So, from Graz, we headed straight to Croatia, to the end point of the route – the shores of the Adriatic sea, and the beautiful city of Pula.
From Graz to Pula – the biggest leg of the journey from Prague to 400 kilometers through Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. Really considerable for Europe the distance, however, do not worry. First, to go on good roads, and more than four hours the road will not take, moreover will be very comfortable. In a good car almost never gets tired, and renting a car is no problem in Europe, no.
Secondly, you, in addition to Austria and Croatia, will have to go through the whole Slovenia – and this is a very picturesque country with beautiful mountain views. We did not stay in Maribor and Ljubljana, but if you want you might do – the city is interesting, completely unfairly deprived of attention of the broad masses of tourist. Ljubljana, by the way, looks like this:
But that was the route. Highway E57 and He will lead you to the capital of Slovenia, and from there close to the Croatian border. A trail leads straight to the Pool. That's all good toll roads, you can go fast.
Well, that and the Pool! One of the tourist centers of Croatian (and the Adriatic in General), less common than Dubrovnik but no less interesting, and I like even more interesting.
Pool is one of the oldest cities in Europe, it was founded by the ancient Greeks. The most important periods of its history linked with the Roman Empire and the Venetian Republic, although in fact the city many times passed from hands in hands what to do, such is the hard life of the Balkan region.
If to speak about sights, the most important, of course – the Roman amphitheatre!
Him more than a thousand years, and, despite this, the building is in very decent condition. The amphitheater in Pula is the sixth in size among all "Coliseum" of the Roman Empire, in the years of operation for its intended purpose it could accommodate 23 thousand people. Not bad even for a modern football stadium! By the way, he now occasionally serves as a concert venue. On this score there are different opinions, but I think that a combination of modern culture and ancient history, fine.
