Nice video. Just for the record: there was no civil war going on in 1990s, but Croatian War of Independence. A huge difference.

[@HZV1492]

There was in Dubrovnik and Zadar

[@brackipas]

@@HZV1492 what would you know? There is no such thing as a civil war between republics.

[@HZV1492]

@@brackipas fact is there was a war

[@jimbanda]

There WAS a civil war, Serbs caught Croats within the borders of Croatia , there was also a war of independence, but to say there was no civil war is to try rewrite history.

Great selection of background music. Very authentic for Dalmatia.

My grandfather was born in what is now Bosnia and, during the Yugoslavia time period, he bought a piece of land on Hvar in a secluded cove and he built a house there. The war was for the countries to gain independence from Yugoslavia, so technically not a civil war. After the war, grandfather adapted his 3 story house into 6 apartments for the tourist season. He spends 9 months on the seaside and 3 inland, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I grew up bouncing between inland Sarajevo and Hvar, travelling Europe on business trips with parents, and I concluded that there's no place quite as magical as Dalmatia. The air, the sea, the food, the sun, the mud, is all medicinal and what I refer to as the fountain of youth. Just beware of Bura storms and summer heat from 12:00-16:00 and stay clean, respectful, and friendly.

Antonio bajamonti, best major of spalato, (from 1860 to 1880) was famous for the sentence: 'we italians of dalmatia can only suffer' because the austrian hungaric empire tried to erase italians.

One thing is for sure .. whoever has tried to present and describe Dalmatia in less than an hour of video material has failed. It's simply impossible ... for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. Not even 20 hours of mega production series would be enough to present all the information about Dalmatia (sites, culture, history, archeology, tradition and present). From the beginning of the world until today, only four great world empires have never integrated Dalmatia into their territory - Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and Persia. From ancient Greece onwards, every empire has left a deep root on this little piece of perfection under the sun called Dalmatia. This video partially covered only southern Dalmatia, while he did not even mention central Dalmatia, with the capital city of Zadar. Before David the King of Israel occupied a small threshing floor on seven hills, from the Jebusite people, and established the city of Jerusalem, Zadar was already an established Illyrian port city in the Mediterranean ... continuously inhabited for 3,000 years. Romulus and Remus had not yet sucked the milk of a She-wolf, while boats and ships were sailing through the port of Zadar (aka. Iadera, Adria, Diadora, Zara). But, anyway ... thanks for this remarkable try.

"Europe's Best Kept Secret"????? With millions of tourists every year?

[@superymariowest2403]

France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Portugal are massively more popular for the coastline. Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden for inland cities. For every tourist that comes to Croatia, 100 visit each of these other countries. Croatia, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, is dramatically overlooked and underrated. Yes, there are 10 million tourists every year, but Paris sees that in a month and most of those tourists are from Poland and Czechia.
