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. 

The forests of Buzet, Croatia's truffle capital

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.

A small town with about 15,000 inhabitants, Makarska seems to sleep during the year and wait for the summer when its beautiful beaches and facilities attract thousands of tourists from Croatia and all over the world. While the historical centre of Makarska town is quite interesting with its historic, narrow, cobbled streets and Franciscan monastery, the town is completely focused on mass tourism and, as such, seems to have lost some of its charm. Here, everything is done to ensure that you have the most relaxing holiday possible with many hotel resorts on the waterfront as well as restaurants/bars/beach clubs. But this isn't necessarily my idea of a holiday, and so I didn't particularly enjoy Makarska during my stay in Croatia. You'll find equally beautiful beaches on neighbouring islands without having to end up next to hundreds of towels...
