ISBN: 9789531785730, 392pp - colour.
Probably the best guide of all the coast, from Istria to the most southern Dalmatian areas. Features excellent descriptions of all the cities, towns and many villages. What to see, when to be there, how to get there as well as their histories. It features individual maps of major towns, ferry links and marinas, the laminated cover folds out to show the whole of the coast so you can place the cover inside the text pages so there's no need to keep rifling back through the book. Each major tourist attraction is illustrated (although the quality and age of the photographs need to updated). The back of the book features a brief guide to Croatian wines and cuisine. For me this book was indispensable when I first visited the country. All you need more is a good phrasebook/dictionary and a guide to places to stay.
