Croatia is located in the northwestern part of the Balkan Peninsula. It is a small yet highly geographically diverse crescent-shaped country. Its capital is Zagreb, located in the north.

The present-day republic is composed of the historically Croatian regions of Croatia-Slavonia (located in the upper arm of the country), Istria (centred on the Istrian Peninsula on the northern Adriatic coast), and Dalmatia (corresponding to the coastal strip). Although these regions were ruled for centuries by various foreign powers, they remained firmly Western-oriented in culture, acquiring a legacy of Roman law, the Latin alphabet, and western European political and economic traditions and institutions.

This documentary is the second part in a series with a journey from the island of Vis to Dubrovnik. The Blue Grotto of Bisevo is also featured and the main reason for many tourists coming from Split or from the surrounding islands. Makarska is another featured location and the most famous tourist resort on the Croatian Riviera.

Another important place featured is the island of Korcula. The parents of Marco Polo, the most important seafarer of European history, lived here. Whether her famous son was born here, is not handed down. However, the highlight of this part of the trip to Croatia is the visit of the city of Dubrovnik, the city of churches and monasteries.
