Dubrovnik cited in 'Using Astrology to Plan Travel this Holiday Season'

fshok.com Still vibrant and popular today, the five-thousand-year-old art of astrology can identify, say, business and romantic opportunities or challenges. And those celestial bodies slinking about the stars can also help pinpoint optimal times and places for travel. And since destinations have their own astro-charts -- which interact with yours -- astrology can even serve as a kind of spiritual travel agent. It can tell you, for example, about places likely to be harmonious or challenging…

    We worked our way from Dubrovnik to Korchula to Split to Zadar to Rab Island, a brief stop in Pula and finally Rovinj, all on public transport. A small group with Intrepid Tours (Australian), staying largely in private accommodations, as is common in that part of the world. As a bonus we finished up in Bled (Slovenia), and I bussed down to Ljubljana, where I would have stayed more than 1 night had I known how interesting a capital city it is. Croatia has done such a good job of maintaining its Medieval walled fortress cities authentically and keeping its modern manufacturing areas totally separate, virtually invisible to the tourist, at least along the Dalmatian Coast.

    I was visited Croatia in June, spending time in Split and Dubrovnik and LOVED it.

    I stayed in Cavtat, on a bay just outside of the Dubrovnik, and found it an easy base of operation for the southern part of the country.

    I'm hoping to make a return trip next year.

    What spots did you visit, Dorothy? I was last there more than a decade ago but loved it as well. They were still picking landmines out of the hills above Dubrovnik at the time, but hey...

    I spent 2 weeks on the Dalmatian Coast just a month ago, and was totally entranced. Recommend it highly.
