Read your interview about being a Danish expat in Split. Was just wondering if you know anyone else who may want to move to the area to start a business? My father owns seafront land in Pisak in the Omis riviera. There are two buildable plots totaling 1700sqm with about 45 meters of seafrontage. Great open views and you can moor your boat. My dad went through the timely and costly process of getting permits for apartments for the upper property, as he thought he wanted to rent them to tourists. As he is getting older, he has decided that is more than he’d be able to handle. So he has decided to sell it. We have just listed it with some agencies, but can also sell it directly. I created a website with photos, plans and other details. Thank you!

Hi Anja, i will ask around, but i am afraid, times are currently not to good for selling anything, expect if it is a real bargain.

Hello Somehow I ran into your website. I think it was twitter. I agree with you not many pages on croatia. I started my own blog but is more along the lines of a journal. I think I will add your banner and direct people your way. I will ask hubby if hiking is on my mind this weekend. we might just do that. thanks for the info.

MY WIFE AND i ARE coming to croatia on vac. in early September, Ive been looking at renting a villa around Dubr. and renting a car to do day trips. What ivs seen on villas the price isnt too bad. But what Im wondering is it better to just rent a car and travel around and stay in hotels along the coast ect ect? Any advice would be great as weve never been there. thank you, jim

Personally I would prefer the second option, there is so many beautiful spots in Dalmatia, and if you go up the coast there is no reason why you shouldn’t also stay in hotels there, instead of having to spend time on returning to Dubrovnik every day.
You didn’t mention how many days you are going to stay here?
If you have a week I could recommend the following program, stay 2 first days in Dubrovnik, third day go to Island of Mljet with the Ferry from Dubrovnik or take a day trip to Montenegro.
On 4th day, take car and go to Orebic on the peninsula Pelješac and take ferry to island Korcula, stay in Korcula town. On 5th cross the island to Vela Luka, from where you take ferry to Split, spend rest of the 5th day and the 6th day in Split, go to Trogir if you have time, (Assuming you have flight from Dubrovnik) you should leave split on 7th day in the morning, head back to Dubrovnik following the coastal road.
If this doesn’t, seam interesting, let me know what you would like to see and do and I will make you suggestion based on that.

Dear Jim second option is better because from Dubrovnik you can see not only island Korčula ,Mljet but also and island Hvar.You go from Dubrovnik to Makarska ,there is place name Drvenik.In Drvenik you buy ticket for Sućuraj and you are in the island Hvar and you can visit Jelsa,place araund Jelsa,eate in konoba “Duboković” in place Pitve,and visit town Hvar .From island Hvar you can visit Split,and after that you can visit Trogir or island Brač.For island Brač you must buy ticket for ferryboat in Split

I like your ideas. Our trip starts in Prague where we will arrive from san diego. We”ve never been in this part of Europe so any and all suggestions are great. I guess we”ll spend 2-3 days in Prague, then move on to Budapest by train for 2-3 days, then train it to Split. I think we will be leaving from Split on the way home. When we get to Split we still have a week left. So what do ya think? Any ideas about Prague or Budapest? We are planning this trip for the second wk of September 2010. Ive heard things are a bit cheaper than. Were both in our 50″s age wise so were not looking to party like the kids do, but want to have fun too. We love to travel and it sure looks pretty there. OK, hopefully Ill talk to ya soon. thanks, Jim

Hi Jim
for Prague and Budapest i cant give you any advice, but for Croatia you can pick some of the spots I and also Dragana mentioned.
September is for sure cheaper then main season, at that time a year you can also negotiate the prices in many places, as most hotel are only half full.
I wish you a great trip down here, I am sure you will enjoy it.
