Bird-watching eco-tour launched in Croatia
Monday, July 27, 2009Lovers of birds may wish to consider taking a holiday tour in Croatia, the tourist board has suggested.
Until October, imaginative travellers taking a break in Croatia may be able to spend a week on a bird watching holiday at an eco centre.
Located on the Croatian island of Cres, the destination is home to some 215 different species of birds, including the rare Eurasian Griffon vulture.
The Eco Centre Caput Insulae is well known for its bird conservation work and it is situated in the 1,000-year-old Tramuntana forest.
During the holiday tour, travellers will be able to take boat trips to designated ornithological reserves, including Kruna and Podokladi.
Holidaymakers will also have time to explore the seven eco trails close to the centre, including on the beach at Pod Beli.
Those visiting Croatia during August, may wish to pay a visit to the normally sleepy town of Sali on Dugi Otok island.
A four-day festival of donkey racing takes place at the start of the month each year.
