CROATIA

CROATIA 

Beyond the ordinary

DEAR TRAVELLER 

As a child, I was privileged to travel the world, 

my senses overwhelmed by this astonishing 

planet’s beauty and diversity. Bitten by that 

bug, it is little wonder that today I dedicate my 

working life to making extraordinary travel 

experiences available to Transun guests.

independent tour operators, with 

a 30-year pedigree of pioneering destinations 

both in Europe and the Near and Far East.

HAND-PICKED AND TAILORED TO YOU… 

Welcome to Transun’s latest Croatia Brochure. We hope it will give you an evocative flavour of 

how special a holiday in Croatia can be. Our brochure is intended to whet your appetite and you

Croatia was once the land known as Ilyria, setting for Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, and we 

believe the enduring grandeur of the country’s scenery is well-matched by the grandeur of the 

Bard’s writing.

on-the-ground experience. And every hotel has been hand-picked for its unique qualities. 

Because at Transun, we are dedicated to taking the guesswork out of travel – by sharing our 

knowledge and expertise with you.

EUROPE’S ‘IT’ DESTINATION 

‘The Mediterranean as it once was’ says the 

tourist board advertising for Croatia. But we 

believe Mediterranean holidays have never 

been as good as this! 

Even for seasoned Croatia specialists 

like ourselves, there’s a growing sense of 

excitement and glamour surrounding Croatia’s 

spectacularly beautiful Mediterranean coast. 

Historic towns like Dubrovnik and Hvar 

have developed an undoubted star appeal, 

where days spent in languorous sun worship 

are followed by a lively night life. Celebrityspotting, 

with your designer cocktail in hand, 

is all the rage, while the rich and famous park 

their ‘gin palace’ yachts nearby. 

But for those who seek peace and quiet, 

Croatia offers tranquillity in abundance, with 

quiet fishing villages, secluded coves and idyllic 

islands all waiting for your visit. 

Croatia’s food and wines are 

often overlooked. Throughout this 

brochure we highlight just some of the 

region’s gastronomic credentials. 

Families love the many safe beaches, and 

there are activities galore, whatever your age 

or interests. 

And don’t just take our word for it. This is 

what the authoritative Lonely Planet guide has 

to say: ‘Croatia’s rare blend of glamour and 

old-fashioned authenticity make this Europe’s 

‘it’ destination, where beaches and sunshine 

vie for attention with cultural treasures, 

ancient architecture and time-tested folk 

traditions.’ 

We couldn’t agree more. Whether you 

want to explore historic cities, kick back on a 

scenic beach or perhaps explore the Croatian 

coastline on an island-hopping cruise boat, 

you will find the perfect holiday here, created 

for you by one of the UK’s leading Croatia 

specialists. 

To move, to breathe, to fly, to 

float; to gain all while you give; 

to roam the roads of lands 

remote; to travel is to live.

BEST TIME TO TRAVEL 

Croatia’s stunning islands and warm 

Mediterranean climate make for the perfect 

summer holiday destination. Spring and 

Autumn are a great time for sightseeing, there 

is plenty of history and charm to uncover in 

the medieval streets of Dubrovnik and Split 

when the temperatures are cool enough to 

truly explore Croatia’s hidden treasures. July 

and August can be the most popular months to 

visit the Adriatic coast resulting in crowds, but 

temperatures boast an average of 30C, making 

it a good time to enjoy the warm sea and 

Croatia’s vibrant social scene.

Hotel Stari Grad 

DUBROVNIK: 

UNIQUE AND UNFORGETTABLE 

Dubrovnik is unlike any city you have ever visited 

before. An experience, not just a destination. A 

step back through its massive stone walls into a 

past of sieges and naval battles, heroic deeds and 

historic events. 

Dubrovnik is perfect for everyone who 

believes a break shouldn’t just be about sitting on 

a beach. This wonderfully preserved medieval 

city’s marble streets and baroque buildings are 

a treasure trove of history, beauty and artistic 

delights, beyond which lies the eternal azure 

shimmer of the Adriatic Sea. 

There are beaches to escape to close by, for 

when you need to relax, and within the Old 

Town’s mighty walls, there is a warren of narrow 

alleyways and streets waiting to be explored. 

Here, architectural treasures await at every 

turn, such as the Rector’s Palace, cathedral 

and the city gates. In the 15th Century the city 

was a mighty republic known as Ragusa and a 

maritime power to rival Venice. 

To the north of the city, a cable car whisks 

visitors to a mountain top for spectacular views 

of the city’s red tiled roofs and, beyond, the 

nearby island of lokrum, where Richard the 

Lionheart is said to once have been shipwrecked. 

But Dubrovnik is not a dusty old museum 

piece. Instead, it is a lively, fashionable city, 

inspiring awe and delight in all who visit it, and 

offering exciting modern lifestyle options such 

as elegant designer boutiques and a plethora of 

wonderful places to eat, drink and relax. You will 

undoubtedly develop a taste for Posip, that finest 

of light white Dalmatian wines. 

PUCIC PALACE 

A 17th century baroque building in Gundulic 

Square, the cultural heart of Dubrovnik’s Old 

Town, the Pucic Palace is a tranquil retreat 

from the city’s hustle and bustle. The hotel 

has just 17 luxury rooms and two suites, 

creating an exclusive and intimate experience. 

n Why we chose it: This former 

nobleman’s house offers the highest-ranked 

accommodation within Dubrovnik’s ancient 

city walls, putting you at the heart of this 

amazing city’s daily life. 

HOTEL STARI GRAD 

Fully renovated in 2013 and situated on 

a quiet street yet just steps away from the 

vibrant Stradun, this historic residence offers 

eight spacious guest bedrooms and free 

wi-fi in all areas. Guests can enjoy terrace 

views over the rooftops of the Old Town. A 

TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice winner 2013. 

n Why we chose it: Dubrovnik’s only 

other hotel located within the city walls, 

making a visit to this historic city a truly 

unique experience. 

RIXOS LIBERTAS 

This unique hotel is set into a cliff, meaning 

the majority of its 250 air-conditioned 

rooms benefit from a balcony with a sea 

view, which is one of our favourite things 

about the Rixos. This modern hotel has a 

small indoor plunge pool and large outdoor 

swimming pool, as well as direct step access 

into the Adriatic sea. Located around 1.6k 

– a 20-minute walk – from the historic Old 

Town’s northern gate. 

n Why we chose it: Each room has its 

own balcony overlooking the sea, while the 

Old Town is within walking distance. 

HOTEL ZAGREB 

Set amidst lush gardens and pine trees, the 

charming Hotel Zagreb dates back to the 

Austro-Hungarian era but refurbished in 

2005. The hotel is close to two waterfront 

locations, including a thriving pedestrian 

boulevard of shops, cafes and restaurants. 

Dubrovnik Old Town is 3km away and easily 

reached by bus. 

n Why we chose it: This is our 

most affordable hotel in Dubrovnik, a 

traditional resort-style hotel in an ‘awayfor-it-all’ 

location yet within easy access of 

Dubrovnik’s attractions. 

Hotel Zagreb 


HVAR: THE INSIDER’S ISLAND 

Long warm days, old stone homes and fields 

of lavender all characterise beautiful Hvar. 

Lush vineyards nestling at the foot of ragged 

mountains, gorgeous beaches with secluded 

coves, tempting restaurants, boutiques, and 

a renowned nightlife in Hvar Town are just a 

few of the treats in store. 

Only an hour by fast ferry from Split, 

architecturally charming Hvar Town is at 

once both venerable and trendy. In the old 

town, citrus, bougainvillea and pomegranates 

spill over the tops of walled gardens, while 

every turn provides a glimpse of the cerulean 

sea through a narrow street vista or an 

architectural detail. 

The Town Square is a delight to explore. 

The hvarska gregada is a typical 

fisherman’s dish from the island of 

Hvar, with different types of fish cooked 

in a pan alongside potatoes, herbs and 

white wine. 

There is also a fortress at the top of the 

hill that’s worth the trek, because of the 

wonderful views. 

It has been described by The Traveller 

magazine as ‘one of the ten most beautiful 

islands of the world’, but Hvar is not just a 

playground for the rich and famous who flock 

here. This is a delightful destination whatever 

your taste and budget. 

Vogue magazine, that achingly stylish bible 

for the fashion-conscious is unreserved in 

its praise for Hvar. They write: The town of 

Hvar is rapidly turning into one of the coolest 

destinations in the Mediterranean, this not just 

thanks to its beautiful landscape and historical 

heritage but also thanks to its busy port and 

the lively nightlife venues.’ 

The magazine wasn’t slow to notice Hvar’s 

fashionable shopping opportunities too! 


Hotel Adriana 

Hotel Villa Dalmacija 

Hotel Riva 

HOTEL ADRIANA 

On the promenade beside the harbour, 

facing the old city centre, the Adriana is 

Hvar’s most stylish hotel, with views over 

the Old Town. Named as one of Europe’s 

coolest hotels by the Sunday Times, the 

modern Adriana has a year-round rooftop 

seawater swimming pool, restaurant, 

spectacular Top Bar for panoramic views 

and the Sensori Spa, a member of the 

Leading Spas of the World. 

n Why we chose it: Hvar’s most stylish 

hotel offering everything you might need 

for a complete, modern hotel experience. 

HOTEL RIVA 

Overlooking the waterfront promenade in 

the heart of Hvar Old Town, the design of 

Riva is inspired by old Hollywood glamour. 

Incorporating a beautiful 100-year-old 

building, Riva blends old world charm and 

state of-the-art luxury. Its rooms feature 

contemporary design and furnishings and an 

exceptional view, combined with a front row 

overview of the Hvar party scene. 

n Why we chose it: Enjoys undoubtedly 

the best location in Hvar along the harbour side 

where the ‘gin palaces’ of the rich and famous 

are often moored. 

HOTEL VILLA 

DALMACIJA 

A perfect choice for guests who appreciate 

the simplicity of traditional Dalmatian 

ambience, the Hotel Villa Dalmacija is 

housed in an old Hvar-stone building 

overlooking the Franciscan monastery 

and Hvar bay. The atmosphere here is 

intimate and personal. Rooms are simple, 

yet comfortable and affordable, providing 

straightforward comfort while capturing the 

Mediterranean character of a simpler time. 

n Why we chose it: The Dalmacija is the 

most cost-effective hotel for those who want 

to stay within vibrant Hvar Town.

Hotel Marco Polo 

Hotel Korsal 

KORCULA: ISLAND OF DREAMS 

Here at Transun, the dreaming, idyllic island of 

Korcula haunts our memories, conjuring images 

of endless summer days of sunshine, laughter, 

happiness, quiet tranquility and a white wine 

called Grk that really is the nectar of the gods. 

Separated from the mainland’s Pelješac 

Peninsula by a narrow channel, Korcula is rich 

in vineyards, olive groves and sleepy villages. 

And scattered along its azure coast are tiny bays 

and delightful beaches. 

The island was once densely wooded, leading 

the original Greek settlers to call the island 

Korkyra Melaina (Black Korcula). 

The island’s main settlement, Korcula Town, 

is a Dubrovnik in miniature, a gorgeous grid 

of marble streets and historic architecture. 

Exploring these narrow streets, within the 

embrace of the ancient defensive walls, is 

a delight. There are fascinating shops, art 

galleries and delightful restaurants waiting to 

be discovered, as well as Venetian Renaissance 

architecture, dominated by the splendid 15th 

Century St Mark’s Cathedral built in the Gothic- 

Renaissance style. Here too you will find the 

house said to have been the home of the great 

explorer Marco Polo. 

Being famous stonemasons, shipbuilders and 

seafarers, the people of Korcula left their mark 

all over the world, but they saved their best 

works for their own city. 

The island’s steep southern coast is dotted 

with little coves and peaceful beaches, while the 

flatter northern shore is rich in natural harbours. 

Out in the countryside, tradition still abounds on 

Korcula, with long-revered religious ceremonies, 

folk music and dances still being performed 

despite the growth of tourism. 

Close to Korcula Town lies the somnolent 

village of Lumbarda, its shoreline flanked 

with pine and mimosa, where walks through 

vivid green vineyards bring you to a choice 

of beautiful quiet sandy beaches. And those 

vineyards produce the grapes that make 

the delicious local Grk wine, fabled among 

oenophiles, that ensure your every holiday meal 

is memorable. 

HOTEL MARCO POLO 

A modern, holiday hotel, set close to Korcula’s 

Old Town, with a range of amenities including 

indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and set 

beside a narrow beach. Other facilities are shared 

with sister hotels and include a tennis court, 

bicycles for hire, sailing and windsurfing centre 

and minigolf. All rooms are air conditioned. 

n Why we chose it: Unpretentious 

but clean and well run, the Marco Polo offers 

you the historic Old Town within a 15-minute 

walk as well as a host of holiday amenities. 

HOTEL KORSAL 

Located just a two-minute stroll from the 

fortified walls of Korcula’s Old Town and close 

to the marina, all ten rooms at the Hotel Korsal 

are modern and comfortable and provide 

views to the sea across a small local beach. 

All rooms have mini bar, satellite TV LCD, 

free wi-fi, telephone, air conditioning, heating 

and comfortable bathrooms with underfloor 

heating. The hotel’s traditional restaurant, with 

a spacious outdoor terrace providing views 

of the sea, makes an ideal setting for lunch 

or dinner. The hotel is a recent renovation 

of a historic building and was a TripAdvisor 

Certificate of Excellence winner in 2014. 

n Why we chose it: Friendly staff, a 

quiet location and stunning sea views 

from every room. 

See Limited Edition, pages 32-33, 

for another Korcula hotel option.

Hotel San Georgio 

VIS: THE ISLAND TIME FORGOT 

The beautiful island of Vis has a fascinating 

history. An Allied outpost during the Second 

World War, it was closed for decades as a 

strategic military fort during communist 

rule in the former Yugoslavia. Now fully open, 

the island offers rich benefits from its half a 

century of seclusion, as if frozen in time, with 

beautiful beaches, unspoiled nature, ancient 

agricultural methods and traditional architecture. 

Travellers are now drawn to Vis, seeking 

out its authenticity, nature, gastronomy and 

complete peace and quiet. Vis produces some 

of Croatia’s best-known wines, including vugava 

(white) and plavac (red), and vineyards cover 

much of the island. It is said that the first grape 

vine in Dalmatia was planted by the ancient 

Greeks and that it was planted on a Vis field. 

And a thriving fishing tradition means you 

will taste some of the freshest seafood here. 

The small town of Komiza, one of the island’s 

two main settlements, is considered the cradle 

of fishing in the Adriatic, and in times gone 

by, the Komiza fishermen were renowned 

throughout the Mediterranean as experts in 

their field. Today the town’s Fishing Museum 

pays testament to the history of the fishermen 

of Vis. 

The rugged coast around the island is 

dotted with gorgeous coves – frequented by 

loggerhead turtles and bottlenose dolphins 

– caves and a couple of sandy beaches. 

All along the Croatian coast, the 

tradition of grilling fish has been 

carried down from generation to generation, 

the taste depending on the technique and 

the wood chosen. 

Remnants of the island’s antiquity, displayed 

in the Archaeological Museum and elsewhere 

around Vis Town, offer a fascinating insight 

into the complex character of this tiny island, 

which has become a destination for in-theknow 

travellers. 

HOTEL SAN GEORGIO 

Set in the historic part of Vis Town, located 

beside the marina and a 15-minute walk from 

the ferry, the Hotel San Georgio has a garden 

rich with palms, lemon and orange trees, 

where breakfast is served. The San Georgio is 

remembered with affection by those who stay 

there, for its quiet charm, its clean, modern 

rooms and staff who go out of their way to 

help you. 

n Why we chose it: Vis’s best-kept 

secret. Ssssh, let’s try to keep it that way! 


Hotel Slavija, Split 

SPLIT: ANCIENT AND MODERN 

Roman emperor Diocletian built his retirement 

home in Split and 2,000 years later, his 

palace remains the beating heart of this lively 

Adriatic city. Amid the atmospheric old walls 

of Diocletian’s Palace, today a UNESCO world 

heritage site, there are thriving shops, bars, 

restaurants and even our recommended hotel! Set 

beneath dramatic mountains, Split is the gateway 

to Croatia’s islands, increasingly a destination 

for the hip and the fashionable. But Split itself, 

a perfect mix of tradition and modernity, is 

well worth a lingering look, rewarding you with 

culture, history and enduring style, before you 

head off for more sybaritic pursuits. 

The city is centred on what is probably the 

best preserved Roman palace in the world. 

Among the ancient treasures you will find 

here are St. Duje’s cathedral (originally built as 

Diocletian’s mausoleum and a beautiful mixture 

of Roman temple and Catholic church, with a 

splendid belltower offering a great panoramic 

view of Split, the nearby islands and Marjan 

hill), the Peristylium (the palace’s main square), 

According to legend, emperor 

Diocletian loved drinking Dalmatian 

Prosec wine in his palace in Split. Not to 

be confused with sparkling Italian Prosecco, 

Prosec is a still wine with a dark-copper 

colour and an aroma of matured grapes. 

the ancient Jupiter’s Temple and two original 

Sphinxes brought from Egypt by Diocletian. 

Elsewhere, you can sunbathe and swim on 

one of the surrounding beaches. Bacvice, though 

crowded, is popular with the locals and will 

immerse you in the Croatian lifestyle. So too will 

a visit to the Poljud stadium, home to Dalmatia’s 

fervently supported football team, Hadjuk Split. 

Then there are the charming streets and 

beautiful small houses of Varoš, one of the oldest 

parts of town, once home to the city peasants 

and fishermen. If yet more culture appeals, visit 

the Archeological Museum or Galerija Meštrovic, 

which contains works of Ivan Meštrovic, the 

famous Croatian sculptor. 

HOTEL SLAVIJA, SPLIT 

Situated within the walls of Diocletian’s Palace, the 

Hotel Slavija is perfect for short stays in medieval 

Split. The 16th century building was built over the 

site of the old Roman baths, and there are historic 

touches throughout. There are 25 comfortable, ensuite 

rooms, each with air conditioning, bath tub, 

satellite TV and internet, while some offer terraces 

with views over the rooftops, church towers and 

narrow streets of the old town. 

n Why we chose it: Staying within the walls of 

a Roman Emperor’s palace! Need we say more 

Beguile the time, and feed 

your knowledge with viewing 

of the town. 



DALMATIA CRUISING 

With gems such as the medieval city of 

Dubrovnik and the beautiful island of Hvar, 

‘the new St Tropez’, Croatia offers a dazzling 

choice of tempting destinations. 

And what better way of seeing them than 

on a relaxing cruise, calling in at some of 

Croatia’s most scenic destinations. 

Your cabin will be aboard a beautiful vessel, 

ideal for island hopping, and small enough to 

visit some of Croatia’s smaller ports of call, 

out of the reach of the big cruise liners. 

The fully-crewed boats we select are 

strictly Category A+ and above, being 

newly-built craft with air-conditioned cabins 

with en suite facilities, sundecks for relaxing 

and a welcoming restaurant providing half 

board. Deluxe category boats are available 

for some departures. 

Our boats average around 20 cabins, a far 

cry from the huge, ‘block of flats’ cruise liners, 

making your Croatia island hopping holiday a 

friendly and intimate experience. 

Each day you will enjoy the delights of a 

new port of call, often stopping to swim in 

crystal clear waters. As your vessel travels 

between destinations, the glorious coastline 

of Croatia slips in and out of view, while 

occasionally pods of dolphins might playfully 

accompany your voyage for a while. 

And with half board included, we think 

you will agree that our one-week cruises offer 

not just blissful relaxation and a variety of 

fascinating destinations but amazing holiday 

value-for-money too. 

A number of exciting itineraries are 

available to choose from. For example, 

you might opt for the Croatia Island 

Hopping voyage, a seven-night round 

trip from Split, calling in at the beautiful 

Makarska Riviera, the delightful island 

of Mjlet, with its tranquil lakes and 12th 

Century monastery, fabulous Dubrovnik, 

the pearl of the Adriatic, Korcula, 

probably our favourite Croatian island, and 

fashionable Hvar with its peaceful Palkeni 

islands and fabled high-season nightlife, with 

time for a guided tour back in Split before 

your return flight. 

Other options include the Dalmatian 

Voyage, a seven-night round-trip sailing from 

Dubrovnik, and Southern Pearls, a one-way 

voyage setting out from Split and finishing 

in Dubrovnik, or vise versa. Full details are 

available on our website. 

A ship in the harbour is safe, 

but that’s not what ships are 

built for.

Hotel Jezero 

PLITVICE: A MIRACLE OF NATURE 

If you’ve never visited Croatia’s Plitvice 

Lakes, what are you waiting for Put simply, 

this is one of the most amazingly scenic 

locations in the whole of Europe. The beauty 

of the National Park lies in its 16 lakes, 

interconnected by a series of spectacular 

waterfalls, and set in deep woodland 

populated by deer, bears, wolves, boars and 

rare bird species, as well as frogs and fish. The 

Plitvice Lakes National Park is, quite rightly, 

Croatia’s most popular tourist attraction and 

was granted UNESCO World Heritage status 

in 1979. 

The lakes are renowned for their distinctive 

colours, ranging from azure to green, grey 

or blue. The colours change constantly 

depending on the quantity of minerals or 

organisms in the water and the angle of 

sunlight. 

You can choose from different paths around 

the lakes, ranging in both time and difficulty. 

The views are simply spectacular. Some trails 

Croatian brodet, or fish stew, is 

perhaps the coastal region’s most 

famous fish dish, while Scampi Buzara, 

grilled sardines, crni rizoto (cuttlefish risotto), 

and bakalar (dried cod) are also unforgettable. 

have boat and bus transfers (included in the 

entrance price) to save time. The paths are 

very well maintained and consist of wooden 

planks, gravel, rocks, and steps. 

Special attractions at Plitvice include the 

Veliki Splat, a 100ft waterfall surrounded by 

nearby boulders to which tourists have access. 

There is also a large waterfall complex that 

can be access via a cave in the surrounding 

rock face. Keep in mind that, in order to 

preserve Plitvice’s unique habitat, swimming is 

not allowed anywhere in the park. 

Visitors to Plitvice can stop off at the 

Dalmatian Ethno Village near Sibenik, a 

faithfully recreated traditional village where 

guests enjoy homemade bread baked in a 

traditional oven from flour crushed in the 

village’s centuries-old mills, as well as sampling 

other traditional produce such as brandy, wine 

and olive oil. 

HOTEL JEZERO 

Situated in the very heart of the Plitvice Lakes 

National Park, only 300 metres from the largest 

lake, Kozjak, the Jezero has 229 rooms and 

is a busy tourist hotel. Rooms on the lake side 

are equipped with bathrooms with bathtubs, 

while the rooms on the forest side have 

shower cabins. Designed to integrate with its 

surroundings, the hotel offers a café bar, a gym, 

complimentary use of the whirlpool massage, 

two Finnish saunas and a Turkish bath (at extra 

charge). 

n Why we chose it: A busy tourist hotel, 

yes, but wonderfully located right at the heart 

of the National Park.

Shangri La Mansion 

MOSTAR: A BRIDGE INTO HISTORY 

At the heart of Mostar lies an enchanting, iconic 

scene: a stone bridge shaped like a rainbow that 

impossibly spans two ancient riverbanks. 

The historic city of Mostar, in Bosnia and 

Herzegovina, was in fact named after the bridge 

keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times 

guarded the fabled Stari Most (Old Bridge) over 

the River Neretva. 

Commissioned in 1557 by the great 

Ottoman emperor Suleiman the Magnificent, 

the Old Bridge was considered one of the most 

exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the 

Balkans. The 17th Century traveller Evliya 

Çelebi wrote: ‘The bridge is like a rainbow arch 

soaring up to the skies …. I have never seen 

such a high bridge. It is thrown from rock to 

rock as high as the sky.’ 

The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until it 

was tragically destroyed on November 9, 1993, 

during the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

Newspapers reported that more than 60 shells 

hit the bridge before it collapsed. After the war, 

thanks to international aid, the bridge was rebuilt 

as close to the original as possible, using the 

Delicious meat dishes include 

Dalmatian prsut, smoked ham dried in 

the bura (north-eastern wind) and janjetina 

ispod peke, lamb prepared in the traditional 

way under a metal cover. 

same technology and materials. 

Today, the bridge is once again the iconic 

centrepiece of an historic city, standing in 

defiance of man’s worst excesses. And it is a 

sight best enjoyed in the evening after summer’s 

hoards of daytrippers have departed. 

It’s an enchanting scene. At dusk, the lights 

of numerous millhouse restaurants can be 

seen across leaping streamlets, while narrow 

Kujundžiluk, or ‘gold alley’, is alive with trinket 

sellers. 

Mostar is ideal for a one or two-night visit. 

Elsewhere, this fascinating city’s don’t-miss 

sites include the Bishop’s Ordinariate building, 

the remains of the Early Christian Basilica 

Cim, the public Turkish bath or hammam, the 

clock tower, various magnificent mosques from 

the 16th Century, the Franciscan Monastery, 

magnificent Ottoman residences, the Crooked 

Bridge and the Tara and Halebija Towers. 

SHANGRI LA MANSION 

Wonderfully located up a small hill at the 

heart of Mostar just 100 metres from the Old 

bridge, the Shangri La Mansion is a boutique 

hotel set in an historic building dating from 

1887 which has been recently renovated 

providing modern, minimalist interiors. The 

hotel offers eight spacious and tastefully 

decorated rooms and all include an en-suite 

bathroom, air conditioning, TV, wi-fi and 

desk. A fabulous bonus is the hotel’s large 

rooftop terrace garden, which provides 

panoramic views over Mostar. 

n Why we chose it: Friendly and helpful 

owners and staff, a great location and those 

fabulous rooftop views! 

See Limited Edition, pages 32-33, 

for another Mostar hotel option.

SARAJEVO: EAST MEETS WEST 

Sarajevo will always be remembered as the 

city where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was 

assassinated, thus triggering the Great War in 

1914, now more than 100 years ago. 

But Sarajevo is one of the most 

historically interesting and varied cities in 

Europe. The city, which during the Bosnian 

War also suffered the longest siege of 

any city in modern times, has culture and 

character that far outshine its troubled role 

in modern history. 

Sarajevo, capital of Bosnia and 

Herzegovina, is a place where the people 

of the Roman Catholic west, the Eastern 

Orthodox east and the Ottoman south, met, 

lived and warred. It has been both an example 

of historical turbulence and the clash of 

civilizations, as well as a beacon of hope for 

peace and tolerance through multi-cultural 

integration. 

A walk through Sarajevo is a walk through 

its past. Here, the Byzantine and Ottoman 

empires of the East and the Roman, Venetian 

and Austro-Hungarian empires of the West 

left their indelible marks through culture, 

traditions and religions. From the oriental 

Ottoman quarters lined with sweet shops, 

cafés and handicraft workshops, to the 

administrative and cultural centre of Austro- 

Hungarian times, Sarajevo encompasses a 

host of cultures and reminders of empires, 

their legacy being the numerous churches 

and mosques. 

Those with a renewed interest in the Great 

War following 2014’s centenary events can 

visit the spot, just across the Latin Bridge, 

where Gavrilo Princip shot Archduke Franz 

Ferdinand and set the momentous events of 

the First World War in motion. 

In the Old Town, the cobbled streets, 

mosques and Oriental style shops are a world 

away from Europe. In Sarajevo, you can 

actually be walking by a Catholic church, 

an Orthodox church and a Synagogue and 

listening to the Islamic call to prayer all at the 

same time. Perfect for a one or two-night visit. 

ART HOTEL 

A very modern building, yet located at the 

centre of the Old Town, where Ottoman and 

Austro-Hungarian architectural gems rub 

shoulders. The hotel’s Restaurant Maroko is 

decorated with carefully chosen works by local 

artists. The 28 comfortable rooms all have wifi 

and satellite television. 

n Why we chose it: Sometimes location 

can be everything and the Art Hotel’s nofrills 

accommodation is compensated by a 

highly-convenient location for access to the 

city’s Old Town. 

HOTEL BRISTOL 

Providing international standard hotel 

accommodation, and voted Bosnia’s leading 

hotel in the 2012 World Travel Awards, 

the Hotel Bristol is located by the Miljacka 

River on one of Sarajevo’s most popular 

promenades, Wilson’s Lane. The hotel’s 

186 rooms and suites offer unique designs 

and panoramic views of the city. Facilities 

include two restaurants, wifi, room service and 

wellness programmes. 

n Why we chose it: A ten-minute drive 

from the Old Town, the Bristol provides a 

host of modern comforts after exploring one 

of history’s far-flung gems.

Once you have travelled, the voyage never

Muslibegović House 

Muslibegović House 

Hotel Lesic Dimitri Palace 

LIMITED EDITION 

Some accommodation simply defies definition 

and description. Unique, special, and 

courageously individual, these properties 

provide a holiday sanctuary unlike anything 

else, anywhere. Such hotels are few and 

far between but in Croatia, we are pleased 

to reveal, we have found two such havens, 

very special places that merit our Limited 

Edition accolade. Such sumptuous living, such 

attention to detail, comes at a cost, of course. 

But if you want to add a memorable night or 

two at one of these exceptional oases, we 

cannot recommend them enough! 

Cevapi is to Bosnia what the hamburger 

is to America. Cevapi are little rolled 

beef sausages classically served with bread, 

diced onion, and kajmak (a Bosnian cheese). 

MUSLIBEGOVIĆ HOUSE 

Now you can sample the lifestyle of an 

Ottoman nobleman while staying in Mostar, 

the renowned old town in Bosnia blessed 

with an iconic bridge (see pages 26-27). 

The historic interior of Muslibegovic House, 

dating back to the late 18th Century, has 

been restored and furnished with artefacts 

and works of art from the Ottoman period. 

Part national monument, part museum, part 

hotel, this historic complex is unlike any 

hotel you have stayed in before and in 2010 

was listed among the world’s ten best places 

to stay by Expedia. 12 luxury bedrooms and 

suites, a graceful blend of past and present. 

n Why we chose it: Unique rooms set in 

beautiful grounds yet within walking distance 

of Mostar’s Stari Most, or Old Bridge. 

HOTEL LESIC 

DIMITRI PALACE 

Set within beautifully preserved medieval 

stonework, and located within the 

atmospheric Old Town of Korcula (see 

pages 16-17), the Lesic Dimitri Palace is a 

fabulously stylish and playful ‘apart-hotel’ 

with five residences, which range from one 

to three bedrooms each. They feature daring 

interior design by Thai architect Attayut 

Piravinich, such as open-plan bedrooms 

with free-standing bathtubs, as well as funky 

modern furniture, high-tech kitchens and 

cool mood lighting. 

n Why we chose it: Elegant modern 

luxury set within the walls of an 18th Century 

bishop’s palace and five nearby cottages, all 

transformed with style and panache.

VILLAS: WE PICK THE BEST 

Sometimes, a private villa can be your best 

holiday option in Croatia. If you are travelling 

as a large group or just prefer tranquillity 

and seclusion, a villa will provide you with 

the benefit and freedom of your own private 

accommodation, often enjoying a stunning 

location. What’s more, if you rent a car, 

you have the opportunity to use your villa 

as a base for exploring Croatia’s stunning 

coastline. Here, we feature just three of the 

villas Transun offers in Croatia, to provide but 

a taste of the accommodation available. A call 

to our specialist Croatia advisors will soon help 

you select a villa best suited to your holiday 

requirements. 

CASA SVIRACINA, HVAR 

We think this is a lovely way to enjoy magical 

Hvar (see pages 14-15) if you are travelling 

as a large family or group. Casa Sviracina is a 

20-year-old private home in a magical, quiet 

bay, ten minutes from Hvar Town. With the sea 

immediately outside and shady woods all around, 

the setting is delightful. The Mediterranean’s 

special scents of wild rosemary, sage, basil and 

oregano fill the air and the gentle lapping sea 

provides a soothing background. 

The house has been redesigned and 

updated with loving attention to detail. The 

accommodation is arranged as a living area on 

the ground floor and six bedrooms with two 

spacious and modern bathrooms with shower, 

separate jacuzzi and granite worktops, on the first 

floor. With six air-conditioned bedrooms (two en 

suite), up to 12 people can be accommodated, 

which could easily consist of two families 

holidaying together. Two further guests can be 

accommodated on comfortable fold-up beds. 

There are outside-access staircases to the 

first-floor bedrooms from both sides and a 

magnificent balcony the length of the house 

overlooking the sea and woods. 

Ground-floor facilities include a fully equipped 

kitchen with two electric cookers, washing 

machine, dishwasher, two fridges and a full range 

of cooking equipment. There is also a spacious

dining area with table and chairs and a large

French windows lead onto the vine-covered

Daily maid service and car rental can be 

provided, at extra cost, as can a chef and butler, 

should you choose.

restaurants have their own fishing boats, so 

you are assured of the freshness. 

located on the private island of Vela Sestrica, 

between beautiful Korcula (see pages 16-17) 

and the Croatian mainland. 

With a small outdoor pool and a private 

beach area, this solar powered four-bedroom, 

two-bathroom villa was converted from a 

lighthouse built in 1871 and fully renovated in 

2014. Sleeping up to nine persons, the villa 

overlooks the sea on all sides and offers free wi-fi, 

a living room with a TV and a DVD player, a 

fully equipped kitchen with a dining area and 

barbecue facilities in the garden. The bathroom 

features a spa bath and shower cabin. 

A free boat transfer is provided on arrival 

and departure, and there is a butler available 

should you require them. Food can be ordered 

from a restaurant and is delivered directly to 

the villa. 

The mainland town of Orebic is a short boat 

ride away, as is Korcula Town. Transfers to each 

can be organised, with local charges applying. 

And for those hoping for a restful holiday, 

don’t worry! Your duties do not include lighting 

the lamp each night!
