The beautiful vistas, pristine oceans and beaches of the area that emcompasses Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatioa, and Slovenia, seems at first thought paradoxical. The region has sufferred much. Under the Romans, the beachers were the playground of the emperors but Christians and others were severely persecuted. In modern times, the creation of Yugoslavia did little to help the region. At the same time, the beauty and charm became a secret, often inaccessibel to those outside the Soviet Bloc.
Dalmatia's doors are open--come and explore this incredible land. Ascend from the long rugged coast line of Croatia to the mountains shared with Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
