Rides a cable car to a fortress high above Zagreb - visits the birthplace of Tito at Kumrovec - goes market-shopping in the cellars of Roman emperor Diocletian's palace beneath the streets of Split - marvels at Pula's huge Roman amphitheatre - sees Shetland ponies alongside elephants in Brijuni National Park - sails to the best of the hundreds of tiny islands easily reached from either Split, Zadar or Pula - enjoys a meal in Placido Domingo's favourite Italian restaurant - explores the eerie moonscapes of the Kornati archipelago - follows the crowds at the Dubrovnik Festival and rejoices in the rebuilding of the historic old city - seeks out Hum, the 'smallest town in the world' - swims beneath a waterfall in the Krka National Park.
