Sports star chooses to holiday Croatia style

15 May 2009

A retired Slovenian basketball star has opted for a Croatia travel experience this summer.

Ivo Daneu, who is 71 years old, will spend time in the country over the weekend, reports the Croatian Times.

The ex-sportsman has his own ship and will be checking out the delights offered by Dalmatia islands Brac and Hvar.

Commenting to the newspaper, Daneu revealed that he will spend three days cruising around the popular Croatia holiday destinations.

It would appear that a number of British vacationers have had a similar idea to the Slovenian this year because the Post Office reports that the kuna currency has been one of the fastest-growing foreign exchange markets in 2009.

Head of travel services at the Post Office Sarah Munro said that the fact Croatia is not in the euro zone may be one of the reasons for its popularity among tourists.

"Post Office sales show that [sales of the kuna are] up eight per cent on the same period last year," she explained.
