It’s said that when God was dividing the land on Earth between all its peoples, he quietly kept back the most precious part for himself. When he had finished the distribution and all the nations had a land to call their own, he realised that he had forgotten the Dalmatians. He looked at them and said, “Well, I was keeping this for myself, but since there’s nothing else left, I’ll give it to you. After all, I still have Paradise…”

While previously they called it Illyricum, at a certain point in history, the Romans named this whole area – from Slovenia to Albania – ‘Dalmatia’.
In the 19th century most Dalmatians liked to see Dalmatia, within its present-day borders, as a bridge connecting the Slavonic and the Mediterranean worlds. An area that, far from of dividing them, connects these diverse cultures and religions.
And for our part, we like to see it in this light too. That’s why we offer not only the tours through Dalmatia/Croatia but also through the surrounding countries like Slovenia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Albania.

So, here is Dalmatia, the land most beloved of God.
The most beautiful region of the Mediterranean desired by all the great powers in their time, but still never possessed by any but the Dalmatians themselves.
Different empires, from the Illyria to Ancient Greece, from Rome to Byzantium, laid claim to it. Then came the Venetians, Austrians, French, British, Serbs and finally the Croats, but Dalmatia has never lost its identity, its spirit.
