There WAS a civil war, Serbs caught Croats within the borders of Croatia , there was also a war of independence, but to say there was no civil war is to try rewrite history.
My grandfather was born in what is now Bosnia and, during the Yugoslavia time period, he bought a piece of land on Hvar in a secluded cove and he built a house there. The war was for the countries to gain independence from Yugoslavia, so technically not a civil war. After the war, grandfather adapted his 3 story house into 6 apartments for the tourist season. He spends 9 months on the seaside and 3 inland, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. I grew up bouncing between inland Sarajevo and Hvar, travelling Europe on business trips with parents, and I concluded that there's no place quite as magical as Dalmatia. The air, the sea, the food, the sun, the mud, is all medicinal and what I refer to as the fountain of youth. Just beware of Bura storms and summer heat from 12:00-16:00 and stay clean, respectful, and friendly.

One thing is for sure .. whoever has tried to present and describe Dalmatia in less than an hour of video material has failed. It's simply impossible ... for both commercial and non-commercial purposes. Not even 20 hours of mega production series would be enough to present all the information about Dalmatia (sites, culture, history, archeology, tradition and present). From the beginning of the world until today, only four great world empires have never integrated Dalmatia into their territory - Babylon, Assyria, Egypt and Persia. From ancient Greece onwards, every empire has left a deep root on this little piece of perfection under the sun called Dalmatia. This video partially covered only southern Dalmatia, while he did not even mention central Dalmatia, with the capital city of Zadar. Before David the King of Israel occupied a small threshing floor on seven hills, from the Jebusite people, and established the city of Jerusalem, Zadar was already an established Illyrian port city in the Mediterranean ... continuously inhabited for 3,000 years. Romulus and Remus had not yet sucked the milk of a She-wolf, while boats and ships were sailing through the port of Zadar (aka. Iadera, Adria, Diadora, Zara). But, anyway ... thanks for this remarkable try.
France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Portugal are massively more popular for the coastline. Switzerland, Austria, Czechia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Sweden for inland cities. For every tourist that comes to Croatia, 100 visit each of these other countries. Croatia, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina, is dramatically overlooked and underrated. Yes, there are 10 million tourists every year, but Paris sees that in a month and most of those tourists are from Poland and Czechia.
@@superymariowest2403 croatia has 4 milion people but in reality tourists only visit Dalmatia and Istria which combined have 1 milion people. So basicaly 20 milion tourists visit a region of 1 milion people. Paris has 10 milion people. I doubt that 200 milion people visit Paris each year
I am a surfer from Florida. I have NEVER been to Hawaii. Why? Because Hawaii was Taken by force from the Native Hawaiian's by the US in 1897. So, every stinking tourist is just another invader in a country who don't even know the reality of the history. That the Country was an independent and sovereign State, until the US decided to take it from them. I have been to Bulgaria a number of times. I even live there now part of the year. But I know that the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria does not compare with the Dalmatian Coast. But I will NOT go to the the Adriatic Sea to swim in the waters and trek the islands. Because I don't belong there and I don't know anyone there. I DON"T believe in Bucket List Travel. I believe in learn one other country from your own, and go there each year and even marry a person from there and make their country and culture part of your own. Otherwise, it's just like visiting a Brothel. It feels nice, and it's NOT cheap, but do you even remember the names of the people that served you? I was with my BG wife before we married once to Bali. It was a Bucket List trip. But to this day, 24 years later I still remember the head of the restaurant that we ate at each day in our modest hotel. Suanta Ketut was his name. And he took us on a little trip around the island and we did get to see some special places. I know we just scratched the surface. But I will not go back. It's the land of the Balinese and NOT the tourists. But before the Covid-19 pandemic they had 7 million tourists tourists. That has an impact on the place, it's resources, the waste generated and it takes ordinary Balinese and turns them into Curios Shop sellers, instead of what they did traditionally before all of the TOURISTS came. I hope to visit once, but I want to come for a month or two. Because I really want to learn and feel the place there. Not just BUCKET LIST CHECK it off my list. Maybe I am just stupid? But I am very dissatisfied with the NOTION of Tourism. It's cheap and temporary and meager and leaves me feeling pathetic and superficial.
