Budva dates back to the 5th century BC and therefore is one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic coast. During its 25 centuries of history many foreign powers controlled Budva: Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, Serbs, Venetians, Habsburgs, even Napoleon ruled it from 1807 to 1813. After WWI the town became part of Yugoslavia, first of the Kingdom and after WWII of the Socialist Federal Republic. In 2006 Montenegro finally gained its independance.
With it mighty walls and narrow, cobblestoned alleys Budva is like a smaller copy of Dubrovnik or Kotor even though almost all buildings you see today are reconstructions. Out of over 400 buildings only 8 were left standing after a devestating earthquake struck in town in 1979.

The history of Kotor can be traced back more than 2000 years. The natural harbour provided good protection which later attracted Illyrians already in the 3rd century BC who were followed by the Greeks and Romans. In 168 BC Kotor was mentioned as Ascrivium. At that time began the colonisation by the Romans. At the beginning during the emperor era the town belonged to the Province Dalmatia, then 500 years to Venice, but also Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Hungary and Bosnia had at times occupying power. The Turks tried to sack the city but didn´t succeed to scale the walls. In 1979 UNESCO declared Kotor a World Heritage culture and nature site.
The compact old town is inside the town wall comprised of twisting alleyways and buildings that were built between the 12th and 20th century.
The catholic cathedral is definitely one of the most beautiful churches in Montenegro. It was built in the 12th century. Inside there are sarcophaguses, a treasure-house and an altar, all worth seeing.

In 1278 Hvar was under the rule of Venice. Since then it has been the centre of the island. The buildings dated from 13th - 18th century of which the teatre, built in 1612, is one of the oldest teatres in Europe. Hvar impresses also with its old castle, the arsenal, the town´s loggia, the cathedral and Franciscan monastery.

With its 72 kilometers, the River Krka is the longest in the central Dalmatia and thanks to the 20 km between Knin and Skradin, which occupies the Krka National Park, probably the most spectacular in Europe. Countless rapids, paths, ponds, waterfalls and other karst phenomena, caused by geomorphic processes, shape the course of the river and offer at each point a new and exciting perspective on the ingenuity of the nature.

The symbol of Mostar is the "Old Bridge" or Stari most over the River Neretva, built from 1556 to 1566 by the Ottoman architect Mimar Hajrudin. The town´s name comes from the bridge guardians (Mostar = Bridge Guardian). The "Old Bridge" was destroyed by massive bombardment of the Croatian side in the Bosnian war on 9th November 1993. The reconstruction work began in 1996 and was completed with the ceremonial reopening on 23rd July 2004. The Bridge and the Old Town were inscribed on the World Heritage List of UNESCO on 15th July 2005. Stari Most is supposed to be a symbol of the peaceful coexistence of different people in Mostar and Bosnia-Herzegovina. Near the bridge is the Karagöz Bey Mosque. The Mosque with Medresa (Islamic school) and Sadrvan (Fountain) was built in 1557 and was damaged in the war in Herzegovina, but since then it has been restored.

In 295 AD the Roman Emperor Gaius Diocletian began to build his palace in a calm bay on the Dalmatian coast. Today the palace is the centre of the city Split. The mausoleum of the emperor was converted into a cathedral in the 7th century and is now considered the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world. Outside the cathedral is an original Egyptian Sphinx guard. At the start of the construction it was already 2000 years old.

Die Cetina ist nur etwa 100 km lang, doch diese Strecke genügte dem Fluss, um eine tiefe, spektakuläre Schlucht zu graben. Wasserfälle und Stromschnellen, senkrechte Felswände, schmale Engstellen, unberührte Natur und nicht zuletzt eine enge, kurvige Straße, das gibt es hier zu sehen. Wie viele derartige Landschaften in Kroatien diente natürlich auch diese hier in den 60ern als Kulisse für einen Karl-May-Film: in "Der Ölprinz" spielt die Cetina ihre Rolle als tosender Wildfluss mit Bravur.
