Malobrojne se zemlje svijeta mogu di~iti ljepotom, bogatstvom i ~arima svoje obale i svojega mora, kulturom prirode poput Hrvatske. Jadransko more, bogato razvedene obale pred kojom ~vrsto usidreno miruje tisu}u okamenjenih brodova - prekrasnih hrvatskih otoka, oto~i}a, grebena i hridi, za mnoge je najljep{e more na svijetu. Hrvatski Jadran, Terra vergine, jedinstveni je prostor na Zemlji, mjesto susreta i povezivanja ljudi. U potrazi za `ivotnom ugodom, mediteranskim duhom, `arom sunca, dahom mora, mirisnom opojno{}u kamena i raslinja u ljetnim mjesecima hrvatska obala vrvi `ivo{}u mno{tva turista. Jadran je izvor ~uda i nadahnu}a, zahvaljuju}i tome nudi neizmjerna zadovoljstva. Pronalaze}i oaze mirna i ugodna boravka ~ovjek izlo`en pogubnom ritmu svakodnevnih `urbi, izlu|enosti i okrutnosti na obalama i otocima Jadrana obnavlja snagu, zaboravlja nemire, strahove i strepnje svakodnevice nametnute nemilosrdnim stilom `ivota. Mnogobrojni turisti u rumenim sutonima, zlatnim zorama, zanosnoj bjelini pla`a, modrilu mora u ~ijoj bistrini i djevi~anskoj ~isto}i tijelo osje}a lagodu i opu{tenost nalaze odmor za du{u i tijelo. Tko mo`e ostati ravnodu{an prema ovim obalama, otocima, neodoljivoj ljepoti mora i ne osjetiti divljenje i nadahnu}e, puninu `ivotne radosti? Putovati i otkrivati nove krajeve oduvijek su ~ovjeku ~inili radosti za oko i ushi}enje za srce. U ovaj ~udesni kutak Mediterana, koji se zavukao duboko pod skute drevne Europe dublje od svih mora, poput valova s otvorene pu~ine, u povijesnim valovima dolazila su i odlazila razna plemena i narodi. Prvi me|u njima za koje znamo bili su Iliri: Enheleji oko Dubrovnika, Dalmati u Dalmaciji, Histri u Istri, Liburni na prostoru od rijeke Ra{e do rijeke Krke, a na otoku Krku Kureti, Kurikte, odnosno Curetes od ~ijeg je imena jo{ u 13. stolje}u poznati splitski histori~ar i politi~ar Toma Arhi|akon izvodio ime Hrvat. I legendarni slijepi Grk Homer u svome je znamenitom spjevu spominjao Koureto, kojeg istra`iva~i povezuju upravo sa stanovnicima otoka Krka. Ba{ka, na pla`i Ba{ka, at the beach 18 Few countries in the world can take pride in the beauty, abundance and charms of their shores and sea as Croatia can. To many, the Adriatic Sea, with its greatly indented coast in front of which lie firmly anchored a thousand petrified ships, the beautiful Croatian islands, reefs and cliffs, is the most beautiful sea in the world. The Croatian Adriatic, Terra vergine, is a unique space on Earth, a place of encounter and connection of people. In search of life’s comfort, the Mediterranean spirit, the warmth of the sun, the breath of the sea, the intoxicating fragrance of the rock and vegetation, in the summer months crowds of tourists fill the Croatian coast with life. The Adriatic is a source of miracles and inspiration because it offers immeasurable pleasures. Exposed to the detrimental rhythm of everyday haste, craze and cruelty, and in search of an oasis of peace and comfortable stay, on the shores and the islands of the Adriatic, man renews his strength, forgets the restlessness, fears and anxieties of the everyday life imposed by a merciless lifestyle. Countless tourists find respite for the soul and the body in the crimson sunsets, golden sunrises, enchanting whiteness of the beaches and blueness of the sea in whose clarity and virgin purity the body feels at ease and relaxed. Who can remain indifferent toward these shores, islands, and the irresistible beauty of the sea, and not sense the fullness of the joy of living, the admiration and inspiration? Travel and discovery of new lands have for man always constituted joy for the eyes and enthusiasm for the heart. Into this miraculous corner of the Mediterranean, which crept deeply under the skirts of ancient Europe, like the waves on the open seas, came and went various tribes and peoples. The first among them known to us were the Illyrians: the Encheleans around Dubrovnik, the Dalmatians in Dalmatia, the Istrians in Istria, the Liburnians inhabiting the area from the Ra{a River to the Krka River, and on the island of Krk the Curets, the Curictas or the Curetes from whose name the renowned Split historian and politician, Thomas the Archdeacon derived the name of Croat as early as the 13 th century. Even the legendary blind Greek, Homer, in his famous epic made a mention of Koureto, which the researchers have linked with the residents of the island of Krk. Throughout the uncertain centuries, the currents of different interests brought various lords and rulers to Krk, an island of irresistible beauty. In the course of the historic reality, for shorter or longer periods of time or alternately, the island was part of the Illyrian,
