"THE DALMATIAN COAST - This year skip the French and Italian Riviera and head for Croatia's Dalmatian Coast, where mountains meet the shimmering Adriatic Sea. The region is still relatively undiscovered, which means unspoiled beaches and affordable prices even in the medieval walled city of Dubrovnik."

'The Dalmatian Coast beaches of Croatia on the Adriatic Sea are getting their share of buzz [for 2006]', according to CNN website's recent December 2005 travel report about Dalmatia.
