Accommodation Croatia: A ship-shape choice
04 April 2008
Croatia's increasingly varied choice of villas and apartments has just been extended further - with a quirky new ship-shaped edifice.
Ananova reports that the 'ship home' in Cista Velika - in the south of the country - was first built around 25 years ago.
Now its owners, who commissioned its construction, want to sell 'Mirko' to people who will give it a new lease of life.
"It was my wife and mine's idea to open a fish restaurant and we went for a nautical theme - hence the ship," 63-year-old Ante Ancic explained to the news provider.
"But once we got used to it, we realised that instead of doing that we really liked it so much we wanted to live in it."
Mr Ancic went on to point out that the ship house is bigger than a normal abode, although it has "taken a bit of work" to look after over the years.
"Cleaning it from top to bottom really was a case of all hands on deck. We would get the entire family, as well as uncles, aunts, cousins and friends involved," he remarked.
Any potential buyer who happens to be a real sailor "looking to finally weigh anchor" could be treated to a discount, concluded the nautical-but-nice seller.
