Croatia Travel Guide

croatia travel guide"croatia travel guide"
How to travel between Rovinj and Pula, Croatia?

1. Does anyone know how much is the bus from Pula Airport to Pula Bus Station, and more importantly, how much is the bus from Pula to Rovinj?

2. How often do they run? If you knew specific times on 25th April, and a return 28th April (Rovinj- Pula) or could guide me to websites with this info (I could not find any) I'd be greateful.

3. Also, what weather should I expect end of April? Should I take my spring coat and umbrella or is it too much?

4. Finally, I was hoping to show my husband the Amphitheatre in Pula first, before heading off to Rovinj, but ideally I'd like to leave the bags somewhere for 2 hours - do you know such a place? (like travel office, perhaps, which offers storage).

Thanks a lot!
Hello again,

Could you also let me know how to get to park Brijoni from Rovinj? thanks!


I would defiantly take a light coat or jumper, it can get quite chilly at night at that time of year. An umbrella would also be handy.

Travel to Eastern Europe, Ukraine, Kiev

7 neglected technical wonders of the USSR Balaklava, Crimea, Ukraine the Secret submarine base in the small Crimean town Balaklava - one of the largest military objectives, appearing abandoned after disintegration of the USSR




From 1961 under the mountain of Tavros a complex appeared, where the weapons (including nuclear weapon) were kept and where submarine and ships used to be repaired. More than 14 submarines of different classes could hide in, and all complex was able to survive after the direct shot  of nuclear bomb power to 100 kT. The object was  abandoned in 1993. It  was plundered  on a scrap-metal by local citizens  and only in 2002 this submarine base was opened as a museum complex.




 




Neglected rocket mine, Kekava, Latvia




After disintegration of empire a lot of munition  went to  young countries, including a lot of  mines of ballistic rockets  in forests. Quite not far from the capital of Latvia there are tailings of rocket complex «Dvina». The object was built in 1964, it consisted of 4 starting mines  about 35 meters  under  the ground. Considerable part of halls is flooded nowadays, and a visit of this mines  without an experienced guide is not recommended. Also of poisonous rocket fuel  is very  dangerous for  health.




 




Huge lifting  cranes, Moscow area




To 1993 Lopatinskiy a phosphorite mine was a fully successful  minefield, where the most necessary agriculture minerals was obtained for the whole soviet union. And with arrival of market economy the neglected careers with giant excavators  became the place of pilgrimage of tourists. It is needed to hurry with a visit, enormous mechanical dinosaurs are gradually taken apart on a scrap-metal. But even  after plunder of the last technique of Lopatinskiy career will be the place with very beautiful landscapes. And by the way, here it is still possible to find the fossils of ancient marine inhabitants.




 




Zagorizontnaya RLS Arc, Pripyat', Ukraine




Titanic building, built in 1985 for finding out the starts of intercontinental ballistic rockets, would successfully function until today, but in fact worked less than one  year. Giant aerial in 150 meters high and long 800 consumed such amount of electric power, that was built practically close to Chernobyl  nuclear station , and, also, halted the work together with the explosion of the nuclear station. Nowadays  to Pripyat' and including to the foot RLS are excursions, but to climb 150-meter high try only a few.




 




City on the sea shore «Neftianye Kamni», Azerbaijan




Soviet Union needed oil and in 40th of the last century in the Caspian sea in 42 kilometres to the East from  the Apsheronskogo peninsula it began. And round the first platforms began to grow a city, also located on metallic trestles and embankments. During the good economic period in Soviet Union at sea in a 110 km from Baku power-stations, nine-storeyed buildings of dormitories, hospitals, house of culture, bakery and even lemonade workshop were built. There was  a small park with the real trees for the workers. Neftianye Kamni are more than 200 stationary platforms, and the extent of streets of the city is around 350 kilometres on the sea. But cheap Siberian oil did the marine city unprofitable and settlement began to come in desolation. Today here lives about 2 thousand people only.




 




Station of study of ionosphere, Zmiev, Ukraine




Practically before disintegration of Soviet Union near Kharkov the station of ionosphere researches, which was analogue to the American project HAARP on Alaska, was built, which successfully functioning today. The complex of the station consisted of a few antenna fields and giant parabolic aerial a diameter 25 meters, able to radiate power around 25 MW. But for the young Ukrainian state the modern  and a very expensive, scientific apparatus was useless, and nowadays only tourists  are interested in the secret station.




 




Kreshatyk and Independence Square in Kiev

Kreshatyk is the main street of Kiev. With a tree alley on one side and no traffic on weekends and holidays, people gather to sit, chat and drink here. Every weekend there is an event or a concert taking place or at least music is played. On one end of Khreshatik there is the famous Bessarabka market - originally it was a market with goods brought by peasants from Bessarabia - Moldova. Today, the ground floor is fully occupied by vegetables, fruits, flowers, spices, meat, cheese, fish, caviar and other specialities and all the vendors are trying to pull you to their stand to try and buy. It is one of the few places where you can get any kind of fruit or vegetable all year round but it will also cost you. From outside, the building is filled with restaurants, snack bars, shops and cafes. There is a non stop tearoom, sushi bar, pizza fast food and other venues.





Walking to the other end of the 1300 meters long street you'll get to Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square). The square is a mixture of different styles - the Soviet type hotel Ukraine, the modern glass hemisphere of the shopping center, the Monument to the Independence - a column rising 50 meters high and so on.
Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra

Lavra means 'monastery' and Pechersk is a name derived from 'pechery' meaning 'caves'. That and more you will find when visiting the most significant sightseeing point in Kiev. It is the oldest Orthodox monastery in Ukraine that attracted thousands of pilgrims and many monks. The buildings were destroyed by fire and later also during the Nazi occupation but it was always reconstructed. Nowadays it is a UNESCO heritage with lots of tourists visiting. The caves are small and narrow, stretching several hundred meters and up to 20 meters under ground. Some of the monks dug into their caves and decided to stay there forever with just a small hole allowing food and water to be passed in. Once dead, they were left and buried there - you can see the embalmed bodies in glass coffins. The caves are a very holy place and you have to dress appropriately to get in, women need to cover their head with a scarf (own or borrowed or bought on the spot). Apart from the caves you can climb up the Bell Tower for a beautiful view, visit different churches, the Uspenski Cathedral, cemetery, tombs and several museums.
St. Vladimir's Cathedral

It took 34 years, many changes in planning, dismissal of several architects and lots of artists to complete the construction of this beautiful cathedral. It was officially consecrated in the presence of Tsar Nikolay II in 1896. The interior walls are covered with paintings from various artists, from outside the bright colours and strong Byzantium style make St. Vladimir truly eye-catching.
St. Sophia's Cathedral

St. Sophia's Cathedral was constructed in early 11th century and at that time was a mighty impressive complex. Inside you will find amazing mosaics and frescoes, some of which also had to be restored. In one of the altars there is a white sarcophagus with remains of Yaroslav the Wise and his wife Iryna.
Mikhailovskiy Monastery

This gold-domed cathedral is located just opposite the Sophia Cathedral, on Mikhailovskaya Square. It was constructed, repaired and reconstructed many times over nine centuries. In 1930 the complex was partially destroyed as it was being rebuilt into a governmental building for Bolsheviks. In 1937 they demolished it altogether. It was restored between 1997 and 2000. You'll find a memorial plate of N. Makarenko who refused to sign the demolition act in 1937 and was sent to a jail in Novosibirsk. There is an observation platform, a permanent exhibition and you'll find many beautiful mosaics, frescoes and icons inside.
Mariyinskiy Palace

This baroque palace was completed in 1752 for Empress Elisabeta Petrovna. It burnt down in 1819 and was later reconstructed again to accommodate monarchs and high ranking officials from Russia and it serves the purpose till present day - for presidential and other important meetings.
Opera House

The Ukrainian National Opera was built in 1856, burnt down 40 years later and there was a competition for new design. Viktor Shreter from Petersburg won and built the Renaissance style theater in 1901. Many famous artists have performed here.
Andreevski Spusk

Andreevski Spusk is the Montmartre of Kiev. There is a market of arts and crafts on the steep street and many artists are closely connected with the street. Mikhail Bulgakov lived in the Turbin house on Andreevski Spusk for more than a decade. The house is the scene of 'The White Guard' and 'The Days of the Turbins' and is now Bulgakov's museum. Not far away - house number 2b - is the One Street Museum, one of the most famous and popular museums in Kiev with a small but lovely exposition.
St. Andrey's church

Saint Andrey's Church was also declared a museum in 1968. It was built in the 18th century for Empress Elisabeth Petrovna who also laid the first foundation stone of it herself. She engaged her favourite architect F. B. Rastrelli, the interior was decorated by many artists including A. Antropov. Unfortunately the Empress died before the work was finished and it was a struggle to keep the church maintained. After several reconstructions the church changed too much from its original but luckily Ratsrelli's plans were found and in 1970s it was fully restored.
House with Chimeras

Built by V. Gorodezhkiy in the beginning of 20th century, this house is quite extraordinary. It was the first house built with cement, it is on a very steep slope and sinking now. It is called the House with Chimeras because the facade is decorated with strange sculptures of elephants, rhinoceroses, frogs, lizards and such. There are many legends about the construction. One is that the architect's daughter committed suicide, he became slightly crazy and built this gloomy house in her memory.
The Peoples Friendship Arch Monument

This monument in Krehsatyk Park was constructed in 1982 to celebrate the union of Russia and Ukraine. It is a huge, 30 meters long, rainbow-shaped arch with statues of Russian and Ukrainian workers. There is a very nice view over the park, river and opposite bank.
Rodina Mat (Motherland)

The 530-ton metal statue is 68 m high, standing on a 40 m pedestal and she's holding a 12-ton sword in her right hand and the USSR symbol in the left. L. Brezhnev opened the monument in 1981. Currently there is the Great Patriotic War museum. In the Memorial Hall there are hundreds of funeral letters to the dead soldiers on display. Every year on Victory day the Fire of Glory is lit here.
Podol

Podol district of Kiev is very popular for its special atmosphere, many bars, cafes and restaurants, proximity to the river and sightseeing points. It is also a district with many lives - it was destroyed by floods, fire, enemies and planned to be demolished but it never disappeared. On Kontraktova Plosha visit Gostinny Dvor, the Church of the Blessed Virgin Pirogoshya, the former Greek monastery or the Kiev Mohyla Academy. Near Poshtova Plosha there is the river station where boats depart for sightseeing tours on one side and the funicular can take you back uptown on the other.
Holy Trinity (St. Yonah's) Monastery

The monastery was founded over Zvirinets caves in 1864. 800 monks lived in the monastery before 1917. There were two churches in the monastery: Holy Trinity Cathedral and Holy Protection Church. In 1934 the monastery was closed and Holy Protection Church was destroyed. In 1991 the monastery was reopened. Zvirinets caves are as ancient as the Lavra caves.
St. Cyril's Church

In 1139 Prince Vsevolod of Chernigiv founded a monastery dedicated to his divine patron - St. Cyril of Alexandria. Vsevolod's wife Maria constructed St. Cyril's Church in the monastery. In 1786 the monastery was closed. The hospital was situated in the former monks' cells. In 1860 frescoes of the 12th century were discovered during the renovation of the church. 800 sq. m of frescoes were restored. Some of wall paintings and the icons of the iconostasis were made by Russian artist M. Vrubel at the end of the 19th century. Since 1963 St. Cyril's Church is a branch of St. Sofia Preserve. The divine service was resumed in 1993.
Pushkinskaya Street

Walking around Kyiv, most of us never lift our eyes from the pavement, even to look up at buildings with bright shop windows. But the facades of many buildings often remind us how nice some city streets are. One of them is Pushkinska Street near the downtown.

Nice France Travel Guide

Is it safe to bring a nice camera to Italy?

I'm 16 years old, and will be in 11th grade in the fall. I am going with my school to Italy, Spain, and South France in March of 2010. I am very excited, although I have been to Italy and France before. I really enjoy photography, and I plan on purchasing a nice camera (possibly a Canon Rebel) very soon, with a wad of money I have saved up for quite sometime. I would love to take this camera to Italy, to get beautiful shots of the scenes as well as of me and my friends.

Do you think it's safe to bring it there?
Do I have to worry about it being stolen, or lost?
We are traveling as a school group (roughly 40 kids), and we will be going with a travel agency as well as a tour company/director/guide for the whole trip.
Is it practical to bring this camera? Or should I just bring my little digital one?

Thanks!


You sound a little bit confused ...let me think...lose it? Oh yes I guess you can lost things EVERYWHERE so it might be possible you lose that in Italy as well....stolen?Only if you meet Clint Eastwood on his horse during a shoot....seriously are you speaking seriously?Do you know what Italy is....a nation you know in europe we drive cars, we got houses and roads, we got jobs, shops (yes they sell your kind of camera as well here...shocking how we are "forward" arent we?..) and offices and even internet...where you think you are going? In the jungle? Give me a break darling but do you all americans get any education there?Families tell there how to behave? You are here doing a totally stupid and moron statement, insulting a whole country with your answer, you sound so nasty, rude and racist and you even don't realize it? I mean are you all that rude over there? Do you really think this place is full of criminals or what?? Thanks god Italy is still one of the most SAFER place on this planet actually, for sure lots safer than yours for a start...shame on you and your rudeness!
By the way is safe if I come to Us or they are going to killing me in one of those terribles mass murders that happens continuos there? Have I to be scared or I will be alive at the end of the journey?
Cheers

Cape Town Travel Guides

cape town travel guides"cape town travel guides"

See more of Cape Town this summer

With a record number of British travellers making the trip to South Africa this summer to see England play in the World Cup, tourism bodies in Cape Town and other host cities are encouraging visitors to get the most out of their holidays in the capital city by pointing out the wealth of things to see and do - from natural wonders to locating the best restaurants.




For many World Cup attendees, this will likely be the only time they make the trip to South Africa, and a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see the sights of Cape Town. A number of handy guides are being published to direct visitors to the best tourism opportunities during their short visit, which could see Cape Town rise in prominence as a major destination for world travellers.




The African continent has always been celebrated for its diverse natural beauty, and Cape Town is no different, built in the shadow of the striking Table Mountain. Visitors can make the trip up to plateau, over 1,000 metres in height, to enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Cape Town and the coast. Further outdoor adventures can be had at the numerous conservation areas within easy reach of the city, including Bontebok National Park which is also the perfect place to see the country's indigenous wildlife such as zebras, antelopes and exotic bird species up close.




Those with an interest in South Africa's turbulent history can also visit key sites such as the infamous Robben Island, where President Nelson Mandela served most of his incarceration. Now a museum and a protected heritage site, Robben Island acts as a stirring memento of Cape Town's past, with guided tours and multimedia exhibitions making it a world-class visitor facility. There's much more to Cape Town than just its historical curiosities however, with the well developed city boasting a range of entertainments for visitors of all preferences, from casinos to theatres and live music performances.




Cape Town is one of South Africa's most accessible destinations, with flights to Cape Town landing only 20 minutes from the city and a wealth of transit options available during the bustling World Cup period. Even if you prefer to visit after the peak season to avoid the crowds, the effects of the momentous sporting event are sure to be felt throughout the South African economy - meaning Cape Town will be an ideal position to develop even more tourist opportunities in the future.

Travel Guide To Greece

travel guide to greece"travel guide to greece"
European travel itinerary?

Hi! I am planning (well in advance) for a 14-20 day trip to Europe from Canada. Its our first time to Europe so we want to do it up right. Time and money are plentiful.
I want to visit France (Paris and the Riviera) and the hubby wants to see Italy and Spain (he doesn't care what he sees in terms of sites, mostly wants cool cities). It would be ok if we went to London on the way there or back and maybe visited Greece. I have read the guide books etc. but would really appreciate some expert advice - THANKS!


Well I'm no expert, but I have been to several European countries and will be studying in England in the fall, so I've done plenty of research. Here are some tips: :)

1. Allow plenty of time in Paris--visit the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Musee d'Orsay, and spend time shopping on the Champs Elysees. I also recommend taking a river cruise down the Seine at night--I did it during the day but I think it would be prettier at night. Also be sure to visit Versailles--it's a little distance outside the city, but well worth the visit.
2. Definitely go to London--it's probably my favorite European city because there is so much to do, and everything is exceptionally clean and well-kept. Ride the London Eye to get your bearings; visit St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, and Westminster Abbey; and take time to walk around some of the neighborhoods.
3. Haven't been to Italy, but I really want to! Rome looks really good, as does Venice and Florence.
4. If you go to Spain, I definitely recommend visiting Barcelona. I've heard it's the most beautiful city in Europe.
5. If you have time, also visit Amsterdam and Luzern, Switzerland. I've also heard great things about Salzburg and Vienna, Austria and Prague, Czech Republic.
6. I was on a Trafalgar tour, so I don't know too much about the transportation options, but if you think you would be interested in a tour, I definitely recommend them. They're a great way to travel, though I must admit that they can get a bit hectic--some more so than others.
Here's their website if you're interested:

Hope this helps, and hope you have a wonderful trip!!

Fun, inexpensive, little-known things to do in Turkey this time of year?

Has any of you adventurous touristy folks had a real kick doing something often not mentioned in the travel guides during the winter time? Fun places to explore, exciting modes of transportation, hotels, etc? Any advice? Thanks a million! Steve

Travel For Money In 3 Easy Steps

Traveling for money, it is one of the most rewarding things to do. You get to earn money while exploring the world. Imagine yourself in the Bahamas, enjoying the atmosphere as part of your job or having an adventure in Australia while getting paid doing it or practicing your vocation in the most scenic locations in Hawaii.




It is almost unbelievable but in reality it's almost easy to accomplish. You can get rich from your travels. Contrary to common belief, traveling does not have to mean empty pockets; it can actually fill your bank account. With the right knowledge and skills regardless of experience, you can profit from your travels.




How to do it? There are three ways to make money on the trot




1) Find a job that involves travel




Travel jobs are immensely abundant. The travel and tourism industry covers a vast range of job positions in various fields. Degree and non-degree holders alike can find a job with relative ease because of the diversity and vast number of positions available. However, it can be competitive especially for jobs with very high pay.




To get travel jobs, one must know where to look and how to apply properly. Having the right attitude and personality is also crucial. Normally, travel and tourism jobs require excellent interpersonal skills. Other skills involved are communication, organization, and managerial skills.




Health care professionals, especially nurses, are in demand in a lot of travel destinations and this includes Hawaii, Alaska, Australia, and many other places. Cruise Ship jobs are also plentiful and almost anyone can land a position on a cruise liner. Teaching English overseas is another great option.




One great thing about travel jobs is that even without formal education you can work and climb the career ladder. Although educated individuals will land high paying travel jobs easier, the industry does not limit hiring blue collar skilled workers. Almost anyone can make a terrific living while having a cool job.




2) Become a freelancer and let companies finance your job-related travels and pay for your services as well




If you have skills in photography, you can contract some interested companies with your services. The companies will sometimes sponsor your travel expenses and may even pay you further for your services. In exchange, you provide them the quality photos they need for their business.




Also, you can become a freelance journalist or correspondent. You are getting paid to do a job and luckily for you, it involves travel. There are a variety of skill dependent travel jobs. You can work as a freelancer which is quite rewarding both in experience and finance.




3) Have an Internet money-making machine that is fueled by your travels




You can create a site with content about travel and living. You can blog about your exploits and encounters. People will take notice and with technical implementation of SEO and link building, you will soon have a lot of visitors and your traffic will increase. You can make money by selling ad space in your site. Being an Internet affiliate marketer is also a great option. This is a form of passive income and probably, because it is automatic, it's the best kind of income you can get.

Croatia Adventures - Hundreds of Sparkling Waterfalls and More Than a Thousand Islands

Magical adventures

Croatia Hundreds of sparkling waterfalls and more than a thousand islands set amid the blue of the sea, green mountain rivers and streams, virgin canyons, wild karst and mellow plains. In a pleasant climate, with amiable people and experienced guides, you will travel under your own steam through a realm of unfettered nature by kayak, bicycle, raft, under sail; or slowly wend your way through mountain wilderness...

Nestling between the Alps, the Pannonian Plain and the Adriatic Sea, in the south-eastern part of the European continent, Croatia jealously protects eight national parks, ten nature parks and a whole range of special reserves, including plant life, animals, geological formations, hydrological phenomena, all within a small but rich area that can be travelled by car from one end to another in a single day.

Many paths run between rivers, mountain peaks, tiny island ports and beaches, leading to Illyrian hill forts, to Roman ruins, to towns and cities that are themselves monuments, to ethno-entities of popular architecture.

Rafting Rafting as a mode of transport up and down waterways also has a long tradition in Croatia. However, white-water rafting as a modern form of adventure began only in the late 1980s and served to attract notice to the amazing beauty of Croatian rivers which, up until that time, was known only to relatively few kayaking adventurers and fishermen. The founders of the Riverfree Club, pioneers of commercial trips through the rivers and experts on the waterways of Croatia, did not anticipate the Subsequent level of interest and the resulting popularity of rafting on rivers which do not abound with savage rapids and high waves. Nevertheless, thousands of people have since enjoyed their close encounters with the unforgettable magic of rivers, of green river banks, sheer canyons and crystal-clear depths. Rivers in the continental parts of the country are flanked by dense forests and by mountains, while those closer to the sea boost broad green banks and deep and shady mysterious canyons. What they all have in common are greenish clear waters that one can see through right down to the river bed. The grade of difficulty of Croatia's white waters is, on average, grade 3; only on the Rivers Dobra and Una can you encounter grade 4 waters.

Diving The Adriatic's submarine world is a veritable paradise for those who wish to observe o little of the teeming underwater life. Fish and crabs hiding beneath the varied plant world along the rocky shores; shells dug into a sand/ sea bed; a lively, colourful and ever changing world that invites you to dive again and again however long you moy be staying by the sec. With each new dive your eyes are sharper in discovering sea creatures so skilled in hiding themselves from others. Should you want to go deeper and venture further from the shore, an experienced guide will take you to underwater caves, beneath steep cliff faces, among the rocky habitats of fascinating species of fish, shellfish and corals. Sunken galleys, men of war as well as other archaeological finds are in an authentic submarine museum demonstrates the Adriatic's rich and turbulent post, This is the living proof of the wars, adversities, trade and culture of the lands of the Mediterranean. On the surface, the sea is warm and clear, while 30 metres below, the temperature is cooler. There are no large sharks or other predators which would pose a danger to divers, and venomous organisms are rare.
