Croatia is proud of her islands – and with a good reason. Out of about 1,000 only 66 are permanently inhabited - each of them is its own, different world. The island people keep to their tradition but who can blame them.
To get the most out of these islands, the visitor must take his / her time. Why not forget about the car / speed boat for a day. Walk, bike or paddle a kayak the shore line, where the sea life is abundant, rich and colourful. Make sure you bring a diving mask, finns and a snorkel in your kayak. You need not go deep to experince the older, quieter and happier world below.
BODUL is a person living on an island, where it is usual to spend an evening in front of KONOBA (a local tavern) playing BALOTE (bowls) and where BEVANDA (red wine with water) is enjoyed together with fresh RIBA (fish) from the GRADELE (grill) and music from KLAPA (male vocal group) whose songs are usually about MORE (sea) and LJUBAV (love).
