APRIL 30TH 2009.

Welcome to our beautiful cityand to the fourth edition of thesecond season of The Sibenik Ti-mes. Its a big week for the Sibe-nik County with plenty of thingsto do and see. A week of events inwhich we can enjoy not only thetastes and aromas of cuisines butalso the sights and sounds of bra-ss bands and processions. Firstlythe town of Skradin is hostingan Eco Fair in which naturallybased products will be on offerto try and buy. The event will lastfor two days from the 1st to the2nd of May and after the previ-

ous years it should prove to be abig hit. I personally am a fan ofnaturally grown and producedfoods and drinks and avoid GMenhanced foods like the plague.The second, and by no means le-ss important event, is the Day ofthe City of Vodice. Although thisspecial day for the city is only onone day the program is full andwill last a full week. City Days arevery important in Croatia and aregreatly respected and always pullbig crowds. The city is Vodice isone of the most picturesque notonly in the Sibenik County but al-so on the Dalmatian coast. If youhave time to catch up with one

of the events whilst in the area Iwould strongly recommend it, ifonly to use it as an excuse to visitVodice. With all these events andhappenings Im keeping my fin-gers tightly crossed that the weat-her doesnt let us down. If we areto believe what the forecasterstell us, and I dont, then were infor a mixed week. However myoptimistic side tells me that thesun will shine non-stop.

TOURIST SEASON OFF TOA SUCCESSFUL START

CROATIA MULLS SUNDAY OPENING HOURS

CROATIAN NAUTICAL TOURISM

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY

CROATIAN ISLANDS VOTED AS THE

MOST BEAUTIFUL IN THE WORLD

More than 60,000 tourists ha-ve spent their Eastern holidayson the Adriatic coast, as manyas during the best past Croatiantourism seasons. It was also tenper cent more than expected,according to the daily Slobod-na Dalmacija. Istria welcomed30,000, and Split-Dalmatiancounty 6,500, tourists. Twohundred hotels were open onthe Adriatic coast. Accordingto the Zadar tourist board, theZadar area was visited by 5,000to 6,000 tourists. Zadar touristboard head Zvonko Supe sa-id today (Tues): "This was thebest Easter since the end of thewar. It appears the season willbe good despite many negativeprognoses. We are pleased thatso many tourists from Austria,Germany, Slovenia, Spain andHungary were here this year.Also, thanks to Ryanair, we havehad 450 guests from Scandina-vian during the last three days."

Supe added that many Croatshad also visited Zadar this year.With 3,500 passengers thus farin April, Zadar airport has haddouble the number compared tothe same month last year, accor-ding to the 057info.hr website.Most passengers arrived on Rya-nair from London, Edinburgh,Dublin, and Stockholm and onGermanwings from Cologne andStuttgart. In the last three days,Split airport has seen the arrivaland departure of 6,000 tourists,of whom 4,500 were foreigners.Twenty per cent of the hotels onthe coast have reported betterresults than last year. Accordingto the Dubrovnik tourist board,around 5,000 guests spent theirEaster holidays in the Dubrov-nik area, an increase of 30 percent compared to last year. Mostguests were from Spain, France,Great Britain, Italy and Japan,but there were also many Cro-ats.

The Croatian government isconsidering proposals to allow

retailers to open on Sundays, ithas been reported. Currently,retailers in the popular Adriaticdestination can only sell on aSunday during summer, whenmost tourists visit the country,the Croatian Times reported.But pressure from several townsin the Balkan nation and theCroatian

Chambers of Trades and

Crafts could lead to extendedhours all year round. Referen-

cing an article in Poslovni Dne-vik, the Croatian Times claimsthat Prime Minister Ivo Sanaderis close to reversing the regulati-on, which was initially introdu-ced in January of this year. Re-gardless of shop opening hours,Croatia has reportedly attracted60,000 tourists already in 2009,according to statistics publishedby Slobodna Dalmacija.

The readers of the Spanishissue of the Conde Nast Travelermagazine has awarded the firstprize to the "islands of the Cro-atian Adriatic" in the category ofthe most beautiful islands in the

world. Readers of the magazinein voted in fifteen categories,for the best city hotel, best re-sort, best wellness-central, thebest destination, beautiful city,beautiful island, the best airli-

ne company and others. In thestrong competition from theGreek islands, Corsica, PuertoRica and Mauritius, the mostbeautiful islands in the world were awarded to "the islands

of the Croatian Adriatic." Inte-restingly, the readers couldntdecide which island of the ma-ny Croatian islands is the mostbeautiful. Hence they awardedthe prize to them all.

The Croatian Government adopted a strategy for

the promotion of nautical tourism over the next tenyears, according to which no more than 15,000 ber-ths would be built during that period, as opposed to33,000 as initially planned by regional authorities.The strategy specifies 15 top locations, which are:Rovinj, Pula - St. Katharine, Rijeka - Porto Baros, No-valja, Pakostane, Zadar, Sibenik - Mandalina, DugiRat, Split - Znjan, Marina, Vis, Dubrovnik - Gruz,Slano, Orebic and Vela Luka. Over the next ten ye-ars the Croatian Government estimates and plans toconstruct 5 thousand new berths in existing portsand marinas; 5 thousand berths will be built in newlocations along the Croatian coast and islands, aswell as 5 thousand sites for the accommodation ofvessels on land, i.e. dry docks. Further plans inclu-de the building of marinas for mega-yachts close toairports and large cities where currently the alreadyexisting infrastructure is not able to accommodate

large vessels. All the mentioned steps are expectedto secure growth in the nautical tourism in Croa-tia during the next ten years at estimated rate of10 percent. Croatian Adriatic is one of the leadingnautical destinations on the world and the CroatianGovernment is taking steps to secure that position.

CROATIA - ONE OF THE COOLEST

DESTINATIONS FOR THE BRITS

SIBENIK SCHOOLS OFFER SPECIAL PROGRAM

THE FIRST SOLAR-POWER PLANT WILL BE BUILT IN SIBENIK

British newspaper "Mirror" selected Croatia,

Egypt, Turkey and Hungary as the most attractiveand the coolest destinations for British tourists forthis year. "Mirror" claims that, because of the globalfinancial crises if holidaying in one of these four co-untries youll get the best value for your money. Al-though Greece and Spain remain high on the holidaywish list, the real bargains are outside the Euro Zone,where you can enjoy the sun, sea and fine food formuch less. In Croatia prices for hotels, restaurants,spa centres, and boat travel, are usually around 20percent lower than in other European countries.

The maritime school "Adriamare" inSibenik is starting a new educational pro-gramme the aim of which is to teach sea-farers how to deal with pirates. Adriama-re head Nikolina Cigic said today (Weds)Croatian seafarers would be among thefirst in the world to learn about piratesand their tactics and aims. Cigic addedstudents would also learn how to avoidtheir ambushes and how should one beha-ve if captured by pirates. The educationalprogramme will also provide informationabout negotiating with pirates, the daily

Slobodna Dalmacija has reported. CaptainGordan Baraka, one of Adriamares fo-unders, said: "At this moment, more than20,000 Croatian sailors are on 5,000 to6,000 ships around the world, and that isa huge number. All of them are potential

victims of pirates, who are becoming theglobal threat of the 21st century." In itseducational programme, Adriamare willuse the experience and knowledge of Isra-eli maritime companies, the ships of whichpirates avoid because Israeli crews knowhow to deal with them. The programmehas been set up according to the criteria ofthe International Maritime Organization(IMO). Lecturers will be Croat seafarers,maritime inspectors, managers and capta-ins who have dealt with or been capturedby pirates. The course will start in June.

Adriamare was the first school to offereducational programmes for seafarers onsafety on the sea 20 years ago, and it ho-sted a world conference on safety on thesea two years ago. The school is also pla-nning a world conference on piracy.

The first Croatian solar-power plant willbe built in Promina municipality, northe-ast of Tribunj, in Sibenik-Knin county. Themunicipalitys urban plan reserves around250 hectares of land for the power plant,the daily Jutarnji list has reported. If thelocal government agrees, the first solar-power plant will be build by the ZagrebNexus investment fund. Nexus represen-tatives Miha Jager and Marko Maheksaid today (Tues) the solar-power plantwould have a capacity of 60 MW, 10 MW

more than the first and only Europeansolar-power plant in Spain. The plant,construction of which will take two yearsand employ 300 workers, will cost aro-und 80 million Euros. Once finished, theplant will employ almost 100 workers, 80per cent of whom will be specialists. TheNexus representatives added that Croatiantechnology and equipment would be usedin construction of the plant. Jager and Ma-hek added Nexus wanted to build anothersolar-power plant near the town of Drnis.

AroundTheCounty-Primo

sten

Primoten is certainly onethe most beautiful places on theAdriatic coastline. It gets its na-me from the peninsular on whi-ch it is situated and which untilthe 16th century was detachedfrom the mainland. In 1542, inthe days when the Turkish we-re conquering the area, the lo-cal inhabitants built a movablebridge together with towers andfortifications so they could de-fend themselves from enemies.When the Turkish retreated andthe threat of invasion ceased the

bridge was destroyed and in itsplace an embankment was con-structed which is still in place to-day. Today a network of narrowside streets criss-cross the pe-ninsular with typical Dalmatianwalls, buildings and architecture.The towns skyline is dominatedby the church St. Jurja, whose

foundations were laid in 1760.Inside this beautiful church arekept precious paintings such asThe Virgin Mary (which has asolid silver frame) and St. Mariawith St. Luke (painted in 1719)as well as a graveyard with aspectacular panorama. This,however, isnt the oldest churchin the area. This honour goes toSt. Jere which was constructedin 1460 and is located in irokenear to Primoten. Due to thelocation and climate, Primotenhas been recognised as a tou-

rist destination for a long time.In fact tourist development go-es back at least fifty years. Thesymbol of tourism in the areais the hotel complex Primoten,which despite being damaged inthe Homeland War and losingsome of its capacity, has kept itsimage and has been renovated

in the last few years. Primotenalso has a strong history with wi-ne production and olive growingand with these roots has deve-loped rural tourism recentlyin the surrounding countryside. Apart from the already esta-blished production of domesticsmoked ham (prut) and cheese,the area is also now famous forthe development of ecologicallyfriendly foods including chickpeas, lentils, beans and of cour-se the unmistakeable olive oils.The most well known product of

this area is almost certainly thered wine Babi, which is pro-duced from grapes grown in theBucavac region. These vineyardshave the official status of a mo-nument to peoples work anda painting depicting them hangsfrom a reception hall in the UNheadquarters in New York. In

close proximity to Primoten liesthe marina Kremik. The beautyof this marina is unique on theAdriatic Sea and it is certainlyone of the safest and most wellprotected marinas in the region.It is defended from winds fromall four points of the compassand is well used by marinersfrom all over the world, thereare also an organised diving andsurfing clubs. It is also possibleto anchor yachts, with a draft upto 3.5 meters, close to the townof Primoten. But care must be

taken because the port is opento winds from the south and west and good attention mustbe taken when mooring and an-choring. Apart from the rich ga-stronomic offer the town has tooffer there are a number of otherinteresting activities for guests.For younger guests and the yo-

ung at heart a disco, Aurora issituated on the hill overlookingthe town, which is in fact thelargest in this part of the Adri-atic. Two important events forthe area are the traditional Pri-moten Festival and the Primo-ten delicacies which are heldin the first week of August. Alsomention must be made of theart gallery Sfere as well as theambient gallery Kamene Sfere.In Primoten there is also a balletschool, run by the famous balletexperts Ane Roje and Oskar Har-

mo. There are also plans to turnthe Orson Welless former villainto a museum. The world famo-us actor fell in love with the areaso much that he planned to livehere permanently; unfortunatelyhis premature death ended hisdream of enjoying his Primotenvision.

PEKA - DISHES COOKED UNDER A METAL BELLSkradin is well known for its preparation of dishes under a large metal or ce-

ramic cover. It is used to cover the food and then coals and hot ashes are scat-

tered on top. This way the food stays succulent and has a specific flavour. Lamb

or veal prepared in this way is especially appetizing but also octopus or rooster

with side potatoes and vegetables. At Bribirska Glavica the evidence of a rooster

prepared in this manner has been discovered dating from the Liburnian period!!

ProgrammeProgram

Ovog tjedna u gradu se odr-ava mnotvo razliitih doga-anja, jeste li planirali posjeti-ti koji od njih?

Zapravo, Grad Vodice je za- jedno sa svim sportskim i kul-turnim udrugama, organizatorsvih dogaanja povodom "DanaGrada", a na hotel "Punta", kakose nalazi uz crkvu sv. Kria odkoje kree procesija na Dan Gra-da, pripremi stol sa autohtonim

kolaima i piima, te poastimoljude koji sudjeluju u toj pro-cesiji. Takoer sudjelujemo i uoranizaciji smjetaja sudionikabiciklistike utrke, te u progla-enju pobjednika utrke sa svea-nim rukom u hotelu.

Je li se proslava Dana gra-da promijenila odkad ste Vibili dijete?

"Dan Grada" kroz moje dje-tinjstvo se nije slavio na ovajdatum, ve je to bio "dan oslo-boenja" Grada - poetkom 11.mjeseca.

Kakva e po Vama biti ovo-godinja sezona u Vodicama?

Moje miljenje za nadolazeu

sezonu je da ni nas ova kriza ne-moe totalno zaobii, premda sainjenicom da smo najblie toplomore u Evropi na turistikom tr-itu trenutno stojimo bolje oddrugih mediteranskih destinaci-

ja, prognoziram da e ukupniminus biti oko 5%, s tim datreba raunati da nee bitionog kontinuiranog godi-njeg porasta od 5-10% s ko-jim smo dosad uvijek radili.Turisti e se odricati nekihdrugih putovanja (kao toimamo podatke o padu po-sjeta turista Pragu, Londonu,itd.), dok se odlaska na lje-tovanje nee odrei, eventu-

alno e se smanjiti potronjau restoranima i trgovinama.Moram napomenuti da pro-logodinji pad dolazaka, inaevjernih gostiju iz Italije moramoprekinuti i nekim ad hoc akcija-ma taj trend vratiti na prijanjenivoe. to se tie poslovanja ho-tela "Punta" za prva 4 mjesecaove godine, biljeimo porast odgotovo 30%, to je vie nego do-bra najava nadolazee sezone.

Kako biste Vi u tri rijei naj-bolje opisali proslavu Danagrada?

Kao i svake godine, hotel"Punta" e nastojati odratitrend poveanja broja dolaza-

ka, noenja i financijskih rezul-tata kroz razliitosti ponude ipodizanja kvalitete usluge. Na-stojimo naim gostima pruitito bolju uslugu, osjeaj ugodei pristupanosti svakom gostu, a

gostk o j in a mse po-n o v n o vrati nam je najboljipokazatelj na-eg naina poslovanja.

Naravno, menadment desti-nacije treba odigrati vanuulogu, jer bez strategije ivizije destinacije nemogu seostvarivati rezultati kojimase tei.

The city has organized a week full of events, whichones will you attend?

Actually, the City of Vodicetogether with all sporting andcultural associations are the jo-int organisers of all the eventsplanned during the Day of theCity. As Hotel Punta is situatedright next to the St. Cross churchfrom which the main processionwill start we will prepare a buffettable with traditional cakes anddrinks and treat all the partici-pants of the procession. Also wewill arrange accommodation forall the participants of the bicyc-le race as well as awarding thewinner with a gala lunch in thehotel. How has Dan Grada chan-ged since you were a child?

Day of the City of Vodice wasnt celebrated on this datethrough my childhood, in factit was celebrated on the citysindependence day at the be-ginning of November.

What are your opinions abo-ut the current summer seasonin Vodice?

My opinion for the coming se-ason is that this current financi-al crisis cant completely destroythe whole season. Given the factthat we are one of the closest de-stinations, as far as warm seasare concerned, in the whole ofEurope means that we are cu-rrently in a much better situa-tion than other Mediterraneandestinations. My opinion is thatwe will have a total minus of 5%on last year, which would meanthat are normal 5 10% increasethat we have experienced overthe last few years would be hardto reach. I have to mention thatlast years drop in the amount ofguests from Italy, who are ourtraditional guests, is worryingand something we need towork on. As far as the businessof Hotel Punta is concerned forthe first four months of this ye-ar we have seen an increase of

30%, which is much more thanwe had expected. What are your expectationsfor Hotel Punta for this year?

Like every year Hotel Puntawill continue to maintain thetrend of increasing the numberof incoming guests, overnightstays and the overall financialresult though varying offers andby raising the quality of our ser-vice. We will continue to provideour guests the best standards in

service, comfortable surroundin-gs and looking after every guestin the way we know. When gue-sts come back to the hotel this isthe best advert for us. Of course,the management of the wholedestination plays an importantrole in the whole strategy ofVodice, because without astrategy and a clear vision the wholeresort will not beable to achievethe requiredresults.

Historyofthecity

Sibenik excels among all Croatiantowns on the Adriatic coast by its uniquelocation in a picturesque and large bay,at the mouth of the Krka River. Createdinitially as a fortification or a campus, be-neath the St. Michaels Fortress that stilldominates the town, Sibenik was menti-oned for the first time in 1606, in a do-cument issued by the most important ofCroatian rulers - the king, Petar KresimirIV. Sibenik obtained its status of a townin 1298, when the Diocese of Sibenikwas established. A view of Sibenik reve-als the unique harmony of urban poeticsof the town and its natural surroundings.The harbor, connected with the open seaby the St. Anthony Strait, has been theinitiator of development of sailing, tra-ding and the overall economic prosperityof the town for centuries. At the entranceinto the straight, there is the fortress ofSt. Nicholas, the most important rena-issance fortress at the eastern coast ofthe Adriatic. The town is surrounded bythe fortresses of St. Michael, St. Johnand Subievac that, together with thefortress of St. Nicholas, make the sym-bol of the centuries long no subjugationof Sibenik, confirmed in the recent Ho-meland War. St. Jacobs, the cathedralof Sibenik, built for over a century, is atestimony of persistency, sacrifice andbelief of the generations of inhabitantsof Sibenik. By many things it is uniquenot only in Croatian architecture, but inEuropean design as well: it is entirely

built of stone, no other material beingused; it is unique by the brave structureof stone slabs and ribs, with no bindingmaterial; it is also unique among renais-sance churches by its trefoil front facade;finally, it is unique by the harmony of itsarchitecture and the row of 71 realisticsculptural portraits around the apses.Documents preserved from the time ofbuilding of the cathedral evidence con-tributions from the entire community toits building, but from many individualsas well, including large number of do-mestic stone-dressers, builders and arti-

sans. The most important among themis Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac, who camefrom Zadar and who the town of Sibenikcommissioned in 1441 to take over thejob of the proto-master of the cathedralof Sibenik. The cathedral and the nearbyrenaissance town hall, other churches,palaces, and the Princes Palace presentlyhousing the County Museum, make pro-bably the most beautiful town square ofthe Croatian urban heritage.

APRIL 30TH 2009.

The cuisine of Sibenik andthe islands follows the trendof modern nutritional cooking.The brief thermal preparationof foodstuffs (mainly boilingor grilling) and plenty of fish,olive oil, vegetables and home-grown herbs found near the seais why this cuisine is consideredto be very healthy. Meals alongthe Dalmatian coast are heavily influenced by their Italianancestry which is why the coa-stal resorts tend to fill up withItalians in summer. Often themeals begin with a nice plate ofpasta; black risotto or spaghettiin squid ink sauce is especiallypopular.

Dalmatian cuisine relies hea-vily on the fresh fish and seafo-od that are caught (or farmed)offshore. Look for sea bass, gro-uper, scorpion fish, pilchards,mackerel, squid and sea bream.Fish is usually grilled with localolive oil, garlic and lemon. Regi-ons with an abundance of freshwater are famous for their frog,eel and river crab dishes.

Meat isn't forgotten either.Thin slices of smoked Dalmati-

an ham (prut) are often on theappetizer list. Lamb is popular

either boiled or baked. Dalmati-an pasticada is a meat stew (beefstuffed with lard and roasted in wine and spices) often servedwith gnocchi. One local delica-cy is dishes baked under an ironbell this is a traditional methodof cooking meat and vegetabledishes in a metal dome buried inglowing embers. If you plan ontrying this style of cooking thenrestaurants will normally needup to 3 hours notice in advanceto prepare the food, although itis well worth the wait.

Connoisseurs of cheese musttry all the different cheeses onoffer. In the markets one finds athick white cheese sold in littleplastic sacks and usually eaten,as an accompaniment to a salad,with salt and pepper. Paski sir, ahard cheese from the isle of Pag,is an excellent cheese and one ofthe most reputed.

Typical Dalmatian dessertswin the heart with their simpli-city. The most usual ingredientsinclude Mediterranean fruit,dried figs and raisins, almonds,honey, egg.

Famous wines include Dingac

and Postup then there are Posipand Grk, etc. And also Prosecco

(a sweet dessert wine), the verystrong grape (loza) and herbalbrandies (travarica, grapes wi-th medicinal herbs) and lique-urs. The Croatian beers mostfrequently drunk are Ozujskobeer and Kariovacko beer, bothof which are excellent. Foreignbeers tend to be more expensive,so unless you have a preferen-ce for a particular foreign beeryoull do no wrong choosingCroatian.

The Sibenik County offers a

wide range of places to dine.They range from rustic charmto silver service, catering for allmanner of special occasions.The menus of restaurants in Si-benik are mainly based on localspecialties. Although recentlya wider variety of cuisines hasemerged. The working hours ofmost restaurants are from 11.00- 24.00, although it is normallynever a problem if you wish tostay longer. The price includestaxes, but the service chargeis almost never included andis not mandatory. It is a custo-mary, however, that if you aresatisfied with the service a 10%

tip of the total amount is usu-ally a fair tip.

Bring the evaporated milk and regular milk to a

very gentle boil in a double boiler. While waitingfor the milk to boil, in a separate bowl mix togeth-er the yolks, granulated sugar and vanilla sugarat medium speed with a mixer. Add flour to the

yolk mixture until blended. Remove 2 cups of milkfrom the double boiler. Add this milk to the flour

mixture while continuously beating at low speed.

When blended, return this mixture to the milk stillin the double boiler and continue to cook until

thick while stirring very frequently. Mix togethergelatin with the cold water, let stand for 1 minuteand then add boiling water, mixing well with a

fork or small whisk. Add the gelatin to your cus-tard mixture in the double boiler and continue to

cook for about 5 minutes, continually stirring as it

thickens. Cool custard in ice water when removedfrom heat. In a separate bowl, beat the whippingcream until peaks form. Fold the whipped creaminto the cooled custard (make sure the custardhas cooled to room temperature before adding

the whipped cream). Refrigerate this mixture forabout 20 minutes so that it stiffens a bit and iseasier to spread. Trim the edges of the puff pas-

try sheets to fit a deep tray or baking dish. Placeone layer of puff pastry on bottom. Spread evenly

with custard and then place second layer of puff

pastry on top, pressing down slightly. Refrigeratefor at least 4 hours. Sprinkle with powdered sugar

on top prior to serving and cut into oblong pieces.Garnish with strawberry fans or chocolate dipped

strawberries if so desired
