugo was causing chaos. We were supposed to be catching our supper with a local spear fisherman and then cooking it, sizzling in a coating of gritty sea-salt over a driftwood fire on the shore. But a strong wind was buffeting us from the south-east ("Jugo" is a south-easterly, our skipper told us) and the weather was forecast to get even wilder. So, instead of anchoring off one of the deserted islands that make up Croatia's Kornati archipelago for the night, we had to sail back to the mainland and a sheltered marina. more info...Sailing The Med
The Times, June 2007
...CroatiaA THOUSAND miles of mainland coast, a thousand islands and 500 ports of call: no wonder Croatia is the fastest-growing sailing destination in the Med. It's especially great if you like plenty of shore time, rather than dawdling away your days on the big blue. It's a good choice for families too, with modest-to-gentle winds and somewhere to tie up around every bend - especially handy if you've any "Are we nearly there yet?" mutineers aboard. And Croatia has more full-service marinas than any other country, with hot showers, restaurant food, mini marts and (if you're on a top-spec yacht) power points for firing up the air-con. more info...
