Croatia - The New Foodie Frontier

Tipped as “the new foodie frontier” by some of UK’s most established food and travel writers, Croatia is just waiting to be discovered.

London, UK (PRWEB) January 25, 2006 -- Independent UK tour operator My Croatia has launched its 2006 specialist-holiday brochure featuring private, tailor-made gourmet and discovery holidays in Croatia.

Packed with evocative images and enticing itineraries, My Croatia’s 2006 brochure is a must for discerning travellers in search of unique gourmet experiences in areas of outstanding natural beauty.

As founder Vanessa Borcic explains: "Our 2006 holiday programme introduces Lastovo Island - one of the Mediterranean’s last paradises according to WWF, a place so uncommercial, most people haven’t ever heard of it!"

A four hour ferry journey from Split, getting to Lastovo takes time. But the rewards are abundant. Lastovo’s rugged, dramatic landscape is awe-inspiring.

‘The Emperor’s Isle’ holiday on Lastovo is a journey to another world, a glimpse into a lifestyle few of us will ever know. The week-long holiday is designed for independent travellers and lovers of nature and adventure. An oasis of tranquillity, the island is a perfect destination for those who would like to experience life in the slow track. Explore a Robinson Crusoe landscape of wooded trails, panoramic lookouts and secret coves, enjoy lunch on a rock-strewn beach, take a swim in luminescent waters, or dine under the stars on a lighthouse promontory.

"Lastovo has always been an island apart – marginalised geographically and economically," Vanessa Borcic explains. "Ironically, this fact of life has helped to preserve its traditional lifestyle and culture, and above all, the natural resources and unspoilt beauty of one of the Mediterranean’s last pristine destinations."
