Five Stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
The Maker intended to shape a part of the Earth to the image of Heaven. That is how Istria came into being, like a garden covered with magnificent trees and vast meadows, washed by the deep blue sea, appealing people to a happier life. But the jealous devil destroyed his work by tearing the bag in which the angel was carrying the unused stones.
Connection between Croatia Airlines and Tourism
Ivan Mišetić, Ph.D., President & C.E.O.
Five Stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
For nearly twenty years, the Croatian national carrier Croatia Airlines has been connecting Croatian cities to major European capitals and, from there, to the entire world. We believe that a pleasant flight onboard a Croatia Airlines aircraft is an additional reason for a visit to our beautiful country. Making our passengers feel comfortable and safe on our flights is our own contribution to the development of Croatian tourism and the country’s economy as a whole.
Amazing Croatia
Jakov Sedlar, Film director
Five Stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
And wherever I go, Croatia is with me... that is the ending of a poem by Drago Ivanišević into which the poet had pressed everything possible by a man who loves the country, that had given rise to him, immensely. It seems that all the hidden strength of the generations which longed for freedom and independence, and never lived to see all the things we as a nation have today, is enshrined in that poem.
Arts and Crafts Museum - Past and Present in one Place
Miroslav Gašparović, Headmaster, Museum for Arts and Crafts
Five Stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
Museum for Arts and Crafts is one of the oldest museum institutions in Croatia. The splendid historicist palace is the first and to this day, unfortunately, the only building in Zagreb, originally designed over one century ago by Herman Bollé for the very purpose of a museum. With its neorenaissance facade it emblematically determines the western view of the Maršal Tito Square.

Five stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
Far away from settlements, in the hilly area of Croatian Zagorje, some 80km from Zagreb, on a tall, cone-like hill with a park, in the middle of a park-forest resides the Trakošćan castle. The castle is an important cultural and historical monument. It is now a museum with an original inventory, and with its natural landscape atmosphere it is imbedded in makes a unique, inseparable unity of national importance.

Jorgen Jorgensen, General Manager, The Regent Esplanade Zagreb
Five Stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
Croatia is once again taking its place among the most fashionable destinations of Europe. Its architecture the best preserved its charming cities and the most unspoilt nature. This is especially true of Zagreb, once one of the great centers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and now the exciting capital of modern Croatia. In its 900-year history it has acquired a rich patina of culture and charm.
Travel around the world
Davor Rostuhar, Photographer and author
Five Stars Croatia Issue 4 — April 01, 2009.
I have been travelling around the world intensively since I was 18, paying an immense amount of attention to the study of different cultures and searching for their particularities. I am trying to reach the identity, the distinguishing values that make people special and unique in the global patchwork through them, as living tissue of a society.
Croatia - a country with grand potential

When somebody mentions Croatia, footballers in checkered jerseys, successful athletes and beautiful girls come to your mind. Croatia invites you to experience its beauty and richness! When you visit this amazing country, you will feel the Mediterranean sun and the strength of the wind together with the brutality of Dinara's karst and the abundance of Slavonian plain.
