The Birthplace Of Marco Polo Welcomes The Welcome Team, Who Reach Korcula With A Mixture Of Canoe And Bike To Close The ‘M ‘ In Welcome

The purpose of the project is to spotlight Croatia’s natural beauty, rich cultural heritage and wide ranging tourism offer by travelling the length of the country using assorted journey sports systems of transport along a winding route which spells out the word “Welcome.” The route will be apparent from Google Earth, permitting Croatian tourism to claim the title of the planet’s largest welcome.

Leaving the protected bay at Loviste, the team headed to the island of Korcula by canoe, coming up against windy conditions in the open sea and, while they needed to proceed with caution at certain times it did not prevent them from socialising with numerous sea turtles whom they came up against on the route.

After a short swim, the team paddled to the village of Babina on the north coast, where a decision was taken to change the intended route after locals informed them about routes to a large wooded ravine.

Making the switch to bikes, the Welcome team made their way to the unknown Kocje nature park, a natural phenomenon not faced anywhere else on the trip. Kocje is a powerful collection of limestone rock, as high as 20m in parts, hidden by dense foliage. The effect is a natural warren of tunnels, cracks and caves with much of the rock covered in green moss.

Kojce has been announced a specifically protected reserve of forest vegetation, and some archaeologists believe it was inhabited by primeval man. A more engaging concept has been put forward by an Italian professor of mathematics and physics which places Kojce as the sole entry point on the planet for positive lines for magnetic force from Space.

Taking to the main road, the Welcome team continued their journey, ultimately arriving in the striking traditional walled city of Korcula, one of the best preserved stone towns on the coast. One of the key traveller attractions in that city is it’s supposedly the birthplace of the great explorer Marco Polo, who would doubtless have endorsed the initiative of the Welcome Project.

Cycling thru the town’s streets, the team then heading for their last destination for the day, the tiny village of Lumbarda, where they completed the route for the letter “M” in the “Welcome” message. Due to some diversions from the planned route, particularly on the island of Hvar, the letter “M” is not as clear as the rest, but still extraordinarily meaningful.

With just the letter “E” to go, the project is entering its last stages, with arrival in Dubrovnik lined up for June 3. The final stages include travelling along the Peljesac Peninsula to Ston, before backtracking thru the Bosnian Riviera (the one time the project leaves Croatia) to the border town of Metkovic, and then back to Peljesac and on to the island of Mljet before a last canoe effort to Dubrovnik, as reported tagza.com.

Croatia is very stunning country and everybody who comes in this wonderful country, wish to have Croatia real estate. The Croatian real estate market is fairly well developed. Croatian land and Croatian home prices are still astonishingly propitious, particularly on the Dalmatian islands where properties such as beautiful Croatia stone houses built in the standard style.

Also in the beautiful Croatia consequential towns like Dubrovnik, Hvar, Zadar or Korcula there are amazing real-estate and property chances to acquire prime location property at reasonable prices. Foreign interest in purchasing property in Croatia, including the miniscule islands, suddenly grew two years ago. Until then foreigners didn’t believe this was a market a smart idea to take a position in property.

Broker real-estate are specialists in real-estate and property in all areas of Croatia. Croatia has an enormous range of villas on Dalmatian islands, apartments in pictoresque old towns, houses close to the fully clear Adriatic, houses or any sort of property or property for development in the major vacation maker and vacation home areas of Croatia, including Dubrovnik and Istria.

The short term rental market will grow with the number of returning vacation makers. Untouched, relaxed, tasty, and safe, Croatia is one of Europe’s loveliest treasures. Everything a discriminating visitor or house customer is searching for can be discovered here : clear as crystal seas, changeless fishing hamlets, and unsullied beaches, Roman ruins, a spotless lake district, and medieval walled towns. Although property prices in Croatia have been increasing at a rate of between twenty p.c and 30 % per annum lately, it isn’t too late to purchase.
