I have nothing bad to say about this place. It's a little way from Split on the bus, but you wouldn't really want to stay in Split anyway. Run by a beautiful family who really looked after us while we were there. Would stay again in a heartbeat.

Steve, Australia | Male 18-24 | 27th October 2009

Definitely the best hostel i ever stayed at. Mira is the best cook in all croatia (Ohrstöpsel). Everyone was really helpful and hospitable. Special thanks to Milan for bringing us to Split, so we could go to Mostar. Nikola (Nicolai) is really an attraction ;). Everyone should come and visit us in the north, we would be really happy to see you again! We will come back... for sure! This is for Ante: Ej was geht ab? Liebe Grüße und noch mal vielen Dank, Steffi und Sören

Steffi, Germany | Couple 18-24 | 26th October 2009

Fantastic. Real hospitality. Very generous hosts. Spacious rooms, great common area, excellent internet. We enjoyed a couple of great bbqs together with the family's wine, local grappa and vegetables from the garden. The sea is at the door. You'd be nuts to stay anywhere else.

Adrian, Australia | | 08th August 2009

This hostel is freaking paradise! I have been traveling around for a while and there's no hostel to compare with Adria. You are welcomed with open arms, the place got that "home-feeling", and once you get here you don't want to leave. This is definitely the place to stay while in Croatia!

Communicating

Croatian people (even if they are not backpackers) are overwhelmingly friendly and like to travel themselves.

Do not hesitate to ask questions if you are stuck, if you got lost or if you need help. There are many Croatians who do not speak English, but understand it.

Do not hesitate to offer your help to the others.

Travelling

Before going to Croatia please be sure to have a travel insurance.

Transportation to the islands can be quite expensive. If you want to visit several islands then you should better buy an island hopping ticket. And remember that a trip on a ferry will be cheaper that on a hydrofoil.

Travelling by train is normally more expensive and less safe than by bus.

In several parts of Croatia there is a serious problem of unexploded landmines. Croatian Mine Action Centre (http://www.hcr.hr/en/minskaSituacija.asp#) publishes the latest information on known and suspected mine areas with the. You should not travel away from known safe areas.

Planning budget

It is not recommended to plan less than 50 dollars for a day for a person travelling n Croatia. Of course, you can travel even on a tighter budget, but normally you should take 50 dollars as a minimum in your calculations.

Buying

If you are travelling on a tight budget, avoid touristic areas where you will be charged more than normal for the same quality of goods or products.

Before you order drinks at certain bars and "cabarets" you should check prices.

Entertainments

Walking along the street with a bottle of beer is allowed any time.

If you are drunk, try not to be provocative and too noisy.

Avoid conflicts.

Drugs use is illegal in Croatia. Even soft drugs.
