The Birthplace Of Marco Polo Welcomes The Welcome Team, Who Reach Korcula With A Mixture Of Canoe And Bike To End The 'M ' In Welcome

The aim of the project is to spotlight Croatia's natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and wide ranging tourism offer by travelling the length of the country using various adventure sports techniques of transport along a winding route which spells out the word "Welcome." The route will be identifiable from Google Earth, allowing Croatian tourism to claim the title of the planet's biggest welcome.

Leaving the protected bay at Loviste, the team headed to the island of Korcula by kayak, encountering windy conditions in the open sea and, while they had to continue with caution at times , it did not hinder them from socialising with numerous sea turtles whom they encountered on the route.

After a short swim, the team paddled to the hamlet of Babina on the northwards coast, where a decision was made to modify the planned route after locals informed them about ways to a giant wooded ravine.

Switching to bikes, the Welcome team made their way to the little known Kocje nature park, a natural phenomenon not faced anywhere else on the trip. Kocje is a formidable collection of limestone rock, as high as 20m in parts, hidden by dense foliage. The effect is a natural warren of tunnels, cracks and caves with a lot of the rock covered in green moss.

Kojce has been declared a specially protected reserve of forest vegetation, and some archaeologists believe it was inhabited by primeval man. A rather more fascinating theory 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 main road, the Welcome team continued their journey, finally arriving in the striking ancient walled city of Korcula, one of the best preserved stone towns on the coast. One of the main tourist attractions in that city is it is allegedly the birthplace of the great explorer Marco Polo, who would without doubt have endorsed the initiative of the Welcome Project.

Cycling thru the town's streets, the team then headed for their last destination for the day, the tiny hamlet of Lumbarda, where they completed the route for the letter "M" in the "Welcome" message. Due to some diversions from the intended route, particularly on the island of Hvar, the letter "M" is not as clear as the rest, but still extraordinarily meaningful.

With just the letter "E" to go, the project is entering its last stages, with arrival in Dubrovnik lined up for June 3. The final stages include travelling along the Peljesac Promontory to Ston, before backtracking thru the Bosnian Riviera (the only 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 kayak effort to Dubrovnik, as reported tagza.com.

Croatia is extremely beautiful country and everybody 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 costs are still extraordinarily propitious, particularly on the Dalmatian islands where properties like beautiful Croatia stone homes built in the standard style.

Also in the beautiful Croatia consequential towns like Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar or Korcula there are smashing property and property occasions to get prime location property at decent prices. Foreign interest in buying property in Croatia, including the small islands, all of a sudden grew 2 years back. Till then foreigners did not believe this was a market a smart idea to take a position in property.

Broker property are specialists in property and property in all areas of Croatia. Croatia has an enormous range of villas on Dalmatian islands, apartments in pictoresque old cities, houses near to the fully clear Adriatic, houses 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 near term rental market will grow with the amount of returning vacation makers. Untouched, relaxed, enticing, and safe, Croatia is one of Europe's loveliest treasures. Everything a discriminating visitor or house buyer is searching for can be discovered here : clear as crystal seas, invariable fishing hamlets, and unspoiled beaches, Roman ruins, a spotless lake district, and medieval walled towns. Though property costs in Croatia have been accelerating at a rate of between 20 p.c and thirty p.c per annum recently, it's still not too late to buy .
