If you're a food lover, be sure to do a car tour of the Buzet region of northern Istria, which lies not far from the Slovenian border.  The area's rolling, verdant landscapes are simply magnificent, and it is considered one of Croatia's main gastronomic regions.

A magnificent series of vegetation-covered islands, the archipelago lying off the west coast of Istria and formed by two large islands, Veliki Brijun and Mail Brijun, and twelve islets was chosen by Marshall Tito as the location of his summer residence and as a place where he could receive and host his visitors, especially the heads of the non-aligned states.

After visiting Vukovar during my trip, I made a brief stop at Đakovo. It is a quaint and charming little town. I especially remember the large market square here, with local shops all around its edge, and the red-brick Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul, which is unusually large for a town with such a small population.  Though Đakovo is famous for breeding Lipizzan horses, I did not actually get the chance to explore this aspect of the region.  It was through visiting Đakovo and other little towns and villages in the this area that I was able to discover and experience the various wonderful things the region has to offer, such as its culinary specialities, its local produce, etc. Slavonia is a little-visited region, and much less popular with tourists than the coastal areas of Croatia. However, it was precisely the traditional authenticity the area has to offer and the fact you can get much closer to the genuine local people here that I found so charming about the place.
