Croatia’s Innovative Tourism Project Welcome Continued Its Journey South On May 28 2011, Reaching The Picturesque Village Of Lombarda On The Island Of Korcula After A Mix Of Kayak And Bike Ride From Loviste On The Western End Of The Peljesac Promontory
The aim of the project is to highlight Croatia’s natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and wide ranging tourism offer by travelling the length of the country using numerous journey sports techniques of transportation along a winding route which spells out the word “Welcome.” The route will be apparent from Google Earth, permitting Croatian tourism to claim the title of the world’s largest welcome.
Leaving the protected bay at Loviste, the team headed to the island of Korcula by canoe, running into breezy conditions in the open sea and, while they needed to proceed carefully at certain times it did not prevent them from socialising with diverse sea turtles whom they came up against on the route.
After a short swim, the team paddled to the hamlet of Babina on the northern coast, where a decision was made to switch the upcoming route after neighbors informed them about ways to a massive wooded ravine.
Switching to bikes, the Welcome team made their way to the unknown Kocje nature park, a natural phenomenon not faced anywhere else on the trip. Kocje is a powerful collection of limestone rock, as high as 20m in parts, concealed by dense vegetation. The effect is a natural warren of tunnels, cracks and caves with lots of the rock covered in green moss.
Kojce has been declared a specifically protected reserve of forest vegetation, and some archaeologists believe it was inhabited by prehistoric man. A interesting concept has been put forward by an Italian professor of arithmetic and physics which places Kojce as the sole entry point in the world for positive lines for magnetic force from Space.
Taking to the primary road, the Welcome team continued their journey, ultimately arriving in the surprising traditional walled town of Korcula, one of the best saved stone cities on the coast. One of the key traveller attractions in that town is it is apparently the birthplace of the great explorer Marco Polo, who would without doubt have counseled the drive of the Welcome Project.
Cycling through the town’s streets, the team then headed for their final destination for the day, the little hamlet of Lumbarda, where they completed the route for the letter “M” in the “Welcome” message. Due to some diversions from the upcoming route, especially on the island of Hvar, the letter “M” is not as clear as the rest, but still very meaningful.
With just the letter “E” to go, the project is entering its final stages, with arrival in Dubrovnik scheduled for June 3. The final stages include travelling along the Peljesac Peninsula to Ston, before backtracking through the Bosnian Riviera (the single time the project leaves Croatia) to the border town of Metkovic, and then back to Peljesac and on to the island of Mljet before a final canoe effort to Dubrovnik, as reported tagza.com.
Croatia is extremely gorgeous country and everyone who comes in this lovely country, wish to have Croatia real estate. The Croatian home market is fairly well developed. Croatian land and Croatian home prices are still uncommonly propitious, especially on the Dalmatian islands where properties such as pretty Croatia stone houses built in the standard style.
Also in the beautiful Croatia consequential cities like Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar or Korcula there are wonderful real-estate and property chances to acquire prime location real-estate at reasonable prices. Foreign interest in buying property in Croatia, including the small islands, all of a sudden grew 2 years gone. Until then foreigners did not believe this was a market a brilliant idea to invest in property.

Croatia has a large range of villas on Dalmatian islands, terraces in pictoresque old cities, homes near to the totally clear Adriatic, homes or any type of property or property for development in the major holiday maker and holiday home areas of Croatia, including Dubrovnik and Istria.
The short term rental market will grow with the amount of returning vacation makers. Untouched, relaxed, attractive, and safe, Croatia is one of Europe’s loveliest treasures. Everything a discriminating visitor or house consumer is looking for can be discovered here : clear as crystal seas, changeless fishing hamlets, and unmarred beaches, Roman ruins, a spotless lake district, and medieval walled cities. Though real-estate prices in Croatia have been increasing at a rate of between 20 % and 30 percent per annum recently, it isn’t too late to purchase.
